Astribot T1 Showcased at IROS 2026 with Diverse Applications in Logistics and Service

On October 3, 2026, Astribot showcased its humanoid robot, Astribot T1, at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, USA, releasing a video summarizing its applications. The video highlights three key use cases: Efficient Training, Rapid Deployment, and Long-Horizon Execution.

These applications demonstrate the robot's capabilities in logistics sorting, where it can collect necessary data in just 10 hours, and in service tasks like autonomously serving popcorn while engaging in voice interaction. The robot's base model, Lumo-2, is designed for high-speed ball catching, showcasing its advanced World Action Model for accurate predictions.

The T1 is priced starting at $18,000, and the company emphasizes its vision of "AI That Grows by Doing." No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

Editor's Note

The demonstration of the Astribot T1 at IROS 2026 underscores the growing trend of humanoid robots in various sectors, including logistics and customer service. As companies increasingly adopt such technologies, the focus on efficient deployment and real-world applications will be crucial for competitive advantage in the robotics market.
