Four new Agibot products, one sentence matters

Agibot launched four products at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on 18 July 2026: the A3 Ultra humanoid, the X2 Edu development platform, the G2 Max heavy-payload industrial robot and the OmniHand 3 Ultra-M dexterous hand. The specifications are below. But the most useful thing said that day was a sentence, not a product.

“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,” said Peng Zhihui, co-founder, president and CTO of Agibot.

That is the standard we would like to be held to as well.

What was launched

A3 Ultra. Full-size humanoid for long-duration public-facing and service work. 1.74 m, 60 kg, 51 active degrees of freedom, 5 kg payload per arm, up to eight hours of combined operating time. Perception via 3D LiDAR, RGB-D, fisheye and binocular vision; positioning fuses GPS, RTK and UWB. NVIDIA Thor for high-level processing. Direct charging, battery swap and autonomous charging.

X2 Edu. A development platform for education, competitions and research. Roughly 1.3 m, 29 degrees of freedom with seven per arm, 3 kg end-effector payload. Fully modular, and — the part that matters for a lab — open motion-control and hardware interfaces for secondary development.

G2 Max. Agibot’s first heavy-payload force-controlled task robot, built for material handling and palletising. Force-controlled arms, adjustable working height, omnidirectional wheeled mobility, battery swap and autonomous charging for continuous production.

OmniHand 3 Ultra-M. Direct-drive dexterous hand: 20 active degrees of freedom in a human-scale form at 630 grams, 5 kg whole-hand grip, 0.3 second open or close, repeatability of ±0.2 mm, vision-based tactile fingertips and a tactile array in the palm.

Alongside the launches, the deployments

Agibot also exhibited industrial work with Longcheer Technology, PIA Automation and other partners: tablet quality-inspection loading and unloading, chip handling, production-line material movement. More than sixty of its robots were operating across the WAIC venues themselves, doing visitor guidance and information services in busy public spaces rather than performing at a booth.

There was a table tennis demonstration and a boxing demonstration too. We keep saying this and we will keep saying it: those are the parts that travel furthest and mean the least.

What it means in the Benelux

Two of the four are directly relevant to work we already do.

X2 Edu is aimed squarely at our education vertical. A modular humanoid with open control interfaces is a materially different proposition for an MBO or university lab than a closed showcase machine: students can take it apart, break it and put it back together, which is the entire point of a teaching platform.

G2 Max addresses the gap our logistics and manufacturing conversations keep running into. The G2 handles precision work well; palletising and heavier material handling have been outside its envelope. A force-controlled heavy-payload variant with adjustable working height changes which stations are worth discussing.

On availability we will be precise, because it matters. Of the A3 line we currently carry the base A3; whether Benelux units ship to the Ultra specification announced in Shanghai is a supply-chain question, not a press-release question, and we confirm it before we quote. The X2 Edu, G2 Max and OmniHand 3 Ultra-M are not in our catalogue, and no European availability date has been announced.

The caveat

A launch is a specification sheet. Every figure above comes from the manufacturer, none of it has been independently measured, and there is a distance between a product announcement in Shanghai in July and a unit on a Benelux floor with a service contract behind it. By Peng’s own standard, the question is not what was shown at WAIC. It is what gets manufactured, delivered and integrated over the next twelve months.
