AGIBOT hosted the Australia and New Zealand AGIBOT Partner Conference (APC) 2026 in Melbourne on July 17, 2026, launching a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model and a suite of industry-specific embodied AI solutions for the two markets1,2.

The conference centered on building a professional partner ecosystem to accelerate commercial deployment of embodied AI across Australia and New Zealand. AGIBOT and its local ecosystem partners jointly launched Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS), a model designed to make advanced humanoid robots more accessible without requiring large upfront investment. Alongside the RaaS rollout, AGIBOT and partners introduced scenario-based application solutions targeting mining, commercial cleaning, research and education, and cultural entertainment.

"Australia and New Zealand are important markets in AGIBOT's international business," said Abel Deng, President of the Middle East and Asia Pacific Region at AGIBOT. "We are working closely with local commercial and technology partners to adapt solutions to specific customer needs and support safe, reliable and commercially sustainable deployments. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our local service network and co-innovation initiatives to accelerate adoption and ensure long-term value for our partners in the region".

Peter, founder of P&E family office, said he is delighted to deepen the firm's partnership with AGIBOT, describing the company's robots as designed to deliver real productivity.

AGIBOT's A3 debuted in the region at the conference. The company's portfolio spans humanoid robots, quadrupeds, dexterous systems, and commercial cleaning solutions. AGIBOT describes its technical architecture as "Three Intelligences in One," integrating Locomotion Intelligence, Interaction Intelligence, and Manipulation Intelligence into a unified embodied system.

AGIBOT announced in June 2026 that its 15,000th robot had rolled off the production line.

ANALYSIS The Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, designed to eliminate large upfront investment, represents an attempt to lower adoption barriers by shifting the cost structure toward operational expenditure rather than capital expenditure on robotics hardware. The vertical-specific solutions — mining, cleaning, education, entertainment — suggest AGIBOT is targeting sectors where labor costs or safety considerations could drive demand for embodied AI in Australia and New Zealand.
