RoboScience

RoboScience is a Beijing company working in what Chinese industry calls “embodied intelligence” — artificial intelligence housed in a physical machine. Neither the founding year nor the size of the team has been confirmed, so we do not state them. What we do know is how the company wants to be seen: as a maker of a production-ready humanoid that rolls on wheels instead of walking, a machine from the humanoid robots category. Its first and so far only model is the REX G1, launched in 2026. Choosing wheels fits a wider trend: legs are expensive, hard to control, and rarely needed in a warehouse or shop with a flat floor. Other players have taken a similar route, as we explain in “Chinese Humanoid Robots”. One caveat matters to the reader: what we know about the company comes in practice from a single press piece on the REX G1, and the manufacturer has not published a detailed funding or headcount history. Valuation, investment rounds and a list of first customers are not publicly confirmed. We therefore treat RoboScience as a young firm with one product rather than an established supplier. If the mass-production plans materialise, we will learn it from later announcements, not from promotional claims.

RoboScience's portfolio currently comes down to a single robot: the REX G1. It is a wheeled humanoid platform with 22 degrees of freedom (DOF), a payload of up to 10 kg and a battery runtime of about 4 hours. The battery can be swapped very quickly — the manufacturer speaks of roughly 5 seconds — which is meant to replace long charging and keep the robot on shift. Onboard compute is quoted at 2,070 TFLOPS, placing the REX G1 among machines that aim to run large models directly on the device; what such models are is explained in “VLA Models: How AI Controls Humanoid Robots in 2026”. The robot has 360-degree panoramic stereo vision with adaptive lighting. The maker points to four areas: order picking in the warehouse, production on the factory floor, shelf replenishment in retail and domestic services. We do not know the robot's height or weight, and there is no official price. How to read such gaps in spec sheets is covered in “How to Read a Robot Datasheet”. The concept of degrees of freedom is described in “Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in Humanoid Robots”. All figures come from the manufacturer and have not been checked in independent tests.

Against its competitors, RoboScience is a niche and very young player. The closest counterparts are wheeled or semi-wheeled platforms such as the Agility Digit 5 from Agility Robotics, which walks on two legs and already has documented warehouse deployments, and machines from Chinese firms including UBTECH Robotics and Galbot. In this group the REX G1 stands out mainly for its short runtime, which the maker offsets with a fast battery swap instead of charging. For comparison, the Galbot G1 is also a wheeled design aimed at similar tasks. Public data that would allow an honest side-by-side is missing, though: prices, independent payload measurements or the number of units in service. The scale of production is unknown, and the claim of readiness for mass production remains exactly that, a claim. The broader market context is covered in “Humanoid Robot Market Forecasts”. RoboScience's standing will therefore depend on whether the company shows real customers and repeatable deployments, not just trade-show demos.

RoboScience has no distributor in Poland or elsewhere in Europe, and the REX G1 is not officially available here. Distribution is for now limited to the Chinese market and early pilot deployments. We also know of no Polish company or institution testing the robot. Readers interested in humanoids under Polish conditions will find a practical cost breakdown in “How Much Does a Humanoid Robot Cost in 2026”, and the effect of such machines on the local labour market is covered in “Humanoid Robots and the Polish Labor Market”. Any import from China would also require checking compliance with EU safety requirements.

RoboScience is an interesting signal from the Chinese market, but for now a promise without verification. The REX G1 has concrete figures on paper, yet there is no price, no independent testing and no availability outside China. Polish readers can watch it, but should not plan a purchase or a budget around it. If you need a robot for a warehouse today, start with the mobile robots category. Until the company shows a price list, independent measurements and first customers outside China, treat every figure from its materials as an announcement.
