China’s AGIBOT used WAIC 2026 in Shanghai to launch four new robotics products and announce production of its 15,000th robot. The lineup spans a humanoid designed to work alongside people, an industrial platform, an education-focused system, and a robotic hand—positioning the company across multiple use cases rather than a single demo category.
The headline product was the A3 Ultra humanoid. It stands 1.74 meters tall, has 51 degrees of freedom, and can lift up to 5 kg with each arm. AGIBOT says it can run for up to 8 hours on a charge, supports fast battery swaps, and can recharge automatically. For navigation and spatial awareness, it uses lidar, multiple cameras, positioning systems, and Nvidia Thor.
AGIBOT also pointed to early factory use cases. At Longcheer Technology, the company says G2 humanoid robots help inspect tablet quality, move parts, operate test equipment, and return finished products. According to AGIBOT, the line was integrated in 36 hours, produces about 3,000 tablets per shift, and the robots have worked for more than 64 hours with less than 4% downtime.
Beyond the A3 Ultra, AGIBOT introduced the G2 Max industrial robot, X2 EDU educational platform, and OmniHand 3 Ultra-M robotic hand. G2 Max is aimed at cargo transport and palletizing, X2 EDU targets universities and labs, and OmniHand 3 Ultra-M is built for more delicate object manipulation.

X2 EDU stands out for its open hardware architecture. Users can connect sensors, computing modules, and tools, which makes it suited to research and teaching projects.
The OmniHand 3 Ultra-M includes 20 active degrees of freedom, computer-vision-based tactile sensors, and the ability to hold objects weighing up to 5 kg. That matters because dexterity—not just walking and balance—is becoming a key battleground for humanoid robotics.
AGIBOT’s announcement fits squarely into China’s broader robotics push. WAIC has become a regular stage for local companies showing humanoids, service robots, and industrial systems, while domestic rivals including Unitree and Fourier continue to expand public demos and pilot deployments. In that context, AGIBOT’s 15,000th robot is less a branding milestone than a signal that scale and factory integration are now the benchmarks that matter.
