Laborer M1

Laborer M1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid built for heavy physical work by Glroad, a Wuhan company that began in power-grid monitoring and precision motion control. Glroad calls it the first 50 kg-class heavy-load humanoid in its industry: its two arms can carry about 50 kg together, and it keeps walking steadily while adjusting its posture as the load shifts. The robot stands about 187 cm tall and weighs about 86 kg, and listings give it a walking speed of about 4 km/h and about 2 hours per charge. Its arms have seven joints each and its integrated joints are described as delivering high torque in short bursts, with a peak of about 430 N·m and dual encoders, while cushioning impacts and managing heat. A depth camera in the head maps surroundings and recognises targets. Hardware-level safety redundancy, fault self-diagnosis and millisecond emergency braking are described as safeguards. Glroad aims it at industrial heavy-load handling and custom jobs across industries, as the heavy-duty member of its Laborer family alongside the C1 guide humanoid.
