Galbot

Researchers trained a humanoid robot to play tennis using only 5 hours of motion capture data The robot can now sustain multi-shot rallies with human players, hitting balls traveling >15 m/s with a ~90% success rate AlphaGo for every sport is coming

Galbot Robotics has released a video showing a humanoid robot rallying tennis shots with a human player. bit.ly/418sUTs

A video of a China-developed humanoid robot playing tennis was posted on X on Sunday and was reposted and liked by Elon Musk on Monday with a brief comment “yeah,” drawing a total of 8.6K likes and sparking widespread attention and discussion. Developed by Galbot, the humanoid tennis robot can rapidly adjust its footwork and positioning, coordinate upper- and lower-body movements to execute swings, and return shots with precision to designated targets.

@IntEngineering Thanks for sharing it🎾!

@Mikiebuttons That's such a great idea! We'll do a video of it😀

@GalbotRobotics The robot can return balls fed to it. I would love to see a video of a robot vs a professional tennis player, or see it serve a ball.

🎾Your humanoid tennis player is here!🤖 Introducing LATENT (Learning Athletic Humanoid Tennis Skills from Imperfect Human Motion Data) — the world’s first real-time whole-body planning and control algorithm for athletic humanoid tennis. For the first time, a humanoid robot can sustain high-dynamic, long-horizon tennis rallies with millisecond-level reactions, precise ball striking, and natural whole-body motion. This marks a leap from mechanical motion imitation to intelligent, decision-driven athletic interaction. #Galbot #Robotics #Innovation #AI #Technology #Humanoid

@JoaoZorro Thanks!

@GalbotRobotics Pretty cool

@karpathy @Zhikai273 It’s 100% real. 100% autonomous.

@Zhikai273 Wow. I was sure this was AI. (I mean generative AI.)

Galbot trains AstraBrain through a combined approach: a small amount of human demonstration to capture task intent, massive high-fidelity simulation and synthetic data (including hard cases like transparent objects and deformable cloth) to broaden coverage, reinforcement learning to sharpen precision and collision-free behavior via trial-and-error, and lightweight real-world fine-tuning to close the sim-to-real gap. The result is a system that emphasizes generalization—one autonomy stack handling diverse tasks (in-hand dexterity, transparent-object pickup, packed-shelf retrieval, cloth folding, and bimanual tool use) by adapting to the live environment rather than “memorizing” a single scripted sequence.

🎉Galbot G1 showcased a real-time autonomous performance on this year’s live Spring Festival Gala! ✅Rolling walnuts in-hand ✅Picking up glass pieces ✅Retrieving a bottle from tightly packed shelves ✅Folding a T-shirt ✅Cooking and skewering sausages. Watch to see how it perceives, decides, and acts in real time🚀 #Galbot #Robotics #Humanoid #AI #Technology #Gala

What made Galbot G1’s Gala segment different is that it wasn’t driven by pre-programmed routines or trajectories. Instead, the robot operated autonomously in real time. At the center is AstraBrain, Galbot’s integrated embodied foundation model designed to coordinate whole-body and whole-hand control under a unified “brain–cerebellum–neural control” framework.
