03Promised vs delivered

What the maker said, and when

Dated targets the maker set in public, against what has happened since.

  • Said2 July 2025

    G1 in 100 shops across China within 2025

    Galbot said it expected to put the G1 in 100 shops across China within the year. The Robot Report, 2 July 2025

    Still pending

    In December 2025 Galbot said its shops ran in over 30 cities, but it gave no shop count, so we cannot tell if it hit 100.

04Safety and incidents

What has gone wrong

No crashes, recalls or regulator reports in our sources. That is not proof none happened; we add them when a regulator or trusted outlet reports one.

How we placed it

The rule, not an opinion

Stages are worked out by published rules from the dated milestones above. We never rate robots, and no maker can pay to change a stage.

  1. 5

    Regulator-cleared or mass market

    A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

  2. 4

    Paying customers

    Delivered to customers who pay for it, beyond a trial, or a paid service the public can use.

  3. 3

    PilotThis robot

    Working with a named customer in a real setting, as a trial.

    Placed by: Galbot said G1 helps in patient rooms, pharmacies and with directions at Xuanwu Hospital (Dec 2025); Galbot said it has tried out G1 with battery maker CATL, engineering company Bosch, and carmakers Toyota and Hyundai (Dec 2025).

  4. 2

    Pre-orders

    Orders, reservations or deposits taken, with nothing delivered yet.

  5. 1

    Demo only

    Shown in videos, staged events or a factory, with no units working for customers.

What we couldn't confirm. The '30+ cities' figure is Galbot's own claim and refers to its robot-run shops, not confirmed by an outside source. No 2026 G1 deployment news confirmed (web-search budget ran out); Galbot's newsroom shows 2026 items about other products and competitions.
