Galaxea AI

Galaxea AI is a Chinese humanoid robotics company developing full-body robots and foundation models for physical AI. Founded with a focus on general-purpose humanoid robots capable of performing complex physical tasks, Galaxea has built both hardware platforms and the underlying vision-language-action (VLA) models that control them. Its robots are designed to operate in unstructured real-world environments, a key differentiator from industrial robots confined to structured factory lines.\n\nGalaxea's primary product is the R1 Pro humanoid robot, a bipedal platform capable of dexterous manipulation and dynamic locomotion. The company also develops the G0 VLA model, a multimodal foundation model trained on robot interaction data that enables generalized task execution. Its approach combines hardware-software co-design with large-scale simulation-to-real transfer, targeting manufacturing, logistics, and service industry deployments where human-shaped bodies provide workflow compatibility advantages.\n\nGalaxea AI raised $291M in a funding round that valued the company at $2.9B, with cumulative funding exceeding $435M as of April 2026. This places Galaxea among the most highly capitalized humanoid robotics startups globally, competing in a sector that has seen massive investment alongside Figure, Physical Intelligence, and Agility Robotics. The company is one of China's most prominent entrants in the global humanoid robot race, positioning itself as both a hardware manufacturer and an AI model company.
