Rex G1
AI ChatLast updated:
REX G1 is the first robot from embodied-AI company RoboScience, launched on August 17, 2026 as a wheeled humanoid 'productivity partner' for logistics, factories, retail and eventually homes. A large body carries the power system, while a small head unit with an e-ink screen handles interaction. It has 22 degrees of freedom, a lifting mechanism that lets it reach from 0.1 to 2.0 metres, hot-swappable batteries and 2,070 TFLOPS of onboard compute, and it runs RoboScience's Visics VLOA model.
Quick Overview & Key Facts
Rex G1 is a humanoid robot made by RoboScience in China, launched in 2026 and built for picking and placing in narrow warehouse aisles and dense shelving, factory material handling, and retail dark-store replenishment and. Its estimated price is Approx. $40,000 – $90,000 per unit. Featured in “Humanoid Robots With Swappable Batteries in 2026: Which Can Work Around the Clock?”.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is Rex G1, and what problem is it designed to solve?
REX G1 is a wheeled humanoid robot from RoboScience, built to do complete tasks in real warehouses and factories rather than a single fixed step. It combines moving and manipulating in one machine so it can work in tight spaces where other robots cannot.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of Rex G1?
Its body is narrow and can change length and height, with a lifting mechanism, two seven-joint arms and an omnidirectional base. It can move, lift and grab at the same time, holds its hand steady in tight spaces, swaps batteries in seconds and carries a very large amount of onboard compute.
Q3. Who is Rex G1 built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
It is aimed at logistics and warehousing, factories, retail dark stores and, in time, home services, especially where aisles are narrow and shelves are tall.
Q4. Is Rex G1 a commercial product or still a research prototype?
REX G1 is presented as a product for real production rather than a research prototype, but it is RoboScience's first robot and early deployments are likely to be pilots with customers.
Q5. Is Rex G1 currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
RoboScience has not published a price or delivery schedule. Interested buyers would contact the company for a quotation.
Q6. How does Rex G1 actually work in real-world environments?
The robot sees with 360-degree stereo vision and adds its own lighting for dark shelves. Its Visics model first imagines how objects will move, then converts that plan into arm, lift and wheel commands, all computed on the robot itself.
Q7. When was Rex G1 announced or officially launched?
RoboScience launched REX G1 on August 17, 2026, as its first robot.
Q8. How is Rex G1 different from other robots in the same category?
Most wheeled humanoids are wide and fixed-height. REX G1 is deliberately narrow and adjustable so it can enter very tight aisles and still reach every shelf level, and it pairs that body with a model that generalizes across objects and tasks.
Q9. Does Rex G1 require additional development or customization after purchase?
Usually yes. Customers will likely need task and site setup, but RoboScience says the robot is meant to enter existing environments without changing shelving, markers or lighting.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for Rex G1?
RoboScience aims to extend REX G1 from logistics into flexible manufacturing, retail front warehouses and eventually home services, while improving its Visics model and, over time, applying it to other robot bodies.
