Galbot (Beijing Galaxy General Robot Co. / 银河通用), founded May-23, is a Beijing-based embodied-AI company building full-stack humanoid/mobile-manipulator systems (flagship G1 wheeled dual-arm robot, unveiled Mar-25; industrial Galbot S1) governed by its self-developed 'Galaxy Brain/AstraBrain' foundation model trained mainly on simulated synthetic data. It is among China's most-funded embodied-AI players, raising through a Dec-25 round exceeding USD 300M (USD 3B valuation, USD 800M cumulative) and a Mar-26 round of ~RMB 2.5B lifting valuation above RMB 20B, with named industrial partners CATL and Bosch. The open question is commercial depth: it reportedly ships fewer than ~150 robots/year despite very high funding and valuation.

Unitree is the Chinese humanoid and quadruped leader (Shanghai STAR Market IPO in August 2026, ~$905M raised at ~$9B, closing up ~460-542% day one) that shipped 5,500 humanoids in 2025 (world #1 per its prospectus) with FY25 revenue of RMB 1.71B (~$250M, +335%) at ~60% gross margin, humanoids now 51.5% of core revenue. Its H2 full-size humanoid ships at $29,900 (the cheapest on the market) and its G1 at $13,500, with a $100K NVIDIA GR00T reference platform due late 2026, targeting ~20,000 humanoid shipments in 2026. A critical mix flag: >70% of 2025 humanoid sales were research and educational buyers, with industrial deployments under 10% of revenue, so its shipment count and its useful-work count are very different things.
