What it does

A Shanghai company, also known as Zhiyuan Robotics, founded in 2023. It builds a wide range of robots, including full-size humanoids, wheeled-legged machines, quadrupeds and robotic hands, together with its own embodied foundation models.

Why it matters

AgiBot is the most vertically integrated of the Chinese humanoid companies, building both bodies and brains, and it has moved fastest on getting units out of the lab. It is also pursuing a listing through a reverse merger, which would make it one of the first embodied AI companies with public accounts that outsiders can read.

How it makes money

Industrial, logistics, commercial-service and education customers buy its robots; it also sells data and development platforms for embodied AI.
