AGIBOT used its 200-square-meter booth at WAIC 2026 to present four new platforms aimed at moving embodied AI from laboratory showcases into sustained commercial and industrial operations. The Shanghai company positioned the releases as evidence that the sector must now measure progress by repeatable delivery and integration rather than isolated demonstrations.
Co-founder, president and CTO Peng Zhihui stated that the industry should judge embodied AI by whether robots can be manufactured, delivered and integrated reliably into real operating environments. He highlighted the A3 Ultra, G2 Max and OmniHand 3 Ultra-M as addressing the humanoid platform, industrial task execution and dexterous manipulation layers respectively.
Founded in 2023 as Zhiyuan New Technology Co., AGIBOT has already reached a production milestone of 15,000 robots. Its Three Intelligences in One architecture is designed to unify locomotion, interaction and manipulation within a single control stack, supporting both humanoid and non-humanoid form factors.
The A3 Ultra stands 1.74 m tall, weighs 60 kg and carries 51 active degrees of freedom with a 5 kg payload per arm. It is rated for up to eight hours of operation and incorporates 3D lidar, RGB-D and fisheye cameras plus binocular vision, backed by GPS, RTK and UWB positioning for multi-environment navigation.
Powered by NVIDIA Thor for high-level embodied AI processing, the A3 Ultra supports direct charging, battery swap and autonomous docking so it can remain available for extended service shifts rather than single appearances. AGIBOT presented the platform performing public-facing guidance tasks alongside dance demonstrations.
The G2 Max is the company’s first heavy-payload, force-controlled embodied task robot, built for material handling, palletizing and similar industrial operations. It combines higher load capacity with force-controlled arms, adjustable working height and omnidirectional mobility to fit existing factory layouts.
Complementing the larger platforms, the OmniHand 3 Ultra-M supplies direct-drive dexterous manipulation while the X2 Edu variant targets educational users. AGIBOT displayed all three commercial products together with manipulation foundation models and live industrial deployment footage inside its exhibition space.
The company’s emphasis on production volume and factory deployments contrasts with many peers still focused on prototype capability. By releasing hardware explicitly sized for commercial service and heavy industrial tasks, AGIBOT is signaling that capital is now being allocated to scale manufacturing and integration rather than further capability research alone.
For builders, the choice of NVIDIA Thor and the inclusion of multiple charging modes indicate a hardware bet on long-duration autonomy and standardized compute. The rapid production ramp to 15,000 units also suggests that closed-loop data collection from deployed fleets is becoming a near-term priority for model improvement.
