AgiBot says more than a thousand A2 Ultra units are working in real deployments.","sections":[{"h":"History and launch","p":["AgiBot was founded in Shanghai in February 2023. It showed its first humanoid, A1, in August 2023 and the A2 series, together with the smaller open-source X1, in August 2024. It opened a Shanghai manufacturing base in early 2024 and later a data-collection facility of more than 3,000 m².","The A family has since added the wheeled A2-W for flexible manufacturing and the stage-focused A3. The current A2 line-up is A2 Ultra (full version) and A2 Lite (simplified, performance-oriented)."]},{"h":"Hardware","p":["AgiBot's spec table lists A2 Ultra at 169 cm and about 69 kg with 40 DoF: 2 in the neck, 7 per arm, 6 per leg and 6-DoF dexterous hands. A2 Lite weighs about 64 kg and has 23 DoF (5 per arm, no dexterous hands).","Peak knee torque is 270 Nm. A2 Ultra walks at up to 1.2 m/s (Lite up to 0.8 m/s) and handles 10-degree ramps. Each arm lifts about 2 kg. A 14.4 Ah battery gives about 3 hours standing or 1.5+ hours walking on the Ultra; it can be hot-swapped or fast-charged (about 2 hours for a full charge).","The Ultra carries a 3D LiDAR, RGB-D, RGB and fisheye cameras, a face screen with expressions, microphones and a speaker, plus Wi-Fi and 4G/5G. AgiBot says every unit passes a 92-item inspection and walking tests have run up to 1,300 hours continuously without a fall."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["A2 Ultra has a configurable conversation platform: operators can set the knowledge base, wake word, persona, voice and greeting. It recognises faces and greets visitors, navigates autonomously and avoids obstacles. Motion sequences and choreographies can be built without code, including for groups of robots, and an optional VR kit lets operators record new moves by teleoperation.","AgiBot also builds its own AI stack: the open AgiBot World dataset, the AimRT framework, the Genie Envisioner world model and the Link-U OS."]},{"h":"Use cases and deployments","p":["A2 is used mainly in reception areas, showrooms, trade fairs, museums and performances, and AgiBot says A2 Ultra is in more than a thousand deployments. Across all products, AgiBot rolled out its 10,000th robot in March 2026 and its 15,000th in June 2026, and it cites IDC data showing it led global humanoid shipments in the first half of 2026."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["AgiBot Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd., known in China as Zhiyuan, is based in Shanghai. Besides the A series it makes the X1 and X2 humanoids, the wheeled Genie G1 and G2, D1 quadrupeds, the C5 cleaning robot and OmniHand hands. It opened a Hong Kong office in October 2026."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["AgiBot does not list an A2 price on its English site; sales go through its sales team and store. The package includes a battery, chargers, a wireless emergency stop and a remote controller."]}],"timeline":[["2023-02","AgiBot founded."],["2023-08","A1 humanoid unveiled."],["2024-08","A2 series and X1 unveiled."],["2026-03","AgiBot's 10,000th robot rolls off the line."],["2026-06","AgiBot's 15,000th robot rolls off the line."]],"faq":[["How much does the AgiBot A2 cost?","The price is not listed on AgiBot's English site; quotes come from sales."],["How tall and heavy is the AgiBot A2?","A2 Ultra is 169 cm and about 69 kg; A2 Lite is about 64 kg."],["How much can the A2 lift?","About 2 kg per arm according to AgiBot.
