AGIBOT A2 Ultra: what the full-size humanoid is for

The AGIBOT A2 Ultra is a full-size humanoid, 169 cm tall, built to work among people at human height: greeting visitors at eye level, demonstrating a task, carrying out light handling at a bench, and serving as a research platform. It is not a lifting machine and it is not a machine for a full unattended shift. Both limits are visible in its published figures, and reading them before you book saves the most common disappointment, which is expecting a demonstration robot to behave like a production one.

At 169 cm it meets a standing adult at eye level, which suits a reception or a showroom. It uses the benches, shelves and controls a room already has instead of needing the room rebuilt around it. The hands are force-controlled, with grip strength set per task, and the body carries a 3D LiDAR, RGB-D and fisheye cameras, stereo cameras, a microphone array, force and torque sensors and an IMU. For development teams the software stack is AimRT, which AGIBOT lists as open source, with a 64 GB NVIDIA Jetson Orin board. AGIBOT's VR teleoperation kit fits the A2 Ultra, so an operator can guide the arms while the system records the work.

What the figures allow.

The A2 Ultra weighs 69 kg and has 40 active degrees of freedom, including a six-DoF dexterous hand. It carries about 2 kg per arm and walks at up to 1.2 m/s. Peak knee torque is 270 N·m, and AGIBOT gives ramps of up to 10 degrees. The single 14.4 Ah pack swaps for a charged one, and the machine charges in about 2 hours from an ordinary 110 to 220 V supply. Runtime is the figure to read twice: roughly 3 hours standing, but 1.5 hours or more walking. A robot working a room is walking, so on the lower figure an eight-hour day is a handful of pack changes, and your plan needs a person, a charging point and charged spare packs.

What it is not for, and what is unpublished.

About 2 kg per arm rules out lifting work; the G2 and the A3 publish 5 kg per arm. AGIBOT publishes no operating temperature range for the A2 Ultra and no manipulation success rate, so a wet loading dock or an unrehearsed pick is a question for a trial, not for the spec sheet. There is also no purchase price on this site: the A2 Ultra is quoted. Treat AGIBOT's autonomy claims as intent until your own task has run on your own floor.

The record, read correctly.

The A2 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest journey walked by a humanoid robot: 106.286 km, over four days. It was not continuous. The run took 15 battery swaps and one rest of about 17 hours, and Guinness ratified it as the longest journey walked, not the longest walk without stopping. For a buyer that is the useful reading. It says the swap routine, not the walking, is the thing to design.

How to try one before you buy.

The A2 Ultra is in our rental fleet at 6,500 EUR per week, net of VAT and shipping, and an in-stock unit is with you inside 48 hours of a confirmed booking. A week is the smallest unit billed, so use it for the real task, with a person timing how long the robot walks between pack changes. If a trial leads to an order, we discuss crediting part of the rental against it. For a purchase, a standard configuration takes 12 to 16 weeks from a firm order, with commissioning, an operator briefing and a 12-month warranty handled inside the EU.

Tell us the room, the task and how many hours a day the robot must be moving, and we will say whether the A2 Ultra, the G2 or neither is the right machine.
