AgiBot A2
The AgiBot A2 is a full-size humanoid robot family from AgiBot, comprising four configurations: A2 Lite (education/cost-sensitive), A2 Ultra (enterprise service, 40 DOF, 3D LiDAR, WorkGPT multimodal AI), A2 Max (heavy-duty industrial), and A2-W (wheeled manufacturing platform, 2 kWh battery, 5+ hour runtime). The A2 reached simultaneous China, US, and EU safety certification in May 2025. AgiBot produced its 10,000th A2 in March 2026.
Current platform
AgiBot G2
Heavy-duty wheeled humanoid robot from AgiBot (Zhiyuan Robotics), designed for industrial-grade interactive tasks in manufacturing and logistics environments. The G2 features an omnidirectional wheeled base -- trading bipedal gait for payload capacity and stability -- paired with dual 7-DoF force-controlled arms and 360-degree perception. At 180 cm tall and 185 kg, the G2 is among the largest wheeled humanoids in production. Onboard compute runs the ActionGPT embodied AI model (2,570+ TOPS) alongside AgiBot's Genie RL platform for rapid skill deployment. IP42 rated for indoor industrial use. Launched by AgiBot in October 2025. First confirmed commercial deployment at Longcheer Technology's Nanchang tablet manufacturing facility in April 2026, handling MMIT station tablet testing with 310 units/hour throughput and 99.9%+ success rate.
Current platform
AgiBot A2-W
AgiBot A2-W is AgiBot's wheeled general-purpose humanoid robot, designed for industrial manufacturing environments where a wheeled base provides stability and precision not achievable by bipedal platforms. The A2-W features dual robotic arms with visual-guided manipulation, achieving positioning accuracy of plus or minus 0.1 mm and approximately two-second cycle times. A co-developed variant, 'Nengzai No. 1' (能仔一号), was jointly developed with SAIC General Motors and deployed on the Buick Electra E7 battery production line at the Ultium Center in Shanghai in 2026, marking one of the first instances of humanoid robots integrated into a major Chinese automotive production line.
Current platform
AgiBot Yuanzheng A2
AgiBot's flagship full-size bipedal humanoid (also called 'Expedition A2'), the lead model of its Yuanzheng (远征, 'Expedition') A-series for general-purpose industrial and commercial service use. Stands ~1.69 m, weighs ~69 kg (per AgiBot's official product page; some secondary sources cite ~1.75 m / ~55 kg), with 40+ degrees of freedom and a multimodal onboard AI system. AgiBot's most widely recognized robot; obtained China/US/EU certification and set a Guinness record for a ~106 km autonomous walk.
Current platform
AgiBot Lingxi X2
AgiBot's compact bipedal humanoid in its Lingxi (灵畸) line, roughly half adult height (~1.3 m, ~34-39 kg, ~25-30 DOF (X2 / X2 Ultra variants)), designed for education, entertainment, light service, and human-robot interaction rather than industrial work. It is a secondary product line; AgiBot's flagship full-size humanoid is the Yuanzheng A2. Noted for dynamic-mobility demonstrations (balance-intensive tasks) and onboard interaction AI.
Relationships
Explainers
Plain-language answers to the questions people ask about AgiBot, from DEPLOY’s explainer library. Each is written in the language of the question and cross-checked against this registry.
- What is the best humanoid robot to buy in 2026?
There is no single best humanoid robot in 2026; the right pick depends on which of the five availability tiers matches your use case. For consumer home use, 1X NEO is the only verified-available option ($20,000 outright or $499/month subscription with a six-month minimum; late-2026 US delivery). For research and developer access, the Unitree G1 is the practical choice. For warehouse and factory pilots, Agility Digit, Apptronik Apollo, and Figure 03 are the platforms with documented commercial deployments. For elite R&D, Boston Dynamics Atlas remains the dynamic-motion benchmark. Tesla Optimus remains consumer-promised but not for sale.
- Who are the leading humanoid robot makers?
By active commercial deployment activity in 2026, the leading humanoid robot makers are Tesla (Optimus, factory pilots), Figure AI (02, BMW pilot), Agility Robotics (Digit, warehouse operators), Apptronik (Apollo, Mercedes-Benz pilot), 1X Technologies (Neo, consumer pre-launch), Boston Dynamics (Atlas, R&D), and Unitree Robotics (G1/H-series, research). A fast-growing Chinese cohort (UBTech, Xiaomi, XPeng, Fourier, EngineAI, and others) is shipping platforms at increasingly competitive price points.
- Is Figure AI a Chinese company?
No. Figure AI is a US company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, founded in 2022 by American entrepreneur Brett Adcock. The confusion likely reflects the substantial Chinese humanoid-manufacturer presence in the broader category (Unitree, AgiBot, UBTech), but Figure AI is American.
- Which humanoid robot makers are American, Chinese, or from other countries?
The major American humanoid makers are Figure AI (Sunnyvale CA), Apptronik (Austin TX), Tesla (Palo Alto CA / Austin TX), Boston Dynamics (Waltham MA; Hyundai-owned), and Agility Robotics (Salem OR). The major Chinese makers are Unitree Robotics (Hangzhou), AgiBot (Shanghai), UBTech (Shenzhen), Fourier Intelligence (Shanghai), XPeng Robotics (Guangzhou), and several others. 1X Technologies operates a Norwegian-American structure (Moss Norway HQ plus Hayward California factory). Mentee Robotics is Israeli (acquired by Mobileye January 2026). Sanctuary AI is Canadian (Vancouver).
- What is UBTech Walker S2 and is UBTech a real humanoid company?
UBTech Robotics is a publicly-traded Chinese humanoid manufacturer headquartered in Shenzhen, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Walker S2 is the company's industrial-focused humanoid platform deployed in factory pilots with BYD, Geely, Foxconn, and other manufacturing customers. UBTech is real, with verified commercial pilots; the company distinguishes itself from the US private humanoid cohort by being publicly listed with disclosed financial state.
- What is Fourier Intelligence and the GR-3 humanoid?
Fourier Intelligence is a Chinese humanoid robotics company headquartered in Shanghai with distinctive technical heritage in lower-limb exoskeleton and rehabilitation robotics. The GR-3 is the company's third-generation general-purpose humanoid platform, evolved from the GR-1 and GR-2 predecessors. Fourier occupies a distinctive position in the Chinese humanoid cohort: medical and rehabilitation engineering heritage transitioning to general-purpose humanoid product, with research-platform commercial positioning rather than the factory-deployment focus of UBTech Walker S2 or the research-tools pricing of Unitree G1 and R1.

- What is AgiBot?
AgiBot is a Chinese commercial humanoid-robotics maker operating a multi-product portfolio: Yuanzheng A2 + Lingxi X2. Per Agent A humanoid registry audit: multi-product Chinese commercial humanoid sub-cohort entry; established Chinese humanoid maker with two distinct product lines covering complementary deployment positioning. CRITICAL CAP-FLAG against aggregator-drift framing as 'autonomous' or 'shipping at scale': verification posture is overwhelmingly demonstration/teleoperation per consistent Chinese sub-cohort discipline. Cohort positioning: multi-product Chinese commercial humanoid archetype within the broader Chinese humanoid sub-cohort variance, structurally distinct from single-product Chinese sub-cohort entries ([XPENG Iron](/explainers/what-is-xpeng-iron) + [EngineAI SE01](/explainers/what-is-engineai-se01)) and from product-line-variance entries ([Unitree](/explainers/what-is-unitree) G1+R1+H1+H2 lineup).
