# Astribot S1

Manufacturer: [Astribot](/companies/astribot)  
Category: humanoid

## Summary

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.
