MagicLab launches the MagicBot Z1, a compact bipedal humanoid with 24 degrees of freedom expandable to 50 and joints above 130 N·m, offered in standard and developer editions.

### What changes On July 8, 2025, Chinese startup MagicLab (Magic Atom Robotics) launched the MagicBot Z1, a compact and agile bipedal humanoid. It complements the larger, heavy-industry MagicBot Gen1 with a lighter format for research, education, commercial services, industry and home companionship. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Degrees of freedom | 24 base, expandable to 50 | | Joint torque | over 130 N·m maximum | | Joint range | up to 320° | | Perception | 3D lidar, depth cameras, binocular cameras | | Terrain | flat ground, grass, gravel, stairs | | Editions | standard; developer with optional dexterous hands, compute or extra arm DoF | According to MagicLab, a developer can teach the robot a new motion in about 20 minutes. Pricing is not disclosed; sales go through a business contact. ### Why it matters The Z1 enters the compact, dynamic humanoid segment dominated by Unitree's G1. It illustrates how many Chinese startups can release an agile biped sold as a development platform within months. ### Key takeaways With the Z1, MagicLab moves from a single industrial robot to a range. The company appeared at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in February 2026, then unveiled the full-size MagicBot X1 in April 2026. The Z1's height and weight are not listed in the official source consulted.
