PHYBOT M1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid from PHYBOT (动易科技, Dongyi Technology), a Beijing company founded in September 2024. It stands 176 cm tall, weighs 67 kg, has more than 32 degrees of freedom and peak joint torque of up to 830 Nm.
Hardware
M1 is 176 cm tall and weighs 67 kg, with 925 mm legs. The body has more than 32 degrees of freedom excluding dexterous hands, whose configuration depends on the order, and a wide joint range. PHYBOT quotes a maximum joint torque of 830 Nm measured in its lab and stresses that the structure tolerates impacts during dynamic moves.
Two 9 Ah batteries give more than two hours of runtime, and a single pack can be hot-swapped in about 15 seconds. Body control and external communication run on independent channels to resist interference. PHYBOT develops key components itself, from joint modules to the main controller and power management, and also sells its own integrated cycloidal joint modules (PhyArc series).
Software and AI
Motion control is built with reinforcement learning and imitation learning. PHYBOT says its team is one of the few able to scale reinforcement learning for full-size humanoid control. The robot supports custom development and AI integration.
Use cases
PHYBOT targets research and teaching, production, specialized operations and logistics. It also offers a smaller companion robot, the C1 (128 cm, 28 kg), for guiding and entertainment.
Manufacturer
PHYBOT (动易科技) was founded in September 2024 around the idea of "Robot for AI", building a body suited to artificial intelligence. It says more than 85% of its staff work in R&D. The company is registered in Beijing. The catalog lists Taiwan as the country and describes M1 as having a telescoping spine; the manufacturer's website does not support either.
Price and availability
M1 is sold through PHYBOT's sales team. No price is listed on its website.
