Real-world status
MagicLab's MagicBot Z1 (unveiled July 8, 2025 in Beijing) is a roughly 140-centimeter, 40-kilogram humanoid (24-to-49 degrees of freedom, in-house actuators) marketed for agile motion via side-flip and martial-arts demonstrations; the MagicBot Gen1 has appeared in factory multi-robot demos. DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity with no verified deployments. The verified-vs-claimed point is central: the side-flip and martial-arts clips are choreographed or teleoperated demonstrations, not autonomous task performance, and the factory demos are demonstrations, not verified at-scale deployment.

The verified-vs-claimed core: the side-flip and martial-arts clips are choreographed or teleoperated demonstrations, not autonomous task performance, and the factory demos are demonstrations, not verified at-scale deployment. Aggregator framing of these clips as autonomous overstates the verified state.
