CES has been a showcase for robotics, from lawn mowers to vacuum cleaners, but 2026 may be remembered as the year robotic humanoids finally became a commercial reality. AGIBOT , a robotics company with thousands of humanoids deployed globally, used the Las Vegas stage to launch its entire product lineup in the U.S. market.
The announcement centers on a strategic portfolio approach: three distinct robot series the A2, X2, and G1, but each engineered for specific roles, from engaging in public interactions to heavy industrial work.
A Trio of Specialists, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Future
AGIBOT’s debut challenges a couple of prevalent but misnomers in the industry. One is the idea that a single universal humanoid is capable of all tasks. Rather, AGIBOT is betting that different form factors and capabilities will serve different needs. Second is the robotics industry’s maturity. The reality is that most humanoid robots are in prototype and pilot phases.
AGIBOT A2 Series on the other hand is deploying to the mass market with a full-sized humanoid built to human scale at roughly 5’6” and 152 lbs. Its socialization, multimodal interactions and autonomous navigation capabilities are a few key features. Driven by a multilingual large language model, A2 is capable of conversation or banter, making it highly personable. But an expressive face screen that’s capable of eleven emotive expressions, but also synchronized with over 100 gestures, adds the extra flair, and is suited for use within showcases at hotels, and guided presentations.
The more compact X2 (4’ tall, 79 lbs) is designed to be customized. It serves as a primary platform for universities and developers, featuring open APIs for software control and a modular hardware design. Components like end-effectors can be swapped. For example, standard hands can be replaced with the adaptive OmniPicker gripper. It shares the A2’s advanced sensor suite for navigation but is packaged for research and tailored application development. However, it’s also designed to also be a highly talented dancer. With a high degree of movement throughout its body, AGIBOT X2 Series can interact with people naturally, and walks with a gait that’s reminiscent of a human’s stride making it for a highly adept dancer, as showcased at CES.
The G1 Series offers a solution for enterprise or industrial use cases and is not only rugged, but stands two meters tall built with automotive-grade components and can grip a 3kg single-arm payload. But what stands out is its ability to operate tasks, like picking up and folding clothes or playing tic-tac-toe, fully autonomously.
A Unified Backbone that Trains Robots
But the hardware is just one part of the equation. Under the hood, this diverse family of humanoids are tied together by a common training architecture for robots . Without the training, robots are simply just empty shells. With AGIBOT, skills and behaviors learned on one robot platform can be transferred to others.
Unlike many CES robotics exhibitors, AGIBOT is past the concept-stage. The company revealed that it’s already produced and deployed over 5,000 humanoid robots across manufacturing, logistics, education, and entertainment sectors internationally. Its US launch at CES 2026 positions it as a commercial-ready contender in the rapidly evolving embodied AI space, aiming to place robots as practical collaborators alongside people.
“Bringing our full robotics portfolio to CES marks a defining moment for AGIBOT,” said Dr. Yao Maoqing, Partner at AGIBOT, Senior Vice President, and President of the Embodied Business Unit. “It demonstrates how we are able to build an ecosystem of humanoid robots, not for a single task or setting, but for a future where embodied intelligence can serve people across industries, environments, and everyday life.”
