AGIBOT humanoid robots complete 64 hours of factory work on livestream

Following America’s Figure 03, Chinese robot maker AGIBOT has just completed a six-day livestream of its G2 humanoid robots working autonomously on an active tablet production line.

The robots operated inside Longcheer Technology’s electronics manufacturing facility in Nanchang. For the entire six days, they handled 64,828 individual tasks across quality inspections, defect sorting, and material transport for tablet production.

“By bringing multiple humanoid robots into a real production line and making the process visible over six consecutive days, we wanted to provide a more transparent answer to what embodied AI industrialization actually requires,” said Yao Maoqing, president of AGIBOT’s Embodied AI Business Unit.

AGIBOT’s G2 humanoid completes 64 hours of factory work

AGIBOT said Tuesday the fleet produced 17,625 finished tablet units, logging more than 64 hours of operation and a 99.99% task success rate. 

Reports of successful humanoid deployments in factories are becoming quite too frequent. A few years ago, these robots could barely walk a few meters without stumbling or staggering. 

In May, American humanoid maker Figure AI held a similar endurance test for its Figure 03 humanoid. The robot processed nearly 250,000 packages over 200 continuous hours without a hardware failure. 

On top of this progress, manufacturers are starting to ship out these robots at scale. 

AGIBOT claims 39% of global humanoid shipments

AGIBOT said its 15,000th robot rolled off its own production line and was delivered to Longcheer. It took the Chinese firm roughly a year to scale from 1,000 to 5,000 cumulative units, but only three months to go from 5,000 to 10,000.

The firm claims a 39% share of global shipments of humanoid robots, with China dominating the market. Last year, over 16,000 humanoid robots were deployed around the world, with China accounting for more than 80%.

The biggest vendor was AGIBOT, followed by Unitree, UBTECH, and Leju, as Cryptopolitan reported. The 39% share, which AGIBOT claims would make it the market leader if the figure holds up under independent verification.

In other news, Morgan Stanley expects China’s humanoid shipment to reach 50,000 this year. This was actually an upward review, as Cryptopolitan reported. The Wall Street giant initially predicted 14,000 at the start of the year, then doubled its outlook to 28,000, and recently, 50,000 units.
