PsiBot V1 is an announced robot from Chinese company PsiBot, which specialises in AI models for dexterous manipulation. PsiBot lists V1 among its "upcoming" products but has not published its specifications. The robot the company currently shows is Psi SynRobot, built for logistics and industry.
What is known about PsiBot V1
PsiBot's home page lists its products: the Psi Sim simulation platform, the Psi Data service, the Psi R0 and R0.5 models and the "upcoming" Psi R1, PsiBot V1, PsiBot H1 and PsiBot DC1. No height, weight, DoF, payload or price is given for V1, so catalogue values have no support in PsiBot's own material.
In April 2026 the company unveiled its own ψ-SynRobot (Psi SynRobot), a humanoid running PSI-series models for logistics, retail and industry. It is not clear whether or how that robot relates to the V1 name.
AI models and use cases
PsiBot is software-led: it released the Psi R0 reinforcement-learning model in December 2024, the Psi R1 VLA model in May 2025, the Psi-SynEngine human data-collection system (including exoskeleton tactile gloves) in December 2025, and the Psi R2 and Psi W0 models in April 2026, with Psi R2 topping the Molmospace leaderboard according to the company. Psi R2.5 followed in September 2026.
PsiBot says logistics pilots with major clients began in January 2025 and that its systems have been validated in real warehouse sorting. Its site also shows tasks such as optical-module testing and boxing and tying bags.
