PHYBOT develops high-performance humanoid robots powered by proprietary actuator technology.
PHYBOT is a Chinese humanoid robotics company developing high-performance robots with a strong emphasis on in-house actuator technology and dynamic locomotion. The company designs key motion components internally, including proprietary cycloidal reducers, to maximize torque density, efficiency, and whole-body performance. Its flagship M1 humanoid has demonstrated advanced dynamic capabilities, including a standing backflip, enabled by proprietary joints capable of delivering up to 530 N·m of peak torque. By vertically integrating its drivetrain and actuation technologies, PHYBOT is focused on building powerful humanoid platforms for demanding industrial and embodied AI applications.
