Frequently asked questions
How do G1 and Astribot S1 compare on price?
G1: $87,000. Astribot S1: Quote-only (B2B); official site lists no price. Chinese reports cite ~CNY 500,000 (~$69,000) for the research edition; third-party estimates $96,000–$150,000. Volume shipments in China since late 2025. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Which has higher payload: G1 or Astribot S1?
G1 rates a higher payload at 10 kg vs 5 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Are both G1 and Astribot S1 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: G1 or Astribot S1?
G1 has no ROS support; Astribot S1 has ros2. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
