Description

The PHYBOT M1 walks into the spotlight as a full-sized electric humanoid built for both power and agility. It stands human-height (172 cm) and stays surprisingly light (under 60 kg). The team at PHYBOT crafted it to move naturally in spaces built for people — homes, warehouses, labs — while carrying heavier loads. Because it balances size and strength, M1 bridges the gap between fragile research bots and bulky industrial machines.

2026 Humanoid Robot Market Report

160 pages of exclusive insight from global robotics experts – uncover funding trends, technology challenges, leading manufacturers, supply chain shifts, and surveys and forecasts on future humanoid applications.

Rather than hide behind cautious demos, PHYBOT showed off M1’s core strength with a striking stunt: a standing backflip. That burst of motion isn’t just for show. It demonstrates how the robot’s high-torque joints and power-dense actuators enable explosive movement. This power gives M1 the physical “muscles” to lift, carry, and handle tasks that demand more than delicate manipulation. Consequently, the robot suits work that involves weight, impact, or dynamic motion.

Still, M1 doesn’t sacrifice control. Its sensor suite — including 3D LiDAR, stereo cameras, and IMU sensors — supports balance, perception, and real-time environment awareness. Thus, it can navigate complex surroundings and react appropriately while moving or carrying loads. Because of that, it fits well into settings such as logistics, industrial support, and dynamic workspace automation where reliability and adaptability matter.
