CATL and Galbot have officially signed a global strategic cooperation agreement. The partnership will focus on upgrading smart manufacturing lines, accelerating the global expansion and large-scale application of AI humanoid robots, and jointly developing the world's first aftermarket service standard for AI humanoid robots.

50 kg-Class Payload: Designed for Hazardous, Repetitive and Physically Demanding Manufacturing Tasks

Central to the collaboration is Galbot S1, a heavy-duty humanoid robot developed by Galbot. It is the world's first AI humanoid robot  in regular operation that is powered by CATL batteries.

Core Features: Dual-arm 50 kg payload capacity, vision-only centimeter-level precision positioning, and 360° omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. Additionally, the CATL battery cells feature cathodes with particle-size grading technology, low-lithium-consumption anodes, and a bionic self-healing electrolyte, achieving a cell failure rate at the parts per billion (PPB) level. This delivers up to 8 hours of continuous operation while ensuring extended service life and a high level of safety for production line operations.

Production Applications: Galbot S1 has been deployed on CATL’s intelligent production lines, performing extended autonomous operations in module and battery pack manufacturing. It will directly replace human workers in high-intensity processes such as material handling and picking, significantly reducing physical workload for shop floor workers.

Extending CATL's After-Sales Network to Humanoid Robots

CATL's NING Service Network, with its well-established service system covering battery inspection, maintenance, and recycling, will officially extend its scope from power batteries and energy storage systems to AI humanoid robots. Through this initiative, the company will also establish the world's first aftermarket service standard for AI humanoid robots.
