AGIBOT disclosed on October 29 that its general-purpose AI robots reached cumulative production of 20,000 units in the first half of 2026, generating revenue of nearly 2 billion yuan (approximately $300.7 million) and capturing a 43% share of the global humanoid robot market2. Co-founder, president and CTO Peng Zhihui presented the figures at AGIBOT Innovation Day 2026 at the Shanghai World Expo Center.
Worken and the productivity gap
Alongside the production numbers, Peng Zhihui introduced Worken, a proposed framework for measuring how much productive work robots perform once deployed1,6. The name combines "Work" and "Token," and AGIBOT describes the unit as effective intelligent work hours. Under the proposal, Worken equals the number of active robots multiplied by autonomous working hours and by an output-efficiency ratio5. The efficiency component scores output against a reference benchmark for a defined task, such as the amount of acceptable work a human worker completes under established operating standards. Peng Zhihui stressed that the number of robots rolled off the line does not equal real productivity and that stable deployment remains an industry-wide challenge. AGIBOT said Worken is still being developed and will be refined using data from real-world deployments.
ANALYSIS By tying its own market-share claim to a metric that penalizes idle or underperforming units, AGIBOT is framing deployment quality rather than unit volume as the competitive benchmark.
Platform and model stack
The event doubled as a product showcase. AGIBOT unveiled AHA3, its third-generation integrated hardware platform combining locomotion, interaction and task execution with integrated computing, high-speed connectivity and a liquid-cooling system. The company debuted GO-3 Preview, a next-generation embodied AI foundation model designed to combine reasoning, prediction and action, which AGIBOT said is intended to help robots anticipate the effects of their actions and adapt to changing environments. AGIBOT also showcased WITA-Omni 1.0, an omni-modal interaction model that combines vision, speech, real-time dialogue, facial expressions and physical movement, with support for on-device operation.
On the hardware side, AGIBOT formally launched G2 Max, a heavy-duty industrial robot with 21 degrees of freedom and a dual-arm handling capacity of up to 40 kilograms, targeting manufacturing, logistics and material-handling work. The company released Link-U OS 1.0, an operating system connecting robot hardware with higher-level AI applications, to selected partners and plans to make it fully open source by the end of 2026. AGIBOT announced it will build a humanoid robot open-source community with the OpenAtom Foundation, to which it donated the Link-U OS project as a platinum-level sponsor.
Deployment footprint
AGIBOT pointed to existing deployments of its G2 family in tablet manufacturing, semiconductor packaging and testing, CNC machine tending and logistics, as well as service deployments at Guangzhou Metro and the Chimelong tourism complex. The company said its ecosystem now includes 255 universities, 511 companies and more than 80,000 developers.
The disclosures arrive as capital in China rotates toward robotics. The STAR50 index has fallen roughly 40% in under four months even as robotics names surge[1], and Toyota recently committed $6.4 billion annually to factory robots while launching a humanoid spinoff[3]. AGIBOT, founded in 2023 as Zhiyuan Xinchuang Technology Co., is based in Shanghai.
