Astribot builds wheeled, dual-arm humanoids with cable-driven joints. The S1 (2024-04) is the flagship; the cheaper T1 (155 cm, about 66 kg) opened orders on 2026-05-27 from CNY 89,900 and began shipping on 2026-06-01. Availability outside China has not been announced.
Our verdict
The most affordable serious dual-arm platform from China and well funded, but customer claims rest on one second-hand report and Western availability is unannounced. Watchlist.
