Galileo GH1 Humanoid Robot

A humanoid is only as capable as its joints. The Galileo GH1 has 31 of them. Each arm has seven degrees of freedom, the same count as a human arm from shoulder to wrist, so the hand can approach an object from many angles instead of along one fixed path. The waist has three degrees of freedom of its own, so the robot can turn, lean and bend at the torso to reach without stepping. Each leg has six, and the head has two. The robot stands 155 cm tall and weighs 45 kg. The GH1 is the bipedal humanoid from Galileo (GalileoTime), a company best known for its industrial quadrupeds. It brings the same in-house motor and motion-control work to a full human-shaped body for embodied AI research, industrial tasks and commercial service.

Background and Manufacturer

Galileo (Tianjin) Technology develops embodied intelligence robots and builds its core components in-house, including joint motors and motion-control algorithms. Its catalog is led by legged industrial platforms: the C1, E1 and S1 quadruped series, the explosion-protected EX-1 and the Galileo X ground mobility system. Two human-form robots sit alongside them. The SH1 is a dual-arm robot on a wheeled base. The GH1 is Galileo's fully bipedal humanoid, offered in consumer and industrial grades. It runs on Galileo's own embodied intelligence software platform, which handles perception, task planning, real-time decisions and integration with large AI models.

Design and Engineering

Joint layout

The GH1's degrees of freedom are spread across the whole body:

• Arms: 7 per arm, giving redundant reach so the robot can work around obstacles and change its approach angle.
• Waist: 3, so the torso can rotate, bend and tilt, which widens the reach of both arms.
• Legs: 6 per leg, for full walking, turning and balance control.
• Head and neck: 2, so the robot can aim its gaze and camera at a task.

Galileo drives these joints with its own high-torque-density motors. The structure is aluminum alloy and industrial plastic, which keeps the full-size body at 45 kg.

Body proportions

The robot measures 500 × 255 × 1,550 mm. Its thigh is 350 mm, its calf 412 mm and each arm 615 mm. Those proportions are close to an adult's, so the robot can reach counters, shelves, handles and controls designed for people without changing the workspace.

Mobility

The GH1 walks, turns, bends and balances dynamically. Galileo lists a top movement speed of 4 m/s.

Perception and computing

A high-precision depth camera gives the robot 3D awareness of its surroundings. Processing runs on an onboard edge computing unit, so perception and control don't depend on a network link. The robot supports voice and face interaction, which makes it suitable for front-of-house and public-facing roles as well as lab work.

Hands

Dexterous hands are optional. Buyers can specify an end effector to match the work, from research grasping to handling objects in service settings.

Power

A quick-release 10 Ah battery (444 Wh) recharges in about two hours. A spare battery can be swapped in so the robot keeps working while the first one charges. Autonomous charging is available as an option.

Technical Specifications

Who It Is For

• Universities and AI labs studying locomotion, whole-body control, imitation learning and embodied AI, where a 31-DoF body with 7-DoF arms gives researchers room to work.
• Industrial innovation teams testing humanoids for tasks in factories and warehouses that were laid out for human workers.
• Commercial operators in retail, hospitality, exhibitions and visitor centers who need a robot that can greet, guide and talk with people.
• Educational institutions teaching robotics, mechatronics and AI with a full-size platform.
• Integrators building custom applications on Galileo's embodied intelligence platform.

Applications

Embodied AI research: Collecting demonstration data and training policies for reaching, grasping and whole-body motion.

Manipulation development: Using the 7-DoF arms, 3-DoF waist and optional dexterous hands to develop picking, placing, sorting and tool-use skills.

Front-of-house service: Greeting, guiding and answering visitors through voice and face interaction in lobbies, showrooms and events.

Industrial pilots: Trialing humanoid labor at workstations, carts and shelving built for people.

Teaching and demonstration: Hands-on robotics education that covers mechanics, control, perception and AI on one platform.

Support: From First Inquiry to Long-Term Service

Before you buy: Support starts with the use case. That means research or deployment, the manipulation required, whether dexterous hands are needed, and the software environment the robot must work with. The review sets the configuration, the grade (consumer or industrial) and any optional autonomous charging before a quote is issued.

Setup and commissioning: The GH1 ships with manufacturer documentation. First start covers battery installation and charging, joint calibration, balance and walking checks, network setup and verifying the depth camera and interaction features.

Training: Operators learn safe start-up, fall prevention, use of a support frame or gantry during early trials, battery swaps and daily checks. Developers learn the embodied intelligence platform, the onboard computing and how to integrate data and models.

Deployment: Deployment support covers mapping the robot's workspace, programming tasks, configuring interaction for service roles, and setting up battery rotation for longer sessions.

Ongoing service: The GH1 carries a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Technical help, software updates, replacement batteries and spare parts stay available for the life of the robot.

Pricing and Availability

The Galileo GH1 is sold on quotation. The final cost depends on the grade, the choice of dexterous hands, spare batteries, autonomous charging, the scope of training and integration, the delivery destination and import duties. Every unit is sourced through the manufacturer's official channels and comes with full manufacturer warranty, documentation and technical support.
