🇨🇳 AgiBot

About AgiBot

AgiBot (智元机器人) was founded in February 2023 in Shanghai by Peng Zhihui, known as “Zhihui Jun” in the Chinese maker community for his viral DIY robotics videos on Bilibili before he was recruited by Huawei’s HiSilicon division.

Product line

• Raise A1, full bipedal humanoid. 1.75 m tall, 53 kg, 5 kg payload per arm
• Raise A2, wheeled-base humanoid (wheels on bottom, torso on top). Faster than walking for warehouse work
• X1, developer platform targeted at universities and research institutions

EI-Brain system

AgiBot’s AI stack has three layers:

1. Manipulation policy, imitation learning from demonstration video
2. Task planner, decomposes instructions into subtasks
3. Foundation model, likely Alibaba’s Qwen under the hood, for natural language understanding

AgiBot C5, expansion into cleaning robots

Beyond humanoids, AgiBot also ships the C5, a commercial autonomous floor scrubber for malls, airports, and factories:

• 90 L clean water tank
• 1,980 m²/hr cleaning rate
• Laser + Vision fusion positioning
• 4-minute wastewater tank self-clean cycle
• Full-service docking station (charge + refill + drain + tank clean)

Real deployments (2025–2026)

• SAIC Motor (Shanghai), Raise A1 in EV assembly lines
• BYD, pilot project at battery pack facility
• JD Logistics, piloting Raise A2 in warehouses
