The S1 is a humanoid robot powered by AI developed by the company Astribot, a subsidiary of Stardust Intelligence based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, which stands out for its speed and precision, qualities that differentiate it from other AI robots previously seen.
The capabilities of the S1
According to the information provided by Astribot, this humanoid robot has the ability to perform movements at an impressive speed of 10 m/s , in addition to being able to handle loads of up to 10 Kg per arm . Although the comparison with human capabilities may seem daunting, the speed demonstrated by the S1 allows it to perform feats such as removing a tablecloth without knocking over a set of wine glasses. In the following video you can see that and other feats performed by the humanoid.

Beyond its speed, Astribot S1 exhibits extraordinary precision. Its ability to imitate human movements suggests a high potential for learning and adaptation in diverse tasks.
Although only the previous video has been published on the company’s YouTube channel , in which the robot’s body is not shown in its entirety, it is expected that it will soon be seen making more daring movements or simply seeing how it moves.
The launch of the humanoid robot on the market
According to the Astribot website, the company was founded in 2022 in Shenzhen and took a year to develop the S1, which is expected to be available on the market at the end of this year . Stardust Intelligence, its parent company, was created by Lai Jie, a veteran of Tencent Robotics Laboratory, Baidu and Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Astribot, whose name derives from the Latin proverb ‘Ad astra per aspera’ (a journey through hardships to reach stardust), reflects the company’s long-term ambition to drive the development and popularization of AI robotics. .
With the potential to significantly alter the robotics landscape, Astribot’s S1 could play a crucial role in advancing technologies like AI in everyday interaction. This integration promises to enhance existing robotic capabilities and expand the horizons of what these automata can do in home and professional environments.
