Galaxea Dynamics introduced the wheeled robot NEXO
English translation from Unibot. Source published 2026-09-07.
Galaxea Dynamics presented the wheeled humanoid robot NEXO. The new product is focused on commercial services, logistics and production tasks.
Design and technical characteristics
NEXO is 168 cm tall and weighs 85 kg. Instead of legs, a compact wheelbase is installed, which allows you to reach speeds of up to 5 km/h. This design combines mobile positioning with two-handed manipulation.
The robot is equipped with 30 degrees of freedom, of which 12 are on the hands. This makes it possible to simultaneously interact with physical objects with both manipulators. Force sensors throughout the body help regulate contact as you perform tasks.
NEXO is capable of lifting loads up to 20 kg. The battery life reaches eight hours on a single charge, which is enough for long shifts in structured indoor spaces.
The computing power is provided by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin with a performance of 200 TOPS. For artificial intelligence - built-in Galaxea Models.
According to the Humanoid Guide Skill Score, the robot scores 3 out of 10. Navigation is rated 1 out of 5, manipulation - 2 out of 5. The indicators are modest, but this is an early stage of the platform’s development.
Application scenarios
The main directions for NEXO are sorting goods and assembling products. Two arms and a force control system provide precise contact, coordinated reach, and repeatable object placement.
In logistics, sorting links incoming materials, work cells, and shipping processes. In production, a robot can take over routine operations where the coordinated work of two manipulators is important.
The wheeled platform allows movement between zones without a stationary installation at each point. The embedded NVIDIA processor and Galaxea models provide the software and hardware foundation for commercial applications. However, current skill assessments show that the system will still be refined in navigation and manipulation.
Status and cost
NEXO is listed as a prototype. This is the latest generation of Galaxea Dynamics wheeled dual-arm systems. The company is based in China and presented the robot at the World Robotics Conference in Beijing in 2026.
Listed price: $90,000. Purchase details are available upon request.
NEXO is a practical branch of humanoid robotics. The focus is on commercial indoor deployments: wheelbase, two arms, force sensors and on-board computing. The developers do not position it as a mature system - a score of 3 honestly reflects the status of the platform in development.
The robot fits into the general trend of implementing embodied AI in logistics, production and service. Companies are looking at machines that can move around objects and participate in physical work processes.
