ASUS Unveils Gallop, Its First Humanoid Robot, on November 13: It Is Learning to Pack 15 Motherboard Accessories in About 20 Seconds a Board, With a Target of 99.5 Percent Success Within 20 Seconds
ASUS unveiled Gallop, its first humanoid robot, in a company pressroom post on November 13, 2026, introduced by co-chief executive S.Y. Hsu on CNBC. Gallop is learning a real workstation at an ASUS group electronics manufacturing plant. The job is packing 15 motherboard accessories per board, many of them small parts in thin clear bags, at about 20 seconds per board. ASUS's target is 99.5 percent success within 20 seconds, the same standard it holds a person to, and the company has not disclosed how often Gallop succeeds today. Gallop runs on a single Nvidia Jetson AGX Thor computer inside the robot and uses standard robotics software. It learns by watching skilled workers through head cameras, along with simulation variations, VR-guided practice and on-the-job feedback. The program started in early 2026, so Gallop has been in development for less than a year. Customer pilots are planned for 2027, a customer showing is planned at Computex 2027, and market availability is targeted for the second half of 2028. ASUS disclosed no price, unit cost or production volume for Gallop. The two-armed robot is being judged against the person doing the same factory job, rather than against a demonstration.
