A demonstration from Beijing exposes something denser than marketing, it is a power architecture built to deliver real impact, it is the Phybot M1 revealed in a video of just 309 seconds, but enough to reorganize the map of current robotics.

The images show the M1 doing a backflip, starting from the ground from a static position, projecting the body to almost a complete cycle and absorbing the impact like few others. The M1 measures 1.73 cm tall, weighs 60 kg and operates entirely with a high-performance electrical system powered by 72 V.

The internal anatomy maintains the functional focus, where the perception suite combines three-dimensional lidar, stereo cameras and an inertial unit, while intelligence operates in a hybrid arrangement that unites an Nvidia Jetson orin with an Intel Core i7 processor.

The proposal is simple to understand, but complex to replicate, a humanoid body with closed architecture without dependence on open codes or external frameworks, the creators trained at the University of Tinhuais and with experience at UTech and Forier Intelligence structured the M1 as a machine oriented towards real strength.

There are 32 degrees of freedom distributed in five-arc cycloidal joints designed by the same company and capable of generating a torque of up to 530 Nm. This design produces a density of 200 Nm per kg, an index that works like compressed muscle, releasing very short-term energy with brutal efficiency.

The result appears in the highs, more than 10 instantaneous kW pushing the metal body in movements that require a prepared transmission, this engineering allows the metal body to survive its own aggressiveness, a minimum requirement when aerial maneuvers enter the repertoire of a humanoid.

Irregular terrain is no longer an obstacle, objects weighing 20 kg or lifted with stability and loads greater than 50 kg can be carried on the back without loss of control. They witnessed all this in public demonstrations that exposed not only performance, but the intention of building a humanoid for real tasks: logistics, construction, response and emergencies, hostile industrial environments.

The end goal seems less about stunts and more about technological mastery. Phybot is targeting an aggressive price below $42,000 for a package that combines power, autonomy, proprietary engineering, putting pressure on a market where each jump redefines the hierarchy between bipedal machines.
