Galileo S1 Large Industrial Grade Quadruped Robot Dog

Most legged robots are built to look around. The Galileo S1 is built to carry. Galileo (GalileoTime) designed this 118 kg quadruped to walk with 100 kg on its back, hold 170 kg while standing, and keep going for up to five hours on two large lithium batteries. It is sealed to IP67, it can find its charger and dock on its own, and it can sleep for a year or more and then wake up on a remote command. That combination makes the S1 a working machine for heavy jobs. It hauls equipment up stairs, carries big sensor stacks across industrial sites, and takes rescue gear over terrain that stops wheeled vehicles.

Background and Manufacturer

Galileo (Tianjin) Technology is a Chinese developer of bionic quadruped robots and embodied intelligence systems. Its legged line covers several weight classes. The compact C1 comes first, then the industrial E1 series, the explosion-protected EX-1, and the S1 series at the top. The S1 series has the conventional four-legged S1, the wheel-legged S1-W for faster travel on smooth ground, and the S1-E for high-risk environments. Galileo positions the S1 for industrial inspection, carrying materials at high altitude, inspections that need large equipment on board, and emergency rescue. In other words, it takes over manual work in places that are dangerous for people.

Design and Engineering

Strength first

The S1 stands 1,200 × 550 × 650 mm and weighs 118 kg. Its 100 kg continuous walking load is close to its own body weight, and few legged robots reach that ratio. Its high-strength structure and Galileo's own motion control algorithms keep that load stable over rough ground, on slopes of 30° or more, up flights of 30 cm steps, and onto 80 cm platforms. The maximum standing load of 170 kg is a static figure. It suits stationary jobs such as acting as a mobile mount for heavy instruments. It is not a rating for carrying weight while the robot walks.

Endurance and power management

Two lithium batteries give a combined 60 Ah at 59 V (3,540 Wh). That is enough for 3.5 to 5 hours of operation, depending on load, speed and terrain. The robot supports autonomous charging, so it can return to its dock between missions without a person stepping in. Its low-power mode lasts 365 days or more and supports remote wake-up. That suits standby roles such as emergency response caches or remote sites, where the robot may sit for months and then has to deploy at once. The charger accepts 100 to 240 V input, so it works on mains power almost anywhere.

Computing and integration

The S1 has two computers. A low-power ARM processor (8 cores, 8 GB RAM, 64 GB SSD) runs control. An x86 processor (4 cores, 8 threads, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB storage) has room for perception, mapping, AI models and customer software. Equipment connects over Ethernet, USB 3.0 and RS485, and more interfaces can be added. Mounted devices can draw power from the robot's 48 V and 24 V outputs, so instruments don't need their own batteries. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 links the robot to the site network, and an app handles operation.

Built for the outdoors

IP67 sealing protects against dust and against temporary submersion in water. The operating range of −20 °C to 55 °C covers winter yards, desert sites and high-altitude routes.

Technical Specifications

Who It Is For

The S1 suits buyers whose limit is weight rather than vision:

• Industrial and logistics operators moving tools, spares and materials around warehouses, production lines and sprawling plants.
• Energy, mining and utility companies running inspections that need many heavy instruments carried at once.
• Emergency services and disaster-response teams that need a robot to haul equipment over rubble and stairs, and to wait on standby for long periods.
• Security organizations fitting out a patrol platform with lighting, audio and surveillance equipment all at once.
• Integrators and research groups looking for a strong legged base with open interfaces, onboard power outputs and x86 computing for arms and custom sensors.

Applications

Material handling: Carrying bins, parts and consumables through areas with stairs, ramps and broken floors that carts and AGVs can't use.

Inspection with large equipment: Carrying thermal imagers, gas analyzers, acoustic sensors and zoom cameras together, all powered from the robot's own 48 V and 24 V outputs.

Transport at high altitude and in remote areas: Moving supplies along mountain, plateau and off-road routes where people tire quickly and vehicles can't get through.

Emergency rescue: Taking medical kits, lighting, communications relays and rescue tools into earthquake, flood and collapse zones ahead of the crews.

Long patrols: Repeated security or inspection rounds that use autonomous charging to keep the robot cycling between docking and the route.

Support: From First Inquiry to Long-Term Service

Before you buy: Every project starts with a review of what the S1 has to do. That covers payload weight and mounting, terrain and climate, mission length, and the systems it has to connect to. The power budget, interface plan and charging setup are settled before a quotation is issued.

Setup and commissioning: Each robot ships with its manufacturer documentation. The first-start process covers charging the batteries, calibration, app and network setup, docking station placement and checking every mounted device.

Training: Operators learn the gaits, load limits, safe lifting and transport of a 118 kg machine, and daily pre-mission checks. Technical staff learn the ARM and x86 computing stack, the interfaces and the power outputs.

Deployment: Deployment support covers route design, autonomous charging workflows, payload integration over Ethernet, USB or RS485, and connection to monitoring or fleet software. Integrators can build site-specific applications on the x86 computer.

Ongoing service: The S1 comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Technical help, software updates, replacement batteries and spare parts stay available for the life of the robot.

Pricing and Availability

The Galileo S1 is sold on quotation. The final cost depends on configuration, mounted equipment, spare batteries, the charging dock, the scope of training and integration, the delivery destination and import duties. Every unit is sourced through the manufacturer's official channels and comes with full manufacturer warranty, documentation and technical support. You can request quotes for single units, fleets and project orders for the Galileo S1 on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can the Galileo S1 carry?

It carries 100 kg continuously while walking and supports up to 170 kg while standing still.

How long does the battery last?

The dual batteries hold 3,540 Wh at 59 V and give 3.5 to 5 hours of operation, depending on load and terrain. The robot can also dock and recharge on its own.

Can the Galileo S1 climb stairs?

Yes. It climbs consecutive 30 cm steps, handles slopes of 30° or more and can step up onto platforms up to 80 cm high.

Is the Galileo S1 waterproof?

It is rated IP67 against dust and temporary submersion, and it operates from −20 °C to 55 °C.

Can I power my own sensors from the robot?

Yes. It provides 48 V and 24 V power outputs, plus Ethernet, USB 3.0 and RS485 data interfaces, all of which can be expanded.

Is the Galileo S1 explosion-proof?

No. For hazardous atmospheres, Galileo offers the S1-E and the EX-1.

Where can I buy the Galileo S1 and what does it cost?
