AGIBOT has launched the Genie G2 Max, a safety-standard-compliant heavy-duty embodied robot designed to address a long-standing trade-off in industrial handling: heavy-duty equipment struggles with fine tasks, while precision equipment cannot carry large loads. The robot is the third installment in the company’s AI WAVE series, AGIBOT said.
The Genie G2 Max has a single-arm payload of 20 kg, a dual-arm rated payload of 40 kg and a peak dual-arm payload of 50 kg. Its arm repeat positioning accuracy is ≤±0.5 mm. AGIBOT said the robot is the industry’s first heavy-duty embodied robot capable of long-range, multi-task operations.
“Embodied intelligence is not a demo in the lab; its value must be tested on real production lines,” Yao Maoqing, co-founder, co-president and president of AGIBOT’s embodied business system, said during a livestream for the G2 Max launch. He said industrial scenarios demand robots that can carry heavy objects, place workpieces accurately, fit into existing layouts in older factories and coordinate with production equipment and upstream and downstream partners.
The Genie G2 Max will also be showcased at AGIBOT Innovation Day 2026 on Oct. 29, where it will demonstrate heavy-load handling, fine manipulation and round-the-clock stable operation.
The G2 Max integrates heavy-load transfer, fine operation and continuous operation into one device, linking the full pick-transfer-place process. Its 40 kg dual-arm payload covers more than 95% of industrial tote and component handling needs in the market, the company said.
In a mixed-line inbound scenario at a leading Chinese daily-chemical and fast-moving consumer goods production line, the robot achieved 100% material recognition across boxes of different sizes and weights. It completed a full long-process workflow including depalletizing, box opening and feeding, film covering and empty-box recovery.
The G2 Max was designed to be compatible with existing production lines, as plant automation is often hindered by high line and site modification costs. The robot has a vertical operating range of 0.1 meters to 2.5 meters and horizontal coverage of 1.2 meters. A high-precision waist pitch joint allows the body to tilt forward for single-side depalletizing and palletizing, so pallets can be placed directly against walls without reserving 1.5 meters of clearance behind them, according to the company. Low-level picking and high-level stacking can be completed by one machine without additional lifts or auxiliary tooling.
In a leading e-commerce warehousing scenario, the G2 Max connected with an automated storage and retrieval system’s goods-to-person system and worked with existing robots to complete full-box depalletizing and inbound storage as well as empty-tote stacking and recovery. AGIBOT said overall operation success rate exceeded 99%, with 80 totes depalletized and 75 stacked per hour, enabling automation upgrades within the original warehouse layout.
On the Qiyuan T1 production line, the G2 Max is handling a “robot-making-robot” task as a precision handler on the joint assembly line. It moves finished shoulder-joint housings, hip-joint assemblies and other limb-joint components from stacking areas to final assembly stations. These parts have high precision requirements, and slight knocks to mounting surfaces can affect the service life of joint modules, AGIBOT said. The robot uses dual-arm box handling and sub-millimeter placement to complete picking, moving and delivery in one step.
The production line requires one Qiyuan T1 robot to roll off every 2.5 minutes. Zhou Ye, factory director at Huguang Co.’s robot manufacturing plant, said material supply to the joint assembly station must match that takt precisely. “At a 2.5-minute takt, if material supply is late, downstream stations start waiting. The G2 Max’s operating takt is very stable, and its all-day takt curve is almost a straight line,” Zhou said.
AGIBOT said the G2 Max also addresses heavy physical work on night shifts. It uses dual-battery hot-swap and autonomous recharge to support 7×24-hour uninterrupted operation. The robot is designed to industrial safety standards and features 360-degree multimodal protection, including 2D/3D LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, chassis safety bumpers and physical emergency stops.
The G2 Max natively supports AGIBOT’s Genie Studio 2.0 embodied operation platform, which allows customers to carry out task orchestration, simulation validation and fleet operations and maintenance, with on-site adaptation completed in days.
The G2 Max is already running on multiple production lines and continues to improve through coordination with existing industrial equipment and production processes. The company plans to advance iteration and large-scale replication of heavy-duty embodied robots.
