PanDaily reports that, according to QbitAI, Galbot has set three price points for its Galbot ET1: 79,000 yuan for Standard, 139,000 yuan for Pro, and 179,000 yuan for Flagship. The figures give a clear published range for Galbot’s 1.25-meter bipedal humanoid, but they are not an official confirmation from the company’s product page. Galbot’s working ET1 page includes a JD.com Buy Now link without displaying those prices in its navigated text, so the table should be read as reported pricing rather than a company-confirmed final offer.
That distinction matters because the published tiers point to differing configurations, while the headline amounts alone do not settle what arrives with each unit. Humanoids Daily independently repeated the same 79,000-, 139,000-, and 179,000-yuan table, also tracing it through PanDaily to QbitAI. Its account describes Standard as an entry configuration centered on performance and conversation, Pro as adding advertised interactive-learning capability and additional compute, and Flagship as extending compute and development or customization options. Those are reported and advertised distinctions, not independently tested measures of capability.
Galbot ET1’s Three Reported Prices Need a Configuration Check
The tier labels matter because Galbot’s official ET1 page makes several hardware differences explicit. It lists 26 degrees of freedom for Standard. Pro and Flagship are listed with 26 plus 12 degrees of freedom when equipped with dexterous hands. Humanoids Daily says those hands are an option on the two upper tiers, a caveat that prevents a simple assumption that a 139,000- or 179,000-yuan headline figure includes them. The reported price ladder therefore needs to be considered alongside configuration choices rather than as three directly equivalent robot packages.
Galbot’s own specifications also separate the higher tiers by stated onboard compute. The company lists Orin Nano at 40 TOPS for Pro and NX at 100 TOPS for Flagship. Humanoids Daily additionally identifies RK3588 and RDK X5 processors among the disclosed platform hardware. The official page gives the product line a standing height of 1,250 millimeters and a battery-included weight of 32 kilograms. The published figures provide an ET1 physical reference, but the supplied sources do not break them out by tier; the listed degrees of freedom and compute distinguish the upper configurations.
The available material does not establish a delivered price, warranty, shipping date, buyer eligibility, or configuration-by-configuration bill of materials. It also does not show that customers receive dexterous hands as standard equipment at either upper-tier amount. This is a practical limit on any comparison of the three figures. A reported entry point of 79,000 yuan describes a price claim, whereas a purchaser’s eventual system definition would depend on details that the supplied reporting does not specify.
Official ET1 Specifications Frame Galbot’s Advertised Capabilities
On its official ET1 product page, Galbot describes a 100M-scale Transformer motion foundation model. The company says the system supports dynamic reasoning and action planning and that it can learn new movement skills through direct human interaction without motion capture or motion videos. These are company descriptions of the ET1’s intended learning and control approach, rather than independent findings on how consistently the robot completes unfamiliar work.
Galbot’s advertised use scenarios are similarly focused on interaction and performance. Its product page lists storefront greeting, theme-park interaction, live dance performance, and live comedy performance. Humanoids Daily describes the ET1 as positioned for store greetings, theme parks, and stage shows. The alignment between those descriptions helps explain why the reported Standard configuration is characterized around performance and conversation, while higher tiers are associated with extra compute, interactive-learning claims, and more development latitude.
The official public record also establishes that Galbot is taking preorders, though it does not settle the scope of those orders. A Galbot WeChat post dated September 2, 2026, carries a headline saying that the Galaxy Star Kid native-agent robot is actively accepting preorders. The company uses 银河星仔 alongside Galbot ET1 on its product materials. The post does not provide a price, order total, delivery timetable, fulfillment status, or warranty information. It is evidence of an official preorder announcement, not evidence of sales volume or completed transactions.
The separation between specifications, company claims, and reported price information is particularly important for a product aimed at public-facing activity. A 32-kilogram robot with a 1,250-millimeter standing height and an advertised motion model may be designed for greetings or a stage appearance, but those details do not independently establish reliability in every venue or task. The three-tier report gives readers a purchase-framework claim; Galbot’s page defines some stated technical attributes; neither substitutes for operational testing. That same need to distinguish a public rollout from established deployment is relevant to EastFrontier’s earlier look at Galbot’s humanoid retail path through Hong Kong.
China Daily’s Conference Account Adds a Demonstration Record
China Daily’s August 21 account adds independently reported launch context. It reported that Galbot introduced ET1 as its first bipedal humanoid at the 2026 World Robot Conference, ahead of an August 22 opening-performance role at the World Humanoid Robot Games. The article also reported that ET1 was training to play tennis. Galbot chief technology officer Wang He explained that tennis requires whole-body balance, precise wrist movement, and accurate racket-to-ball contact, framing the demonstration around coordinated motion rather than a narrow single-joint task.
China Daily also reported exhibition demonstrations in which ET1 put objects away, washed and hung clothes, and folded clothes on a bed. Each is a reported conference demonstration, not a finding that the machine is generally reliable in homes or commercially available for household work. The same report described AstraBrain-Agent as Galbot’s agent architecture for real-time multimodal interaction and motion control, saying it continuously observes its surroundings, understands spoken instructions, and dynamically plans actions. That description tracks with Galbot’s product-page claims about planning and interaction-based skill learning, while remaining a company architecture description reported by China Daily.
For the price story, the conference record helps identify the applications Galbot is presenting around ET1 without stretching those presentations into performance guarantees. Performance, public interaction, and household demonstrations each require different forms of motion and perception. Galbot’s reported Standard, Pro, and Flagship ladder places a published price structure beside these demonstrations, but the available facts do not quantify task success, endurance, safety, or real-world uptime. The higher published figures coincide with more advertised compute and configuration options; they do not provide an independent benchmark.
That restraint is useful as China’s humanoid field brings more public trials into view. A recent EastFrontier article, Aishida’s Humanoid Retail Trial Moves Into a Three-Day Public Test, identifies another retail-facing trial in the archive. In Galbot’s case, the immediate facts are narrower: a company with a first bipedal humanoid shown at the 2026 World Robot Conference, an official preorder announcement, published physical and compute specifications, and a three-level price table reported through QbitAI by PanDaily. Keeping those categories separate preserves what the information can, and cannot, show.
