Agibot A2 Ultra

What it's for

The AgiBot A2 Ultra is a humanoid that the manufacturer describes in exceptional detail, and to which it has assigned no price. It is 169 cm tall, weighs 69 kg and has 40 degrees of freedom: neck 2 DOF, 7 DOF in each arm, 6 in the legs and 6 in each hand. The knees generate up to 270 Nm at peak, so the build has spare strength for dynamic movement. The payload is a modest 2 kg, walking speed is 1.2 m/s, and the battery (14.4 Ah) allows about 3 hours of work in place or at least 1.5 hours of walking; charging takes 2 hours, and hot-swapping the battery is rare even among more expensive competitors. Senses: 3D LiDAR, RGB-D, RGB and “fisheye” cameras and a microphone array. Computing is handled by a 16-core processor or, in the performance version, an NVIDIA Jetson Orin 64G module (NVIDIA Jetson). Where it fits: the data points to factories and logistics: light station tasks, handling parts up to 2 kg, visual quality inspection. For a university the robot makes sense as a platform for research into two-handed manipulation, thanks to its rich hands and sensing. At events it impresses just with its body proportions. Speaking for warehouses are hot-swap and LiDAR; against it, the 2 kg payload, which rules out carrying cartons. General background is in “Humanoid Robots in Factories 2026”.

Who it's for

YES: for industrial integrators planning a pilot with a Chinese manufacturer; for research teams working on two-handed manipulation and whole-body control; for R&D departments at large plants that want to compare the A2 with better-known Western designs; for market watchers.

NO: for companies that must have a price and a delivery date, since the price is not public and AgiBot has no confirmed commercial presence in Poland; for those who want to carry heavy loads, because 2 kg is light-part territory; for procurement departments requiring in-country service; for users working in a facility with export and cybersecurity restrictions, since before connecting a robot with cameras and LiDAR to the network you have to go through “Data Security: Robots with Cameras and the GDPR”.

Deployments

In the company's history: July 2025, the completion of its first industrial deployment and the release of the Lingqu OS operating system (no customer details). The uses of the A2 platform in our catalog are manufacturing and logistics. On the Polish market: we cover Chinese humanoids in “Chinese Humanoid Robots” and Polish robotics companies in “Polish Robotics Companies”.

AgiBot A2: the same height, mass and number of degrees of freedom (169 cm, 69 kg, 40 DOF), with a starting price of USD 54,999 (about PLN 213,200 (≈ EUR 48,770) after conversion). A good reference point for the A2 Ultra, though it is not its price list.

AgiBot A2 Lite: a leaner variant (23 DOF, 63 kg, 1.5 kg payload), about PLN 172,700 (≈ EUR 39,500) after conversion; for research.

Unitree H2: 180 cm, 70 kg, 31 DOF, from about PLN 115,900 (≈ EUR 26,510) after conversion; available through Polish sales channels and with a much larger user base.

Fourier GR-3: 165 cm, 71 kg and 55 DOF, aimed at care and rehabilitation; no price listed.

AgiBot (Zhiyuan Robotics) was founded in February 2023 in Shanghai by former Huawei engineers Peng Zhihui and Deng Taihua. In August 2023 the company showed the RAISE A1, its first industrial humanoid, and in January 2024 it opened a production plant in Shanghai. In August 2024 it introduced five models, including the A2, A2-Max and A2-W. Mass production began in December 2024 (962 units built by 15 December), and in January 2025 the thousandth robot rolled off the line. In March 2025 the company released the GO-1 foundation model. In November 2025 an A2 humanoid covered about 106 km from Suzhou to Shanghai in three days, earning a Guinness record. Company profile: AgiBot (it also appears as AgiBot).
