On June 24, CATL and Galaxy Universal Robots officially signed a global strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will focus on upgrading smart production lines and promote the expansion and large-scale application of embodied intelligent robots in the global market.
The focus of this cooperation is Galbot S1, a heavy-duty humanoid robot developed by Galaxy General Motors. It is the world's first embodied intelligent normal operation robot equipped with CATL batteries. The robot has a load capacity of 50 kilograms with both arms, centimeter-level precise positioning with pure vision, and 360° omnidirectional obstacle avoidance capabilities. The CATL battery cells it carries use particle-grade technology positive electrodes, low lithium consumption anodes and bionic self-repairing electrolytes. The battery cell failure rate reaches the PPB (one part per billion) level, which can ensure that the robot can achieve an ultra-long battery life of 8 hours.
At present, Galbot S1 has officially entered the CATL smart production line, undertaking long-distance autonomous operations such as material handling and sorting in the production of modules and battery packs.
In addition, Ningjia Services, a subsidiary of CATL, will extend its original battery testing, maintenance, recycling and other service systems from "power batteries" and "energy storage systems" to "embodied intelligent robots". The two parties will use this to establish the world's first embodied intelligence aftermarket service standard.
