Nothing changed about this robot itself — what you can see is the field shifting around it, or its maker's news rising and ageing.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 30 Aug, taken against 39 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.

Overview

The Galaxea AI R1 is a mobile manipulation robot designed for research and development. It features a wheeled omnidirectional base, a torso with multiple degrees of freedom, and two arms. The robot is equipped with a comprehensive sensor suite including stereo cameras, surround-view cameras, and LiDAR for 360-degree perception. It offers isomorphic teleoperation with full-body force feedback for precise remote control. The R1 series includes three variants: the high-performance R1 Pro for scene deployment, the standard R1 for comprehensive research, and the lightweight R1 Lite for data collection.
