Astribot has introduced its T1 humanoid robot to the North American market, with a starting price of $18,000. The robot is being showcased at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, featuring a cable-driven architecture and in-house developed Lumo AI models. This platform is designed for researchers and developers to transform AI capabilities into practical physical tasks.
The significance of the T1 lies in its integrated approach, combining AI, software, and hardware design under the concept of 'Design for AI.' Standing at approximately 1.55 meters and weighing around 66 kg, the T1 is equipped with modular hardware that supports various end effectors and sensors, enhancing its dexterous manipulation abilities.
Looking ahead, the North American launch provides an opportunity for researchers to explore the T1's capabilities in real-world applications. While Astribot has demonstrated the robot's ability to gather items autonomously, the company notes that more complex tasks will require additional training. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
