AGIBOT
AGIBOT builds general-purpose embodied robots — full-size humanoids, agile bipeds, quadrupeds and dexterous hands — alongside Genie Studio, a full-stack platform for collecting robot data, training foundation models, running simulation and deploying policies onto real machines.
What is AGIBOT?
AGIBOT — known on its Chinese-language site as Zhiyuan Robotics — is a Shanghai company that designs, manufactures and sells general-purpose embodied robots together with the software stack that makes them useful. It was founded in February 2023 by a team drawn from Huawei and other technology leaders, and it states its mission as creating unlimited productivity via intelligent machines.
The hardware catalogue spans four families. The A series covers full-size humanoids: A2 Ultra, which holds a Guinness World Record for the longest distance walked by a humanoid robot at 106.286 km and claims CR, CE-MD, CE-RED and FCC certification; A2 Lite for stage and performance work; A2-W for flexible manufacturing; and the newer A3. The X series offers 25 to 30 degrees of freedom and multimodal interaction combining vision, voice, touch and facial expression, with LiDAR and RGB-D navigation reserved for the X2 Ultra. The G series targets industrial work: G2 is built from 100% automotive-grade components, rated IP42, and performs sub-millimetre assembly under force control. Alongside them sit the D1 quadrupeds, the C5 commercial cleaning robot and the OmniHand dexterous hands.
The software half matters as much. Genie Studio is an all-in-one development platform for embodied intelligence: template-driven data collection, a distributed pipeline for cleaning and validating that data, training and fine-tuning on integrated open models such as RDT, Pi0, OpenVLA and GR00T plus AGIBOT's own GO-1 foundation model, a simulation suite with more than 8,000 assets and over 100 evaluation tasks, and one-click deployment from cloud to physical machine. AIDEA supplies the data side — collection robots, MoCap and VR teleoperation rigs, fine-grained tagging and human review. Link-U OS, released as open source, is the embodied operating layer: the in-house AimRT middleware speaking ROS2 messages, Bazel builds, Docker environments, MuJoCo and Isaac Gym toolchains, PPO training and Sim2Sim to Sim2Real transfer.
AGIBOT also publishes openly. The X1 humanoid ships with downloadable BOM, STEP and SolidWorks files plus inference and training code on GitHub, and the AGIBOT World dataset is mirrored on Hugging Face. Robots are sold directly through a global online store with published prices in US dollars, while the AGIBOT Go mobile app handles pairing, control, health monitoring and OTA firmware updates.

When to use AGIBOT / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if AGIBOT is the right fit.
When to use AGIBOT
- Embodied-AI and robotics research teams that need real-world manipulation data, a simulation suite and a path to physical deployment in one place
- Manufacturers automating precision assembly and flexible production lines with the A2-W and G2 industrial robots
- Operators of public-facing venues — exhibition halls, showrooms, hotels, resorts — using humanoids for reception, guided tours and human-like interaction
- Event, entertainment and brand teams booking robots for stage performance, promotional appearances and IP-customised brand ambassadors
- Universities, labs and technical schools building courses on the open-source X1 platform, the X2 EDU and D1 Edu units and the Link-U OS toolchain
When not to use AGIBOT
- Anyone looking for a software-only AI service: the cheapest entry point is a USD 3,200.00 hardware purchase, and humanoids run past USD 44,000.00
- Teams that need a free tier or a trial before committing — AGIBOT offers neither
- Developers who want to integrate a hosted AI through a documented public API: none is published on the site
- Buyers outside Chinese business hours or without Chinese-language support, since the service hotline runs 9 a.m.–9 p.m. UTC+8 in Chinese only
- Organisations whose data policy forbids personal data being stored on United States servers with occasional access by technical staff in mainland China
How to use AGIBOT
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Identify the right family on the product pages: A series humanoids, X series interactive robots, G series industrial units, D1 quadrupeds, C5 cleaning robot or OmniHand end effectors
- Check the published price on the global online store, where eight references carry a public figure in US dollars and the rest are quoted on request
- Order directly from the store, or submit the business cooperation form with your company, country, product of interest and application scenario
- Expect the sales team to come back within five working days to confirm the order details
- For the software platforms — Genie Studio, AIDEA and the data service — go through the same commercial contact, since no self-service sign-up or price is published
- Install the AGIBOT Go mobile app from the App Store, or download the Android package directly from the site, to pair the robot and control it
- Learn the AimMaster client, which AGIBOT presents as masterable in five minutes, and use the Linksoul platform to customise the knowledge base, wake words, persona, voice and greeting
- Read the Document Center for quick-start guides, user manuals, packing lists, after-sales guides and tutorial videos
- For development work, pull Link-U OS and the X1 repositories from GitHub, build with Bazel in the supplied Docker environment and iterate in MuJoCo or Isaac Gym before going to the real robot
- For support, write to AfterSalesService@agibot.com or call the hotline, with the serial number, a fault description and proof of purchase to hand
Pros & Cons
Pros
- A genuinely full stack — hardware, embedded OS, data platform, foundation model and deployment tooling come from the same vendor
- Public prices in US dollars on a worldwide online store, which very few humanoid manufacturers offer
- Reliability claims backed by figures: over a thousand units deployed, 5,100 hours of walking tests, 1,300 hours of continuous walking without incident and a 92-point inspection process
- International certifications claimed for the A2 Ultra: CR, CE-MD, CE-RED and FCC, plus iF and Red Dot design awards in 2025
- Substantial open-source releases that are actually downloadable: X1 hardware and code, Link-U OS, the AimRT framework and the AGIBOT World dataset
- Standard ecosystem compatibility through ROS2, MuJoCo, Isaac Gym, Docker, Bazel, GitHub and Hugging Face
- Visible security and privacy governance: dated vulnerability advisories, named subprocessors, an EEA representative and a data protection officer
Cons
- A high entry ticket: USD 3,200.00 for the cheapest quadruped, USD 24,240.00 for an X2 and USD 44,560.00 for an A2 Lite
- Several flagship models — A2 Ultra, A3, A3 Ultra, X2 Ultra, G1, G2, C5, D1 Max and D1 MaxPro — carry no public price at all
- No free plan, no trial and no documented public API
- Genie Studio and AIDEA pricing is not published, so software budgets require a sales conversation
- Personal data is stored on United States servers, with occasional access by technical staff located in mainland China
- No published DPA and no documented opt-out from model training
- Phone support is Chinese-language only on UTC+8 hours, and the Link-U OS quick-start guide points to a Chinese-language index

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how AGIBOT handles your data.
GDPR overview
GDPR is addressed explicitly. Section XII of the privacy policy opens a dedicated EU/EEA block stating that where AGIBOT is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation, specific rules apply. An Article 27 representative in the EEA is named — William S, reachable at William@agibot.com — and a data protection officer is designated, reachable via Jérôme DEROULEZ at privacy@agibot-global.com. Transfers outside the EEA are covered either by verifying an adequate level of protection at the recipient or by EU standard contractual clauses, and an overview of those safeguards can be requested. The policy lists access, objection, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent, complaint to a regulator and freedom from automated decision-making. Separate sections cover the CCPA/CPRA, Singapore's PDPA, Hong Kong's PDPO, Korea's PIPA and Japan. No DPA is published, and no model-training opt-out is documented.
Who owns the data?
The AGIBOT entity acting as data controller depends on the buyer's jurisdiction: AGIBOT PTE. LTD. in Singapore and for all other countries and regions, Agibot K.K. for Japan and Korea, and AgiBot Innovation (HongKong) Technology Co., Limited for Hong Kong SAR. The website and online store are operated by AGIBOT Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. Personal data may be shared with group affiliates, business partners, service providers and, where legally compelled, public authorities. Named processors include Alibaba Cloud (Singapore) Private Limited, Amazon Web Services, Inc., Shopify Inc. and Zhiyuan Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. The privacy policy in force since 30 April 2026 states that personal data is never used for automated decision-making or profiling.
Reuse rights
Nothing in the published terms grants the end user a licence to reuse AGIBOT's own material. The store terms state that the Services — trademarks, text, images, graphics, product reviews, video and audio, and their selection and arrangement — are owned by AGIBOT, its affiliates or licensors. Feedback submitted by a customer is a different matter: sending it grants AGIBOT a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute and display it in any medium, including commercially. The open-source releases are the exception that does travel the other way: the X1 design files, the inference and training code, Link-U OS, the AimRT framework and the AGIBOT World dataset are published on GitHub, Hugging Face and cloud drives for reuse under their own licences. Personal data itself is governed by the privacy policy, which grants access, rectification, erasure and portability rights rather than a reuse right.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
AGIBOT states that personal data is stored on servers located in the United States, and that users accessing the services from elsewhere have their data transferred to and processed there. In exceptional circumstances, technical staff located in the People's Republic of China may be engaged for troubleshooting, technical support and service improvement, with access limited to what is strictly necessary. Cross-border transfers rely on verifying an adequate level of protection at the recipient or on EU standard contractual clauses, and an overview of those safeguards can be requested. The named cloud processors are Alibaba Cloud (Singapore) Private Limited and, for the online store, Amazon Web Services, Inc.; the store itself runs on Shopify Inc., registered at 151 O'Connor Street Ground Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K2P 2L8, Canada. Zhiyuan Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. is disclosed as the affiliate handling technical support. No hosting region is named beyond the country itself.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting AGIBOT.
- Personal data is stored on United States servers and may be accessed by technical staff in mainland China, a combination that several European and public-sector data policies will not accept without review
- No data processing agreement is published and no opt-out from model training is documented, so a buyer cannot contractually pin down either point from the website alone
- The published security advisory for an unauthenticated MQTT service on the X2 Ultra is a reminder that a networked humanoid is an attack surface: keep firmware current and segment the network
- A robot that walks, lifts and manipulates objects among people carries physical risk; the wireless emergency stop shipped with the A2 Ultra exists for a reason and should never be treated as optional
- Humanoids designed for reception and performance use facial recognition and proactive greeting, which raises consent and biometric questions wherever they are deployed in public
- Delegating repetitive physical and interactive work to robots can erode the practical skills of the staff who used to do it, and the operational knowledge that came with them
- Several headline models carry no public price and the software platforms none at all, so total cost of ownership is easy to underestimate at the enthusiasm stage
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Two very different levels. Out of the box, a robot ships ready to run — body, charger, battery pack, wireless emergency stop and remote — and AGIBOT presents the AimMaster client as masterable in five minutes, with the AIDEA MoCap rig ready to use in the same time. Going further is a genuine engineering project: Link-U OS expects Bazel builds, Docker environments, cross-compilation from x86_64 to aarch64, ROS2, MuJoCo or Isaac Gym and PPO training, with scenario fine-tuning quoted at 48 GPU-days. The documentation index for Link-U OS is in Chinese.

Should you pick AGIBOT?
AGIBOT is a robot manufacturer first and a software vendor second, and that shapes who should be reading this page. If you buy, programme or deploy physical robots, the proposition is unusually complete: a hardware line that runs from a USD 3,200.00 quadruped to full-size humanoids with international certifications, an open-source embedded operating system, a data factory, a proprietary foundation model and a development platform that carries a policy from collected trajectories through simulation to a one-click deployment on the real machine. Very few competitors offer all of that under one roof, and fewer still publish prices in US dollars on a store anyone can open.
The reservations are equally concrete. The entry ticket is a capital purchase, not a subscription. Several flagship models and both software platforms carry no public price, so real budgets only emerge after a sales conversation. There is no documented public API, no free tier and no trial. Phone support runs on Chinese business hours in Chinese. And on the data side, personal information sits on United States servers with occasional access from mainland China, with no published data processing agreement and no documented way to exclude data from model training — points a European buyer will want to raise before signing.
What earns trust is the evidence AGIBOT does publish: dated vulnerability advisories with fixed versions, named subprocessors, an Article 27 representative and a data protection officer, downloadable hardware design files and a public dataset. Treat the funding and ownership figures circulating elsewhere with caution — none of them come from AGIBOT — but the engineering claims are, unusually for this market, checkable.
