Just posted to my Forbes column about what might be one of the most consequential humanoid robot launches we’ve seen so far.
At CES in Las Vegas, Agibot didn’t just tease concepts—it rolled out a full commercial lineup for the U.S. market. That includes the A2 humanoid for reception and front-of-house roles, the smaller X2 for demos and performances, the G2 industrial humanoid for factories and warehouses, and even the D1 quadruped for outdoor mobility, patrol and load-carrying. And this isn’t theoretical: Agibot says it has already shipped 5,000 robots, marking a real transition from R&D to scaled, real-world deployments.
As one Agibot executive put it, this is about building an entire ecosystem of embodied intelligence that can work across industries and environments—not just a single robot chasing a single use case. It’s a big moment for the humanoid robot market, expanding the still-short list of robots you can actually buy and deploy today, even as big questions remain about long-term productivity versus early-stage visibility.
