Perceiving the environment, understanding spatial constraints, and coordinating whole-body motion are essential for humanoid robots to integrate into human society—and remain major challenges in robotics. To address this, the Galbot team introduces PASSAGE, a framework that combines environmental perception, whole-body motion planning, and closed-loop control, enabling humanoid robots to autonomously plan and execute flexible traversal motions based on their surroundings. Built on 100 hours of human data across 1,500 scenes, it achieves 98.67% success on the Clutter Scene Traversal benchmark. #PASSAGE #Galbot #embodiedAI #humanoidrobot

Hong Kong's 24-hour stores have a humanoid behind the counter Any hour of the day. You tap a screen, place an order, and it turns, reaches the shelf and hands you a drink. That's the Galbot G1, aka Xiao Gai, a wheeled robot that has been working three stores in Hung Hom, Wan Chai and Kai Tak for over a month. It chats in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. It stands up to 1.73 m tall, with two 7-DoF arms on a height-adjustable body, a reach from floor to 2.1 m, 5 kg per arm, and a four-wheel omnidirectional base. It runs on AstraBrain, Galbot's in-house embodied AI. Galbot says it already operates about 200 stores across nearly 50 mainland cities. Hong Kong is its first stop outside.

A humanoid robot is now working the night shift at a pharmacy... LBX Pharmacy has deployed Galbot’s wheeled humanoid G1 at a store in Shanghai’s Xuhui District. The robot can autonomously take orders, navigate smart shelves, pick medicines, load them into an automated packing system, and place finished orders into a smart pickup locker. Order->picking ->packing->dispatch is now almost fully automated. The last 3 km of delivery still rely on human couriers, who use the customer’s phone number to collect orders from the locker. LBX says G1 can handle 400–500 orders a day, with just 68 seconds of processing time per order. The average end-to-end dispatch time is under 90 seconds, with a reported picking accuracy of 100%. With G1 handling overnight operations, the pharmacy can reduce the labor pressure of running a 24/7 store, while keeping essential medicines available around the clock for local residents. G1 is powered by Galbot’s AstraBrain physical AI model and can reliably recognize and precisely pick from more than 10,000 products, including prescription and OTC drugs, medical devices, and prepackaged food. The more categories humanoid robots can handle, the more everyday needs they can serve. And the more real-world tasks they take on, the smarter they can become.

What do robot sports teach us? We have seen incredibly cool progress in robot soccer and tennis recently, but just as interesting is what we definitely do not see. Robots are increasingly capable of incredibly fluid, reactive whole body control - but their ability to perceive

香港に初のロボット売店「Galbot Store」　3カ所へ同時出店 hongkong.keizai.biz/headline/2972/

WATCH: From Cybercabs hitting the streets in Austin, Texas, to robots serving shoppers in Hong Kong, we round up the week's hottest stories in tech. Julian Satterthwaite reports reut.rs/4iWQgFI

Beijing-based company Galbot has launched its first humanoid robot-operated convenience stores in Hong Kong.

Galbot turned its robot family into a live stage show at WRC. 😂 The whole thing played out like a skit, but each robot got to show what it can do: the new ET1 and a G1 played hosts, S1 handled the heavy lifting, while another G1 worked the store counter. A much more fun way to show different robots doing different jobs. We filmed 100+ robotics companies at WRC and came home with 300 GB of footage. Plenty more good stuff to share.
