Galbot Wins Gold at World Humanoid Robot Games 2025 – Fully Autonomous Robot Redefines the Future
Big news from Beijing—Galbot has just made history at the very first World Humanoid Robot Games, taking home the gold medal in the Robot Skills Competition. And it did it without any human help—fully autonomous, no teleoperation, no strings attached.
While many of the 22 teams relied on remote control, Galbot sailed through the prelims, semis, and finals in first place. The headline moment was the Pharmaceutical Sorting Challenge, where it scanned six tall shelves, picked the right medications out of hundreds, and delivered nine correct ones in just 10 minutes and 22 seconds. The score? 336 points—leaving second place trailing by a huge 160-point margin.
This wasn’t just a flashy demo. Galbot’s already hard at work in over 10 smart pharmacies across Beijing, with plans to roll out to more than 100 by the end of the year. So yes, it’s already handing out prescriptions while the rest of us are still fumbling with self-checkout machines.
The secret behind its success is Galbot’s clever ‘Sim2Real’ training method—massive synthetic data practice, then fine-tuning in the real world. That means it learns faster, costs less, and adapts better.
So, from the competition floor to the pharmacy counter, Galbot isn’t just winning medals—it’s redefining what robots can do in the real world. And if this is the starting line, the future of humanoid robotics just got a whole lot more interesting.
