The space and objects it is designed to work with
The current G1 specification lists a maximum height of 1.73 metres, 650 mm of vertical adjustment and a mass of 92.5 kg. Its base is 600 mm long and wide. Galbot describes a wrist-centre workspace reaching from floor level to 2.1 metres vertically, with a 1.9-metre horizontal span. Those dimensions make the route and the work area part of any serious demonstration.1
The maker specifies 5 kg per arm, or 10 kg combined, measured at the wrists. It lists interchangeable grippers, suction tools and dexterous hands. The right tool therefore depends on the object: a package, a bottle and a soft garment pose different handling questions. Ask to see your actual objects with the end effectors included in the quoted package.1
Galbot lists 21 degrees of freedom excluding the base and end effectors. That count covers the neck, arms, waist and lifting mechanism, rather than every moving part in a complete package. Confirm the hand, suction tool or gripper when comparing configurations.1
Galbot lists eight hours of working time and 3.5 hours for adapter charging. Treat that as a manufacturer specification to test against the intended routine. A useful trial would include time spent travelling, waiting, grasping and recovering from mistakes, with charging fitted into the same schedule.1
Hardware is one part of the purchase
Galbot’s official product page links to a G1 listing on JD. As of the October 26, 2026 source check, no stable price or delivery territory was established from that listing. The documented G1 uses NVIDIA AGX Orin 64GB, rated at 275 TOPS. Ask the supplier to identify the exact hardware and tasks included in the quotation.13
The developer catalogue makes the software distinction explicit. Buyers can start with an SDK and tools, add a scenario kit, or arrange a complete custom solution, with the layers priced independently. If the objective is a working service rather than a development project, ask the supplier to specify the completed task, the installation work and the acceptance demonstration in the contract.2
Questions that matter in a shared space
G1's sensor list includes cameras, microphones and lidar. Before a trial around people, ask which data is stored, which leaves the site, who can connect remotely and how access is removed when a project ends. Those questions concern the delivered software and service, not simply the robot's camera count.1
For a home, choose one useful journey, such as bringing a particular item from a shelf to a table. Include the actual doorways, floor changes and people using that route. Ask how the robot signals that it is stuck and who helps it resume. Success on that complete journey is more informative than a catalogue of possible applications.1
For now, G1 is best evaluated as a configurable robot and service platform. A family should request a demonstration and an explicit household offer before treating the maker's domestic scenarios as a ready-made appliance. The next step is to establish what the supplier will deliver for your task, with your level of supervision.21
