Editorial summaries

Astribot S1

The Astribot S1, from China's Astribot (Shenzhen), is a research humanoid that drew wide attention for fluid bimanual manipulation demonstrations (folding clothes, pouring, handling objects). There is no verified consumer price or delivery date on record, and the manipulation footage is demonstration material, not evidence of verified autonomous deployment. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research and applies verified-vs-claimed discipline: the demos are impressive claims; verified deployment and pricing are absent.

Booster T1

The Booster T1, from China's Booster Robotics, is a research and developer humanoid prominent in the wave of Chinese humanoids shown at CES 2026. There is no verified consumer price or delivery date on record in DEPLOY's registry. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research and applies verified-vs-claimed discipline: commercial-ramping marketing and demonstrations are common across this cohort, but third-party verified deployment is the bar, and it is not yet met here.
