AGIBOT made its debut at the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games, securing 18 gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze medals. With 46 medals in total, AGIBOT ranked first on both the gold medal table and the overall medal table. The World Humanoid Robot Games is an international competition designed to test humanoid robots across sports, dexterous manipulation and real-world scenario-based tasks. This year’s events ranged from athletics, martial arts and dance to hotel services, library operations, emergency response and industrial applications. AGIBOT’s medal wins spanned dexterous manipulation, scenario-based tasks and motion-control events, including titles in martial arts, dance and obstacle racing. Notably, AGIBOT’s competition lineup, including OmniHand, G2, A3 and X2, consists of robots already in mass production or deployed in...

RoboScience, a Chinese general-purpose embodied AI company, unveiled its first wheeled humanoid general-purpose robot REX G1 at the 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing, while claiming an industry first by publicly displaying real-time visual reasoning from its cloud-based world model — breaking the long-standing convention of keeping inference processes opaque in public demonstrations. The 22-degree-of-freedom REX G1, which features a dual-arm configuration with a 10 kg payload capacity and repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.1 mm, performed a “lighting conductor” show at the company’s booth. The robot’s operating height ranges from 0.1 to 2.0 meters, with an adjustable width between 540 and 640 mm. World model visualization breaks industry convention At the RoboScience booth, multiple dexterous hands of varying configurations...

Lumos Robotics on Thursday launched its new heavy-duty wheeled-arm embodied intelligence robot Lumos MOS2, targeting real-world industrial scenarios with a 50 kg dual-arm payload capacity and upgrades in mobility, perception, and control architecture. The 1.65-metre-tall robot, which occupies a floor space of roughly 0.5 square metres and requires a passage width of about 0.8 metres, features 22 degrees of freedom, including a two-degree-of-freedom head and an omnidirectional chassis. It is equipped with dual multi-line lidar on the chassis, dual wrist cameras, dual six-axis force sensors, and a binocular camera on the head, with optional top rear lidar and chest depth vision modules. “We are seeing embodied intelligence accelerate into industrial deployment,” said Yu Chao, founder and CEO of Lumos Robotics....

Global humanoid robot shipments reached approximately 19,100 units in the first half of 2026, more than tripling from 5,100 units a year earlier, according to data from U.S.-based market research firm Smart Analytics Global (SAG), with Shanghai-based AGIBOT overtaking Hangzhou-based Unitree to claim the top market share. AGIBOT shipped 8,400 units in the first half of the year, accounting for 44% of global shipments, while Unitree ranked second with 5,900 units, SAG said. Both Chinese companies substantially outsold major U.S. players including Tesla, Figure AI and Agility Robotics, underscoring the rapid development of China’s humanoid robotics industry. SAG, headquartered in California, projects global humanoid robot shipments will reach approximately 60,000 units this year and rise to 500,000 units by 2030....

On April 18, 2026, the Batulu Robotics Challenge concluded successfully in Beijing E-Town. Galileo (Tianjin) Technology fielded two self-developed robot teams: the quadruped Iron Sirius and wheel-legged Iron Tianlong. Competing against top national teams, the firm claimed championships in both divisions, plus Speed and Clearance Awards, topping the elite contest with its proprietary technology. The 2026 Batulu Robotics Challenge simulated real emergency rescue scenarios with 17 tough obstacle courses to test robots’ motion control, all-terrain traversal, rapid response and environmental adaptability, serving as a top domestic testbed for embodied intelligence. Galileo won national championships in both quadruped and wheel-legged robot divisions, marking the first enterprise to claim dual titles in the event’s history. Galileo’s self-developed bionic balance algorithm enables full-range...

AGIBOT, a global leader in embodied AI and robotics, today unveiled four new products at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2026 in Shanghai: the AGIBOT A3 Ultra, X2 Edu, G2 Max, OmniHand 3 Ultra-M. Together, the new products expand AGIBOT’s portfolio across full-size humanoid platforms, heavy-payload industrial task robots and direct-drive dexterous manipulation systems. At its 200-square-meter exhibition space at Booth H3-C101 in the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center, AGIBOT is presenting the three new products alongside its manipulation foundation models, industrial deployment cases and live robot demonstrations. Beyond the booth, more than 60 AGIBOT robots are operating across WAIC venues, providing visitor guidance, information services, demonstrations and other forms of on-site support. “The industry should no longer...

The 2026 World Intelligence Industry Fair themed “Intelligence Empowers the World, Motion Shapes the Future” grandly opened on May 28.As a benchmark enterprise in embodied intelligence, Galileo (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd. set up five innovative exhibition areas and exhibited its full self-developed robot lineup. Its diverse products and cutting-edge technologies wowed attendees and won high recognition from municipal leaders, making it a core highlight in the embodied intelligence track of this fair. Galileo attended five venues at the expo: Tianjin General Exhibition Area, Jinnan Featured Zone, JD Town Real-Scenario Zone, independent brand booth and WIIF Carnival, covering city promotion, regional industry publicity, commercial demonstration, brand display and public entertainment.On-site bionic quadruped robots smoothly executed jumps, climbing and obstacle avoidance.

Recently, Yuanpei Chen, Co-founder and Head of Reinforcement Learning at PsiBot, was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2025 list in the AI category. As one of the few tech entrepreneurs born after 2000 on this year’s list, Chen represents a new generation of innovation and leadership in the field of artificial intelligence. As featured on the official Forbes website: Cofounded by Chen Yuanpei in 2024, Beijing-based PsiBot is developing AI models for robots. The company says its technology can allow multiple robotic arms to make complex movements such as stacking building blocks. Last year, PsiBot raised an undisclosed amount of funding from GL Ventures and Lanchi Ventures. Chen holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the South...

Psi R1 marks the release of the first reinforcement learning–driven Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, successfully demonstrating dexterous, long-horizon task execution in an open-ended Mahjong environment. · Millimeter-Level Dexterous Manipulation: PsiBot’s dexterous hand achieves precise coordination across vision, language, and action modalities—executing human-like movements such as flipping, grasping, and organizing tiles with millimeter-level accuracy. · Human-Robot Interaction and Cognitive Decision-Making: The robot must understand Mahjong rules, interpret evolving game states, and dynamically generate strategies for discarding, melds (Pung/Kong), and reactive play—completing a full pipeline from rule interpretation to real-time reasoning and execution. · Reinforcement Learning–Enhanced Long-Horizon Execution: Validated in the Mahjong scenario, Psi R1 maintains a 30-minute+ Chain of Action Thought (CoAT)—breaking traditional limits of robotic task duration and reasoning continuity in...
