Agibot: Humanoid robots with a common AI platform

Contents

Founded in Shanghai in 2023, Agibot presented three humanoid and one four-legged robots at CES 2026 that utilize a common system architecture. Unlike many slow and cumbersome models, they move quite agilely and safely.

The approach: “One robot body, three intelligences” combines motion control, interaction, and task logic. All models use a common training system to connect perception, speech output, and body movement. However, due to the lack of a fast internet connection, it was not possible to interact with the robots at the trade fair.

AI Training and Skill Transfer

Data from cameras, depth sensors, and movement feedback serve as training material for the robot AI. According to its statements, Agibot can transfer learned skills such as grasping, carrying, or navigation between different robot types. This reduces training effort and makes functions usable across multiple application areas.

The hardware is also designed for series production: Agibot has already manufactured and delivered several thousand humanoid robots. The systems are used in service, logistics, industrial manufacturing, and research institutions, among others.

A2: Full-Format Humanoid for Service and Reception

With a height of 1.69 meters and a weight of 69 kilograms, the A2 series is a life-sized humanoid robot designed for service-oriented environments such as reception areas and showrooms. Since November 2025, it has held the Guinness World Record for the longest robot march over a distance of a good 106 kilometers.

The robot has 40 degrees of freedom in its head, torso, arms, and legs. It is designed for natural full-body movements and multimodal interaction. The A2 perceives its environment via LiDAR sensors and RGB cameras. When standing, the 14.4 Ah battery is supposed to supply the robot with energy for three hours, and when walking, only 1.5 hours.

Agibot interacts via voice output, gestures, and a visual facial display. The battery can be swapped while the system is running. Safety functions include sensor-based collision avoidance, behavioral adjustments when humans are nearby, and an emergency stop mechanism. According to the manufacturer, the entire robot platform meets several international safety certifications.

X2: Compact Humanoid for Education and Entertainment

The X2 series is a smaller humanoid robot with a height of 1.31 meters and a weight of about 36 kilograms. Despite its compact design, the robot offers 31 degrees of freedom, including finely movable arms and hands. Several RGB cameras and a 3D LiDAR system support navigation and interaction.

The focus is on expressive movement, for example for a human-like gait and dance or sports demonstrations. The X2 is designed for research, teaching, and entertainment. A display can convey facial expressions and thus emotional states. Like the other models, the X2 also has multi-stage safety mechanisms that reduce speed or stop movements when people get too close.

G2: Humanoid Robot for Industry

The G2 series is aimed at industrial applications such as manufacturing and logistics. The robot is about two meters high, carries up to five kilograms per arm, and has 27 degrees of freedom. Instead of legs, it moves on a cart resembling a robotic lawnmower.

Its sensitive hands are equipped with multiple tactile sensors that detect force, position, and temperature. This enables precise tasks such as sorting, folding, or controlled grasping. The G2 can operate autonomously or be remotely controlled via VR glasses or motion capture. A dual battery system with automatic docking charging allows for continuous operation. Comprehensive sensor technology, behavioral safeguards, and a shutdown mechanism are intended to ensure safe operation in mixed human-robot environments.

D1: Four-legged Robot for Inspection and Emergency Operations

The D1 four-legged robot series is designed for use in difficult terrain and is housed in a weather- and dust-protected housing according to IP67 standard. The equipment includes LiDAR sensors, depth cameras, position sensors, and radio modules for image transmission and 5G communication.

The robot can walk, jump, climb, and adapt its gait to different surfaces. Modules and attachments can be integrated via an SDK interface, for example for industrial inspections or emergency operations.
