Galbot Unveils Bipedal Robot ET1 "Xingzai" with Real-Time Interaction Capabilities
At the 2026 World Robot Conference, Galbot debuted its first bipedal robot, Galbot ET1 (nicknamed "Xingzai"). Powered by the "AstraBrain" embodied AI model, the robot demonstrated real-time speech-to-action generation and performed complex street dance moves like handstands. This development showcases the progress of embodied AI in bipedal systems, moving away from pre-scripted routines toward real-time, adaptive physical interactions. It highlights how simulation-trained models can help robots generalize skills and interact naturally with humans. Galbot ET1 is claimed to be the world's first physical agent with autonomous learning capabilities, allowing it to recognize, extract, and replicate human movements in real time. Its motion control relies on Galbot's advanced motion control model and data infrastructure.
## BACKGROUND
Embodied AI combines artificial intelligence with physical bodies, enabling robots to perceive, reason, and interact with the physical world. Galbot's core technology, "AstraBrain" (AstraBrain/银河星脑), is trained in virtual environments using synthetic data (via AstraSynth) and fine-tuned in the real world to master generalizable skills.
