Description
Laborer C1 is a compact bipedal humanoid robot from Glroad (Wuhan Glroad Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.), a technology company based in Wuhan, China. Glroad unveiled it on August 19, 2026, at the World Robot Conference in Beijing, as part of its new “Laborer” robot family. C1 stands 138 cm tall and weighs just 38 kg. As a result, it moves easily through lobbies, halls and crowds. While its big sibling M1 handles heavy loads, C1 focuses on service and interaction.
