R1 PRO

The R1 Pro from Galaxea Dynamics represents a cutting-edge wheeled dual-arm humanoid robot platform optimized for embodied AI research, industrial R&D, and deployment in logistics and warehouse environments. Measuring 170 cm in height and 675 mm in width, with a weight of 96 kg including battery, the robot boasts 26 degrees of freedom distributed across its components: a 6-DOF omnidirectional mecanum-wheeled chassis capable of Ackerman steering, translation, and spinning at speeds up to 1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h); a 4-DOF torso providing lift, tilt, swivel (yaw ±170°, pitch ±100°), and knee adjustments (W1: 0°~100°, W2: -154°~145°) with rated torque of 108 Nm (max 304 Nm); and dual 7-DOF Galaxea A2 arms extending 680 mm (716 mm horizontal operating radius, 861 mm with gripper) equipped with force-controlled Galaxea G1 parallel grippers. Each arm supports a rated payload of 3.5 kg at 0.5-0.6 m (max 5 kg), maximum end-effector velocity of 7.5 m/s, acceleration of 10 m/s², and 0.5 mm repeat positioning accuracy, powered by servo motors with high-precision harmonic and planetary drives. At its core, the R1 Pro leverages NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute in single (200 TOPS, 8-core CPU @2.2 GHz, 32 GB LPDDR5, 1 TB SSD) or dual SOC configurations (550 TOPS, dual CPUs/memory), enabling robust onboard AI processing with 8x GMSL camera interfaces, 4-6x Gigabit Ethernet (M12), WiFi AP mode, USB, and HDMI connectivity. The operating system is Linux-based ROS2, facilitating low-latency (<200 ms end-to-end) glass-to-action performance, VR/isomorphic teleoperation, and autonomous navigation modules including SLAM mapping, localization, path planning, and control. Perception is handled by a multi-modal sensor suite: a head-mounted binocular RGB camera (1920x1080@30fps, 110°H x 70°V FOV); five chassis monocular cameras (1920x1080@30fps, 118°H FOV); optional dual wrist monocular depth cameras (1280x720@30fps RGB, 87°H FOV, 0.2-3 m depth); and standard 360° LiDAR (905 nm laser, 360°H x 59°V FOV, 0.1 m blind zone, built-in IMU). Ingress protection is IP20, with safety features like emergency stop and human-safe operation. Power is supplied by a 48V 35 Ah lithium-ion battery (1680 Wh), offering ~3 hours runtime, managed by BMS, with low-noise dual air cooling (82 m³/min flow) for thermal stability. Structural materials include aluminum frames and composite panels. Architecturally, the R1 Pro emphasizes extensibility for AI scaling, supporting external LLM/cloud integration and simulation in Isaac Sim. Real-world deployments highlight its role in advancing embodied intelligence: Stanford's BEHAVIOR Robot Suite (2025) utilized the R1 series for whole-body mobile manipulation benchmarks in household tasks, emphasizing bimanual coordination; Galaxea's Open-World Dataset (500+ hours, arXiv:2509.00576) collected diverse real-world behaviors for training the G0 Dual-System VLA model, topping Hugging Face robotics data downloads; it powers the NeurIPS 2025 BEHAVIOR Challenge for standardized evaluation; and demos showcase warehouse pick-place, load challenges (1-minute stacking), and precise industrial tasks. While primarily research-oriented, early industrial pilots in automation and data collection underscore its transition toward scalable deployments, bridging simulation-to-real gaps via high-fidelity hardware and open-source toolchains.
