Galbot alternatives

Galbot is barely three years old, yet few embodied-AI startups anywhere carry its funding weight: founded in Beijing in May 2023, Galaxy Universal Robotics has raised more than RMB 6.96 billion, including a RMB 2.5 billion round in March 2026, to build wheeled humanoid robots around its own foundation models. Deployments centre on China — retail, pharmacies and unattended stores, industrial manufacturing and logistics, healthcare and services — with R&D centres reported in Shenzhen, Suzhou and Hong Kong. Ghost Robotics represents the military branch of mobile robotics: Philadelphia-built quadrupeds for defence and security work, valued at US$400 million when LIG Nex1 took its controlling stake in 2024. Han's Robot offers the listed-company route into Chinese cobots, a Han's Laser spin-out that reached the Hong Kong Main Board in March 2026 under code 1021. Hanwha Robotics gives South Korea a chaebol-backed cobot champion, operating from Seongnam since its 2023 spin-off and selling into the US, Europe and Asia. HD Hyundai Robotics is the heavyweight industrial option, a Daegu maker whose robot operations reach back to 1984 inside the Hyundai group, with a Shanghai subsidiary and a German office. Galbot is the comparison for buyers betting on foundation-model humanoids; the others suit, respectively, defence mobility, group-backed cobot supply from China or Korea, and conventional industrial robot fleets.
