AgiBot

What AgiBot does

AgiBot designs and builds humanoid robots and the software that runs them. Former Huawei employees Deng Taihua and Peng Zhihui founded the Shanghai-based company in 2023. That is according to a Reuters report carried by The Standard in October 2025. Peng is its president and chief technology officer, according to a company release.

The company's website lists several product lines:

• The A series, including the A2 Ultra, which AgiBot calls a full-size humanoid robot.
• The X series, including the X2 humanoid.
• The Genie G1 and G2, which AgiBot calls universal embodied intelligent robots.
• The D1 line of four-legged robots.
• The C5 commercial cleaning robot.

Reuters said the company also sells data collection tools used to train robot AI models.

Why it matters

Two research firms ranked AgiBot first in humanoid robot shipments for the first half of 2026. The company says a third firm's data does too.

• Smart Analytics Global: about 8,400 units, eWeek reported on August 11, 2026.
• Counterpoint Research: around 9,700 units and a share of over 43%, The Standard reported on August 20.
• IDC: more than 8,600 units and about 35% of the world total, according to AgiBot's own release of September 30.

IDC's public summary gives a world total of close to 25,000 units. It gives no ranking of makers. The 8,600 figure is AgiBot's account of IDC's data.

Shipments are not the same as robots at work. eWeek noted that shipment tables show who can deliver machines, not how reliably those machines perform.
