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. Key specifications include a 10 kg maximum arm payload, a 0-2 m vertical workspace, and up to 26 degrees of freedom. It is powered by an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin with 200 TOPS of compute.
