The 2026 World Internet Conference (WIC) Wuzhen Summit opened in Zhejiang province on Nov 3, with Chinese Premier Li Qiang delivering a keynote address. At the opening ceremony, AGIBOT received the WIC Distinguished Contribution Award for what the conference described as systematic technological breakthroughs and industrial deployment in embodied AI.

“The endgame of AI lies not in screens and the cloud, but on factory floors and in everyday life,” Zhu Jie, AGIBOT partner and senior vice president, said at the award ceremony. Zhu said competition in embodied AI had moved beyond isolated technology races to a broader contest spanning software-hardware coordination, engineering rollout, industrial organization and governance. AGIBOT would remain pragmatic and work with partners on real-world deployment, Zhu added.

The WIC Distinguished Contribution Award was launched in 2024 to recognise individuals and companies for outstanding contributions in internet-related fields. Over the past two years, it has honoured 12 industry leaders and 26 companies across internet platforms, mobile communications, AI and chip design, according to the conference. The award is intended to spotlight companies that have moved technology into commercial products and generated measurable commercial and social benefits.

AGIBOT says its “three-intelligence-in-one” embodied AI architecture integrates motion, task and interaction intelligence. The company also introduced Worken, which it describes as the first metric dedicated to quantifying physical AI value. Worken measures effective intelligent working hours based on active robot fleet size, autonomous operating duration and output efficiency ratio, according to AGIBOT. The company says the metric is designed to help the sector move from technology concepts toward scalable deployment.

In digital AI, tokens are used to measure large-model consumption and commercial scale. AGIBOT argues that no widely accepted standard has existed for measuring robotic value in physical environments, and says Worken is meant to fill that gap.

AGIBOT says it is advancing deployment through self-developed hardware, its three core intelligence modules and an open-source ecosystem. In-house hardware provides the production base, while motion, task and interaction intelligence are intended to support generalisation across tasks, the company says. Its open ecosystem is aimed at making robotic work value measurable, capabilities cumulative and deployments scalable.

The company says its robots have been deployed in manufacturing, retail, hospitality and cultural tourism. G2 robots operate on Longqi manufacturing lines; X2 robots serve Aishida stores nationwide; A3 robots are deployed at Shangri-La hotels; and AGIBOT’s full lineup is active at Hengqin Chimelong Spaceship Park.

AGIBOT said the award recognised its technology roadmap and industrial execution. It will continue to balance open technology sharing with commercial rollout and work with global partners to turn physical AI from laboratory demonstrations into daily value across industries.

  • China's RoboScience raises several hundred million yuan in Series A2 round

    RoboScience, a Beijing-based embodied AI startup, said it has completed a Series A2 funding round worth several hundred million yuan. The company will use the proceeds to deepen work in embodied AI, support continued iteration and upgrades of its large models, advance proof-of-concept validation and scaled deployment in logistics, retail and industrial scenarios, and expand its senior talent pool. Founded in 2024, RoboScience focuses on general-purpose embodied AI models and robot bodies.

  • Tsinghua, Infinigence AI and AGIBOT test collective learning on 96-robot fleet

    A team from Tsinghua University, Infinigence AI and AGIBOT has proposed a new paradigm called Collective Experience Learning (CEL) and validated it at scale on a fleet of 96 real robots, the team said. CEL allows robots to learn not only from human demonstrations but also from the successful experience of other robots in the group. When a robot encounters difficulties during a task, it can draw on peers' past experience to find solutions and improve its performance, according to the team. By sharing and accumulating experience, the robot fleet can improve its capabilities collectively through continued practice, which the team says could support autonomous robot evolution and scaled deployment.

  • Unitree A2 wins inaugural Mount Tai robot mountain-climbing race

    The inaugural China Media Group (CMG) World Robot Mount Tai Mountain-Climbing Competition kicked off in Tai'an, Shandong province. Beijing Lingyi Technology, a Unitree Robotics subsidiary, won the legged-robot speed race with its Unitree A2 quadruped robot. The machine completed the course in 41:41, but a two-minute penalty gave it an official time of 43:41. Operating fully autonomously, the A2 relied on real-time perception and decision-making to navigate the mountain's uneven stone steps steadily and swiftly.

  • China computing suppliers dismiss fears of big tech AI spending cuts

    Rumours of weaker AI demand among major tech firms have stoked market worries over AI spending growth, but players in the computing supply chain say they see no signs of pullback and hold ample order backlogs.

  • DeepSeek Harness team outlines “Super-agent” design for more autonomous AI systems

    The DeepSeek Harness team said in a technical article on its official WeChat account that it has outlined a “Super-agent” design aimed at building more autonomous agent systems. DeepSeek said gains in model capabilities have spurred the emergence of personal agents, but existing mainstream agent designs struggle to support multi-tasking and team collaboration at scale, with multi-task limits tied to human attention. The team said its approach uses a two-tier architecture, event-driven operation, asynchronous multi-channel interaction, separation of storage and computation and an external watchdog to overcome these limits. The system takes over cumbersome session management and context synchronization at the underlying layer, allowing humans to move from execution details to higher-level decision-making and acceptance. DeepSeek said internal Super-agent instances built on the approach are already running continuously, participating in issue reproduction and fixes, code review responses and iteration of DeepSeek Harness itself. When team members report software problems in group chats, the agent can identify potential defects even without being mentioned and try to reproduce the issue and find fixes in the background.
