Galaxea R1 Wheeled Humanoid Robot (R1 Series)

Introduction / Overview

The Galaxea R1 Wheeled Humanoid Robot is a dual-arm, mobile manipulation platform designed to combine human-scale reach, bimanual manipulation, and robot navigation in a single wheeled system. The R1 is commonly described as a wheeled humanoid because it adopts an upper-body humanoid form factor—torso plus two arms—mounted on a maneuverable mobile base rather than bipedal legs. This architecture prioritizes stability, continuous operation, and practical deployment in labs and indoor environments while retaining the dexterity needed for real-world manipulation tasks.

In official product documentation, the R1 is presented as a full-size dual-arm humanoid robot with a vertical operating range up to ~2 meters and a horizontal operating radius around ~700 mm, targeting applications that require broad workspace coverage, mobile pick-and-place capability, and flexible interaction with objects at different heights—including floor-level retrieval and high-shelf access.

Design and Features

Wheeled humanoid architecture (mobile base + humanoid upper body)

Unlike traditional industrial manipulators fixed to a bench or pedestal, the R1 is designed for mobile manipulation: it can reposition itself and then execute manipulation tasks using its arms. Galaxea’s published overview describes the R1 as combining two Galaxea A1 robot arms, two G1 grippers, a 4-DoF torso, and a three-wheel steering vector chassis, enabling both reach expansion and agile indoor mobility.

This configuration reflects a growing industry trend: wheeled humanoids and mobile manipulators often achieve higher real-world task throughput than bipedal robots by avoiding balance constraints while still maintaining “human-like” manipulation posture and reach.

Dual-arm manipulation with torso articulation

The R1 concept emphasizes bimanual coordination—two arms working together—supported by a torso that adds extra degrees of freedom for workspace extension and ergonomic posture changes. In research literature referencing the platform, the R1 is described with two 6-DoF arms mounted on a 4-DoF torso, a structure well-suited to tasks like opening containers, stabilizing objects with one gripper while manipulating with the other, and executing coordinated two-hand actions.

End-effectors: grippers and dexterity options

Product materials commonly reference parallel grippers as the default end-effector configuration, optimized for reliable grasping across many object types. Some third-party listings and announcements mention optional configurations that can include more dexterous hands depending on the model variant and accessory selection.

“R1 Series” model lineup (R1 Pro, R1, R1 Lite)

Public-facing sources describe the R1 ecosystem as a series with multiple variants, typically including R1 Pro, R1, and R1 Lite, with differences in degrees of freedom, arm configuration, sensing, and compute.

Technology and Specifications

Important note on specifications:

The R1 name is used across multiple variants (Pro / standard / Lite), and published specs can differ by configuration and distributor. The figures below summarize commonly cited specifications from official documentation and widely referenced third-party spec listings.

Core workspace and kinematics

Official documentation highlights the R1’s work envelope as:

Vertical operating range: up to ~2 m

Horizontal operating radius: ~700 mm

This human-scale workspace is a defining feature: it allows the robot to interact with benches, carts, shelves, and floor-level objects with fewer base repositioning steps.

Arms, torso, and degrees of freedom

In the official product overview, the R1 is equipped with:

Two Galaxea A1 robot arms (commonly described as 6-DoF each)

A 4-DoF torso

Third-party listings for the R1 Pro commonly report a 26-DoF embodiment (overall), reflecting the sum of torso, dual arms, and other articulated joints depending on the exact build.

Mobility: vector steering / omnidirectional drive

The official overview describes a three-wheel steering vector chassis, emphasizing maneuverability in indoor operational environments.
In research describing the R1 Lite platform, the base is characterized as a vector-drive omnidirectional base, which is particularly useful for tight-space repositioning during manipulation tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you ship from?

Robotopian operates fulfillment capabilities in Shenzhen, China and Santa Clara, California. Depending on the product, inventory condition, production arrangement, and destination, orders may ship from different locations.

At this time, most newly manufactured robot orders ship primarily from Shenzhen, China. Selected inventory may also ship from Santa Clara when available.

Why are many orders shipped from China?

Most robotic products today still rely heavily on China-based supply chains. Many models enter sourcing, production scheduling, or manufacturing only after an order is placed.

By working directly with the China supply chain and our Shenzhen fulfillment system, Robotopian can coordinate procurement, warehouse handling, international transportation, and cross-border delivery more efficiently. In many cases, this also helps us provide a clearer cost structure and a more competitive fulfillment model.

In other words, shipping directly from China does not necessarily make the process more complicated. In many cases, it is actually a more direct and efficient way to fulfill specialized robotics orders.

Which countries do you ship to?

Robotopian ships to a broad range of major countries and regions worldwide. Actual destination availability may vary depending on the product type, local import regulations, shipping conditions, and fulfillment feasibility.

Common destinations may include, but are not limited to:

United States

Canada

United Kingdom

Germany

France

Netherlands

Australia

New Zealand

Singapore

Japan

If your country or region is not shown at checkout, please contact the Robotopian team and we will evaluate a suitable shipping option for you.

Does your pricing include duties, taxes, and shipping costs?

Where applicable, Robotopian aims to include standard cross-border fulfillment costs in the quoted order total and to make the major cost components clear before checkout.

This may include:
product price
international shipping
standard customs clearance handling
applicable import duties and taxes
last-mile delivery
standard residential or remote-area surcharges
applicable special transportation surcharges

Why was my order split into multiple packages?

In some cases, one order may be split into multiple parcels or shipped from different fulfillment locations.

This may happen because:
the main unit and accessories become ready at different times
different items are fulfilled from different warehouses
some items are ready earlier and can ship first
different products require different shipping arrangements

If split shipment occurs, Robotopian will make reasonable efforts to share the relevant shipping information.

Do I need to handle customs clearance myself?

In most cases, no.

For standard cross-border orders, Robotopian will usually coordinate shipping, customs, and delivery arrangements to reduce complexity for the customer.

In some cases, local customs authorities, delivery agents, or carriers may contact the recipient directly to verify delivery information, recipient identity, or local clearance requirements. If that happens, you may contact the Robotopian team and we will assist.

What should I do if I am asked to pay an extra charge?

If you are asked to pay a charge that you believe should already have been included in your quoted order total, please contact the Robotopian team promptly.

We will review the quotation, payment record, shipping arrangement, and actual situation. If the charge is confirmed to fall within the covered standard scope, Robotopian will assist in resolving the issue.

What should I do if my package is lost, damaged, or shows a delivery exception?

If your order experiences any of the following:

lost package
obvious package damage
delivery exception
delivery status inconsistent with the actual receipt of goods

please contact the Robotopian team within 72 hours. We will assist, based on the actual case, in following up with the carrier, customs intermediary, or related service providers.

Do you offer additional shipping insurance or shipment protection?

For certain eligible orders, Robotopian may be able to provide additional shipping protection or commercial insurance options upon request.

Because eligibility depends on the product, destination, and shipping method, availability, structure, and pricing will need to be confirmed case by case.

If you discover a delivery issue, missing goods, or another shipping-related problem after receipt, please contact the Robotopian team within 72 hours so we can assist promptly.

How long will it take before my order ships?

That depends on the type of product you ordered.

In-stock items: usually move into warehouse processing and dispatch shortly after payment is confirmed.

Pre-order items: dispatch timing depends on the brand’s supply schedule and incoming availability.

Made-to-order / production-scheduled items: these typically go through sourcing, production, or scheduling first. From confirmed payment to the point when the order is ready for dispatch from Shenzhen, the estimated lead time is usually 10–30 days.

For U.S. orders that have completed preparation and shipped from Shenzhen, the estimated transit time is typically 3–7 business days. Delivery timing for other destinations will vary.

Why hasn’t my tracking updated right after shipment?

This is common in international shipping.

After an order is packed and assigned for shipment, tracking may not update immediately until the parcel is scanned by the first carrier, handed through the airport process, or entered into the destination country’s local carrier network.

If your tracking does not change during the first few days after shipment, that is usually normal and does not necessarily mean the parcel is not moving.

Will I receive a tracking number after shipment?

Yes. Once the order is officially dispatched from Shenzhen or the applicable fulfillment location, Robotopian will provide a tracking number so you can follow the shipment progress.

Depending on the shipping route, some orders may show limited tracking information during the early stages of international transit. Tracking details usually become more complete as the shipment moves through later carrier networks.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, but the rules depend on the order stage.

Orders may be cancelled free of charge within 24 hours of placement.

If the order has already entered sourcing, production, scheduling, or manufacturing, Robotopian will refund 60% of the amount paid and retain 40% as a cancellation fee. This helps cover supplier deposits, scheduling allocation, and related processing costs.

Whether the order has entered one of these stages will be determined based on Robotopian’s internal system records and supply chain confirmation.

Can I change my shipping address?

Yes, but please contact us as early as possible.

You may request an address change before the order is officially dispatched. If the order has already shipped, additional charges caused by rerouting, address changes, or shipment interception may apply and will generally be the customer’s responsibility.

What happens if I refuse delivery?

If an order has already shipped and the customer refuses delivery, the parcel will usually be returned. Any return shipping charges, return handling fees, and other incurred costs will generally be the responsibility of the customer.

If you have concerns about the order, it is best to contact the Robotopian team before the shipment is dispatched.
