The verified answer

As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Astribot S1, a humanoid by Stardust Intelligence (research). 4 sources back the record.

Overview

Astribot's flagship: a dual-arm mobile manipulator (typically shown on a wheeled base), built for high-speed, high-precision dexterous manipulation: demonstrated cooking, calligraphy, and delicate handling, claimed fully autonomous (not teleoperated). Confirmed: 7-DOF per arm, 5-10 kg payload per arm, sub-millimeter (±0.1mm) repeatability. NOTE: the headline '10 m/s' figure is ARM (end-effector) speed, NOT walking/locomotion speed; Astribot has not published locomotion specs. Height varies across sources (~165-173 cm); omitted pending a primary figure.
