Technical approach

As reported

Body

Wheels plus two arms

A human-like upper body on a wheeled base: cheaper, steadier and longer-running than legs, and enough for flat factories, labs and stores.

Data

Robots that collect training data

R1 robots sold to labs and companies record demonstrations; Galaxea's Open-World Dataset was gathered in real homes and workplaces.

Model

G0: planner plus doer

G0 pairs a vision-language model that breaks a task into steps with an action model that turns each step into precise arm motions.
