An R1 Pro and R1 Lite variant offer differing degrees of freedom and compute configurations. Products are priced between approximately $44,500 and $64,000.
Galagea integrates vision-language-action models and diffusion policies to enable natural-language-prompted robot control. The company serves more than 40 institutional and commercial clients including Huawei Cloud, Volkswagen, Haier, Samsung, ByteDance, Physical Intelligence, Stanford University, and MIT.
By mid-2026, Galaxea had raised cumulative funding of approximately $210 million, achieving a valuation near 10 billion yuan (unicorn status). Key investors include Capital Today, Meituan Long-Z Investments, Ant Group, IDG Capital, and Baidu Ventures. The workforce was projected to grow from approximately 120 to 200 employees through year-end 2025.
