Galbot Trip: Immersive Experience of Embodied AI Reshaping the Future of Human-Robot Interaction
Artificial intelligence is stepping out of the virtual world and into physical entities, making embodied intelligence a key direction for the next generation of human-machine interaction. Galaxy Universal Robotics Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in China’s embodied intelligence field founded in May 2023, has recently completed a new funding round of RMB 1.1 billion — the largest single investment in embodied intelligence in China to date.
The company not only possesses world-leading R&D capabilities in embodied intelligence but has also deployed its humanoid robots across various scenarios including retail, industrial settings, and healthcare. For experience design professionals, understanding how embodied intelligence influences user experience design has become essential frontier knowledge.
Tour Experience Includes:
1. Corporate Innovation Environment: Visit Galaxy Universal’s R&D lab to learn about the end-to-end innovation system behind humanoid robots, from development to deployment.
2. Galaxy Space Capsule Retail Scenario: Experience the world’s first consumer-facing,常态化-operated embodied intelligence retail solution. Observe how robots perform full autonomous operations such as voice reception, order placement, payment, item retrieval, and face-to-face delivery.
3. Industrial and Healthcare Applications: Explore applications of humanoid robots in factories, 24-hour warehouses, and healthcare scenarios, including smart ward rounds and vital signs monitoring.
4. Technology Development Showcase: Gain deep insight into Galaxy’s self-developed end-to-end large models (e.g., GraspVLA and GroceryVLA) and how they enable robots to perceive, understand, and complete tasks in complex real-world environments.
Participants will learn:
1. How embodied intelligence is reshaping paradigms of human-robot interaction and UX design principles.
2. Implementation methods and design challenges of multimodal interaction in robotics.
3. Application design and methodological innovation of robotic technology in commercial settings.
This design trip offers an immersive experience into the appeal of embodied intelligence, a closer look at how technology enables design innovation, and valuable insights and inspiration for your work in design and product development in the era of AI and robotics integration.
