AGIBOT launches heavy-duty embodied robot to combine heavy lifting with precision handling

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...
