- **notes**: [{"label":"Verified","value":"Galaxea AI (Chinese 'Xinghai Tu'; founded Sept 2023, Beijing; CEO Gao Jiyang, ex-Waymo/Momenta, USC PhD; co-founder/co-CSO Xu Huazhe, Tsinghua) builds embodied-AI foundation models + hardware (the R1 wheeled dual-arm humanoid and A1 arm).

R1 is a real, purchasable, documented product."},{"label":"DISAMBIGUATION","value":"Galaxea AI is a DIFFERENT company from Galbot (already in the registry): different founders (Gao Jiyang vs Wang He), products, and backers. The Wire China lists them as separate entries. Do NOT merge."},{"label":"Maturity = research -> early pilot","value":"R1 is a genuinely shippable, priced robot (strongest of the emerging-CN cohort on 'is it real'). But its 40+ named 'clients' (ByteDance, Samsung, Stanford, MIT, etc.) are self-reported/website-sourced R&D/dev-platform buyers, not verified operational deployments. maturityStage=research (with credible early pilot adoption)."},{"label":"Claimed but NOT verified / data error","value":"EXCLUDE the '$29B / CNY200B' valuation - a misread of ~20B yuan (~$2.8B); use the yuan figure. The 40+ clients as operational deployments (website-sourced); the '1,000 R1 units by end of 2025' target; the planned bipedal humanoid (announced, not shipped); 'cleans bathrooms / plays guitar' demos."}]
