Astribot

Most humanoid companies lead with legs. Astribot led with hands. The S1 pairs two 7-degree-of-freedom arms with fine force control on a stable wheeled base - a deliberate design choice that spends the robot's energy and compute budget on manipulation rather than balance. The demonstration videos that made the S1 famous in 2024 showed why: fluid, human-speed handling of everyday objects, with Astribot quoting peak end-effector speeds up to 10 meters per second.

For buyers, the S1 is a working research and deployment platform rather than a spectacle. It ships with a library of manipulation primitives, learns new tasks through teleoperated demonstrations and imitation learning, and exposes an open Python SDK with ROS 2 integration. Onboard, dual NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin modules split perception and motion control - enough compute to run modern vision-language-action models in real time, which is precisely the workload labs are buying humanoids for.

We carry the Astribot S1, the company's dual-arm humanoid for research groups, universities, and advanced automation teams. An S1 purchase is a capital acquisition - our team supports quoting, institutional purchase orders, freight logistics, and deployment planning.

The sensor stack is built for manipulation research: stereo RGB cameras for hand-eye coordination on each arm, a forward-facing depth camera in the head, force-torque sensing at the wrists, and a microphone array for voice interaction - the ingredients for visual servoing, force-feedback tasks, and voice-commanded workflows without additional hardware.
