BEIJING, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Galbot, a global pioneer in embodied AI and general-purpose robotics, announced the launch of the Galbot S1, an industrial-grade heavy-duty embodied intelligence robot designed to meet the growing demands of modern manufacturing. This breaks the long-standing payload limit in the industry, achieving a continuous dual-arm payload of 50kg. This breakthrough robot pushes the industry's payload limits, achieving a continuous dual-arm payload of up to 50kg. The Galbot S1 has already been successfully deployed in the core production lines of manufacturing giants such as CATL, marking a historic shift for embodied AI from experimental demonstrations to real-world industrial applications. Powered by Galbot's proprietary AI, the robot's embodied handling model allows it to perform complex material handling tasks with high precision. The robot operates purely based on visual perception, eliminating the need for QR codes or labels for positioning. This means the Galbot S1 integrates seamlessly into existing production environments with minimal recalibration. It marks a significant step towards mass adoption of embodied intelligence in industrial production.
