Astribot launches T1 semi-humanoid service robot platform
Astribot launched T1, a lower-priced semi-humanoid service-robot and developer platform positioned around cable-driven dexterity, customizable AI computing and manipulation/VLA scenarios.
Why it matters
T1 makes Astribot's embodied-AI hardware more accessible than the S1-style flagship platform and gives developers a priced service-robot body for manipulation and VLA experimentation.

Evidence notes
- Astribot announced that T1 is available from CNY 89,900, approximately $13,165 in the launch post.
- The company describes T1 as cable-driven with human-like dexterity and customizable AI computing.
- Astribot positions T1 as a multi-scenario service-robot platform for VLA and manipulation applications.
Company context
