It has 55 in-house MPA 3.0 actuators with peak torque density of 196 Nm/kg and a wide joint range. The neck and torso use flexible enclosure material that allows more complex postures and safer contact.","The third-generation five-finger hands have 22 DoF, tactile sensors and hybrid force-position control. The robot carries eight RGB cameras, optional LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors, a noise- and echo-cancelling microphone array, a speaker and a facial-expression display. A custom 2.28 kWh battery gives about 5 hours of operation, charges in 45 minutes and works with an autonomous charging base. Power and data cabling are routed internally."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Onboard compute is an 8-core processor with integrated GPU running a real-time OS; Matrix says AI compute is four times that of the previous generation. The robot uses a vision-language model for visual reasoning, a dialogue model co-trained with LLM vendors and the MLM 2.0 manipulation model, and learns skills through imitation and reinforcement learning."]},{"h":"Applications","p":["Matrix gives examples such as opening different door handles, recognising people and objects at a distance, patrolling office buildings and checking staff IDs, handing control to a human operator when a decision is needed. No customers or unit numbers have been disclosed."]},{"h":"Manufacturer and successors","p":["Matrix Robotics describes its team as drawn from AI, humanoid robotics and autonomous driving, and its CEO is Allen Zhang. On 10 January 2026 it announced MATRIX-3, with a 3D-woven \"biomimetic skin\", a cable-driven 27-DoF hand and fingertip sensors that detect pressure down to 0.1 N. First MATRIX-3 pilot deployments with partners were expected from mid-2026."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["MATRIX-1 is listed as coming soon with no price; inquiries go through the company's contact form."]}],"timeline":[["2026-01","Matrix Robotics announces third-generation MATRIX-3"],["2026","MATRIX-3 partner pilots planned from mid-year"]],"faq":[["How much does MATRIX-1 weigh?","67 kg at 180 cm tall."],["What is MATRIX-1's battery life?","Up to 5 hours per the company, with 45-minute charging."],["How many DoF does the MATRIX-1 hand have?","22."],["Is MATRIX-1 on sale?","It is listed as coming soon, with no price."]],"sources":[{"title":"MATRIX-1: Next-generation AI humanoid robot","publisher":"Matrix Robotics","url":"https://www.matrixrobotics.ai/matrix-1","date":"2026"},{"title":"Introducing MATRIX-3","publisher":"Matrix Robotics","url":"https://www.matrixrobotics.ai/","date":"2026-01-10"},{"title":"MATRIX-3 product page","publisher":"Matrix Robotics","url":"https://www.matrixrobotics.ai/matrix-3","date":"2026"}],"updated":"2026-10-10"},"mera":{"rental_with_operator":false,"sale_in_offer":false,"availability":"confirmation_required","shop_url":null},"url":"https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoids/matrix-robotics-matrix-1","inquiry_url":"https://merarobotics.com/en/start?service=purchase&robot=matrix-robotics-matrix-1"}
