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.

Galaxea R1

Galaxea Dynamics sells the R1 humanoid directly through its own website, with the R1 Pro listed at $69,999 and the R1 Lite at $39,999. The product page states units are in stock and ship within 15 days. Price and availability are verified from the maker's own product page.
