What Galbot builds
Galbot was founded in 2023 and works on embodied AI: robots that combine a physical body with AI models for seeing, grasping and handling objects. Its best-known platform is the G1, a wheeled robot with two arms designed to pick, restock and carry goods. Galbot also produces the S1, a heavier-duty platform, and develops its own AI models for manipulation and whole-body control.
Galbot’s early commercial work has centred on retail and pharmacy, where a robot needs to find and pick many different products from ordinary shelving. The company has also announced industrial manufacturing work with partners.
Where Galbot platforms may fit in New Zealand
The clearest fit is indoor work on flat floors that involves reaching, picking and carrying a varied range of items. For a New Zealand retailer, that could mean restocking shelves after close, picking online orders from a store’s back room, or moving stock between receiving and the shop floor. In distribution centres and factories, it could mean handling goods between shelving, totes and packing points, or parts and kits at a station.
Wheeled humanoids are a new category, so we check the site closely. Before recommending one, we look at shelving heights and depths, packaging types, aisle widths, network coverage and how often the product range changes. We also look at who works nearby, because the robot becomes part of the risks you manage under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and your workers should be involved in that assessment. A small, well-defined first deployment with agreed measures is usually the sensible starting point.
How Robotx supplies and supports Galbot
Robotx runs each engagement from consultation to ongoing support. After a site assessment, we set out a recommendation and scope in a written proposal. If you proceed, we supply the platform, configure it for your site and tasks, train your staff and hand over. After handover, Robotx remains responsible for technical support, servicing, parts and warranty claims. Your team operates the robot day to day; Robotx supports it.

Who supplies Galbot robots in New Zealand?
Robotx supplies Galbot platforms to enterprise and commercial customers in New Zealand. Before recommending one, we look at the items to be handled, the shelving and the floor, and whether a wheeled two-arm robot is the right tool. If it is, Robotx manages supply, set-up, training and support. If another platform fits better, we will say so.
What is a wheeled humanoid robot?
A wheeled humanoid has a human-like upper body, usually two arms, a torso and a camera head, mounted on a wheeled base instead of legs. Wheels are stable and efficient on flat indoor floors, which suits shops, pharmacies and warehouses. The trade-off is that stairs, steps and rough ground are out of scope.
Is Galbot suited to New Zealand retail and pharmacy operations?
It can be, but it needs checking site by site. Galbot's publicised retail deployments have been overseas, and New Zealand stores differ in shelving, packaging and product range. Pharmacies here operate under a licence issued under the Medicines Act 1981, with a pharmacist supervising, so we assess the task with you and your compliance lead before recommending a deployment.
Do you provide service and parts for Galbot robots in New Zealand?
Yes, for the Galbot platforms Robotx supplies. Robotx is your first point of contact for faults, servicing and parts, and we lodge and manage warranty claims with Galbot on your behalf. Because Galbot is a young company and its platforms are new to this region, support and parts arrangements are discussed during scoping, before you commit.
How much does a Galbot robot cost?
It depends on the platform, its configuration, the tasks it is set up for and the support terms you choose. Because those vary so much between sites, there is no standard price list. Once we understand the task and the site, you receive a written proposal with equipment, deployment, training and support itemised for your finance and procurement teams.
