Laborer M1 (劳动者 M1)
Glroad bills the Laborer M1 as the industry's first humanoid in the 50 kg payload class, and the numbers back the ambition: 187 cm tall, 86 kg heavy, 27 degrees of freedom driven by high-dynamic integrated joints with a 430 N·m peak, dual encoders and built-in thermal management.

Glroad bills the Laborer M1 as the industry's first humanoid in the 50 kg payload class, and the numbers back the ambition: 187 cm tall, 86 kg heavy, 27 degrees of freedom driven by high-dynamic integrated joints with a 430 N·m peak, dual encoders and built-in thermal management.
The 50 kg figure applies to both arms working together; a single-arm value is not given, and the datasheet entry of one degree of freedom per arm appears to be a display error. Walking speed exceeds 1.2 m/s, and a 22 Ah battery of unstated voltage provides about two hours. Safety features include hardware redundancy, fault self-diagnosis and emergency braking within milliseconds.
The Wuhan company showed the M1 at a supply-chain expo in July 2025; series production has not been confirmed, so the status remains prototype. The intended job is heavy material handling on factory floors, which separates it from its smaller sibling Laborer C1, a guide robot. Within the catalogue it competes for the same industrial niche as Kepler Forerunner K2.
