Embodied AI including humanoid robots are moving toward wider production and deployment. AGIBOT yesterday unveiled four new products at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, or WAIC. The company said they expand its portfolio across full-size humanoid platforms, heavy-payload industrial task robots, and direct-drive dexterous manipulation systems.
“The industry should no longer judge embodied AI by whether a robot can complete an impressive demonstration once, but by whether it can be manufactured, delivered and integrated reliably into real operating environments,” stated Peng Zhihui, AGIBOT co-founder, president, and chief technology officer.
“AGIBOT A3 Ultra, G2 Max, and OmniHand 3 Ultra-M address three essential layers of that challenge: the humanoid platform, industrial task execution, and dexterous manipulation,” he added. “Together with our recent production and factory-deployment milestones, these launches reflect our focus on building robots that can deliver consistent and practical value at scale.”
Founded in 2023, AGIBOT said it is developing both the foundation models and the robotic embodiments needed to bring general intelligence into the physical world. The company, also known as Zhiyuan New Technology Co., said its “Three Intelligences in One” architecture integrates locomotion, interaction, and manipulation into a unified system.
AGIBOT’s product line includes humanoids, quadrupeds, dexterous systems, and commercial cleaning solutions. Last month, the Shanghai-based company produced its 15,000th robot.
AGIBOT designs embodied AI for physical work #
AGIBOT said it has designed the A3 Ultra, G2 Max, and OmniHand 3 Ultra-M for commercial and service applications, while the X2 Edu is intended for educational use. At its 200-sq.-m (2,152.7-sq.-ft.) exhibition space at Booth H3-C101 in the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, AGIBOT presented the three new products alongside its manipulation foundation models, industrial deployment cases, and live robot demonstrations.
The AGIBOT A3 Ultra is a full-size humanoid robot developed for long-duration operation in public-facing, commercial, and service environments. Standing 1.74 m (5.7 ft.) tall and weighing 60 kg (132.2 lb.), it features 51 active degrees of freedom (DoF), a 5 kg (11 lb.) payload capacity per arm and up to eight hours of combined operating time.
A3 Ultra’s perception system includes 3D lidar, RGB-D cameras, fisheye cameras, and binocular vision. In addition, GPS, RTK, and UWB positioning support navigation and coordinated operation across different environments.
Powered by NVIDIA Thor for high-level embodied AI processing, A3 Ultra supports direct charging, battery replacement and autonomous charging. This allows the robot to remain available for extended service workflows rather than isolated appearances, said AGIBOT.
The AGIBOT G2 Max is the company’s first heavy-payload, force-controlled embodied task robot, developed for material handling, palletizing, and other industrial operations. G2 Max combines higher load capacity with force-controlled arms, adjustable working height, and omnidirectional wheeled mobility.
It is designed to operate alongside existing production equipment and factory systems, undertaking repetitive physical tasks that require both strength and controlled interaction. Its energy system supports battery replacement and autonomous charging to reduce operational interruptions in continuous production environments.
The OmniHand 3 Ultra-M is a flagship direct-drive dexterous hand designed for embodied AI training, teleoperation, demonstration capture, and contact-rich manipulation. It integrates 20 active DoF into a human-scale form factor weighing 630 g (22.2 oz.).
The gripper supports a whole-hand load of up to 5 kg (11 lb.), with a typical opening or closing time of 0.3 seconds and repeatability of ±0.2 mm. Vision-based tactile sensors at the fingertips and a tactile array in the palm enable the hand to detect changes in contact, force, and object position.
The OmniHand 3 Ultra-M’s fully direct-drive architecture supports responsive force regulation during complex manipulation tasks, explained AGIBOT.
**The AGIBOT X2 EDU **is a humanoid robotics development platform designed for education, competitions, and scientific research. Standing approximately 1.3 m (4.2 ft.) tall, it features 29 DoF across the body, including 7 DoF in each arm, and it supports an end-effector payload of up to 3 kg (6.6 lb.).
The platform’s fully modular architecture allows the robot to be disassembled and reconfigured throughout the hardware chain, while open motion-control and hardware interfaces provide access for secondary development. Developers can flexibly integrate end effectors, sensors, and additional computing modules according to different teaching and research requirements.
Beyond the booth, more than 30 AGIBOT robots operated across WAIC venues, providing visitor guidance, information services, and other demonstrations.
Industrial deployments show continuous task execution #
AGIBOT also presented industrial deployments developed with Longcheer Technology, PIA Automation, and other partners. The applications covered repetitive industrial processes including mass-production and un, chip handling, and production-line material movement.
At Longcheer’s factory in Nanchang, China, AGIBOT has integrated its G2 robots into a quality-inspection line for tablets. The robots complete a closed-loop workflow covering material collection, precision placement, equipment interfacing, and finished product return.
The company said integration with the production line took 36 hours. The system has inspected about 3,000 units per shift for more than 64 hours of cumulative continuous operation, with downtime loss kept below 4%, it said
AGIBOT asserted that these cases differ from one-off motion demonstrations because its robots must maintain production rhythms, repeat tasks consistently, respond to changes in object position and surrounding conditions, and coordinate with upstream and downstream equipment.
“The deployments show how embodied AI systems can become part of existing production processes without requiring manufacturers to rebuild an entire line around the robot,” it said.
AGIBOT also presented tourism, transportation, and commercial services applications, including projects developed with Sichuan Cultural Tourism and Guangzhou Railway. Its robots supported guided tours, route guidance, visitor interaction, information services, and on-site assistance, moving from general-purpose showcase roles toward defined service workflows.
Live demoes connect technical capabilities with workflows #
At its WAIC booth, AGIBOT presented dynamic motion, human-robot collaboration, and multi-step commercial service tasks. Its demonstrations included robots playing table tennis and boxing, serving beverages, and guidance in public venues.
The company said these showed how its robots can translate movement from teleoperation into coordinated and low-latency physical action. AGIBOT also noted that its beverage service combined perception, navigation, manipulation, and task sequencing for a commercial workflow.
Operating in busy public spaces requires the robots to navigate around visitors, respond to changing conditions and maintain consistent performance over extended periods, providing a practical test of their mobility, interaction and operational reliability.
Other humanoid and service robot developers at WAIC included Keenon Robotics, LimX Dynamics, Matrix Robotics, and UBTECH.
AGIBOT presents manipulation foundation models, Embodied AI Forum #
A dedicated Manipulation Intelligence Zone at the AGIBOT booth presented the company’s manipulation foundation models, dexterous systems, and task-development technologies. It was intended to show how perception, reasoning, action planning and physical control are connected to support task execution in complex environments.
AGIBOT yesterday hosted the WAIC 2026 Embodied AI Forum to bring together researchers, technology leaders, and robotics entrepreneurs from China and overseas to discuss the development of physical AI, advances in embodied intelligence, and the technical and operational requirements for scaling robots from research systems into real-world applications.
Last month, AGIBOT presented its robots for deployment in the U.K. with local partnerships at UK APC2026. It brought its partner conference to Australia and New Zealand last week.
