Hunyuan T1

Astribot (星尘智能) released the T1 on May 27, 2026, as its next-generation rope-driven AI robot priced from RMB 89,900, with shipments starting June 1 . The company claims to be the first and only firm to mass-produce rope-driven AI robots . At 1.55 meters tall and roughly 66 kg, T1 offers 23 degrees of freedom and a 5 kg single-arm payload, designed for portability, low-barrier development, and flexible deployment across home, commercial, research, entertainment, and industrial scenarios . The product emphasizes manipulation over locomotion—demonstrating tasks like steak-frying, laundry sorting, cocktail-mixing, chemistry experiments, and auto-part handling in promotional videos—positioning it for what Astribot and its investor Yunqi Capital frame as the "Physical AI" era where operational dexterity matters more than movement alone . The release follows Astribot's earlier S1 model, with the company planning imminent announcements around its AI model and embodied OS .
