With 5,000 humanoid robots capacity.


And a technological dispute reminiscent of futuristic movies China is taking rapid steps to overtake or depending on your point of view leave behind the United States in the global humanoid robot race, Chinese startup AgiBot founded by Huawei tech genius Pens Zhihui announced an ambitious goal to produce and deliver up to 5,000 humanoid robots as early as 2025.


The company has made it clear that its mission is not only to compete but to lead the global robotics revolution with robots capable of replacing two humans in specific tasks within industries and services. The startup is also focused on developing humanoid robots equipped with highly advanced artificial intelligence.


Its main model, the Raise A1, measures 1.75 cm tall, weighs 55 kg and is capable of performing detailed tasks such as threading a needle thanks to its AI-powered sensors that interpret audio text and visual data, but the real innovation is in the artificial brain developed by the company.


The G0-1 ​​model significantly improves robbery performance in real tasks, combining scene understanding, detailed action planning and precise execution, using an advanced vision and language technology called “Villa Vision Language Lent Action Go one” to quickly learn just by observing human actions and interacting directly with the environment and achieve tasks such as pouring liquids, pouring drinks and other everyday actions with surprising efficiency.




The main competitor to Elon Musk's Optimus.


To achieve its ambitious goal, the Chinese startup is investing in large facilities, currently located in Lingang New in Shanghai. AgiBot will inaugurate a new factory, increasing its capacity to manufacture more than 400 robots per month. This move places AgiBot directly in competition with Elon Musk's Tesla, whose Optimus robot is now trying to demonstrate its efficiency in real industrial applications. While Musk continues to make promises, the Chinese move forward with practical plans and concrete investments.


And China's bet is no coincidence, only in January and February of this year the country produced more than 1 million service robots and more than 91,000 industrial robots, representing impressive growth year after year, as for humanoid robots experts from around the world agree on one thing, the global market for these machines that imitate us will only continue to grow from now on.

Wide range for different scenarios.


AgiBot plans to introduce these robots in industrial environments, replacing humans in specific tasks to increase productivity and safety at work and in addition to industrial models AgiBot also offers service robots such as the X1 and A2 designed for domestic and commercial scenarios, showing the versatility of these intelligent machines in various sectors of the economy.


In tests, the G0-1 ​​model raised the success rates of tasks performed by robots from 46% to an impressive 78%, demonstrating significant progress in its adaptive capacity. This means that more efficient and reliable robots for use in complex and dynamic environments are already reaching the desired level.


In the long term, AgiBot aims to evolve its humanoid robots into independent agents equipped with general intelligence capable of making complex decisions and dynamically interacting with the world around them, whether in factories, hospitals or even homes without the need for programming or human commands.


With its rapid growth and technological success, the Chinese company already envisions global expansion, potentially challenging other large international initiatives in the robotics sector.
