Founded in May 2023 by Peking University professor Wang He, Galaxy Universal Robotics builds general-purpose humanoid robots that integrate high-level perception, cognitive planning, and low-level motor control through its self-developed “AstraBrain” embodied large model. The company pairs this model with the world’s largest embodied-intelligence dataset (tens of billions of data points) and a virtual-real fusion training system called “AstraSynth,” which it claims yields 1,000× higher training efficiency than Tesla and a 99 % task-success rate. Flagship robot Galbot S1 already performs fully autonomous work inside CATL battery factories and carries 50 kg dual-arm payloads under harsh industrial conditions. Commercial pilots span hundreds of “Galaxy Space Capsule” retail stores, 24-city smart-pharmacy networks managing 5,000 SKUs, and deployments in top hospitals such as Xuanwu and West China. Industrial partners include CATL, Bosch, Toyota, BAIC, and SAIC, with cumulative industrial orders in the thousands. The firm’s valuation topped US $3 billion after a late-2025 round and “continues to lead the humanoid robot industry,” supported by record cumulative fundraising that now exceeds any peer in China.
