Agibot A2 Humanoid Robot w/ Advanced AI

The AGIBOT A2 is a 175 cm tall, 55 kg humanoid robot developed by the Chinese company AGIBOT, designed for industrial and service applications with advanced AI, precision navigation, and modular features. The Agibot A2 achieves 19 degrees of freedom in its dexterous hand, enabling tasks like threading a needle and unpacking deliveries. A2's dual arms, each with 7 degrees of freedom, provide industrial-grade accuracy in repetitive tasks. The A2 robot’s AimRT communication framework surpasses ROS in performance and stability, while its MEMS-based multimodal sensing enhances tactile sensitivity by 23% over industry norms, according to Agibot's tests in August, 2024. The A2 operates for 2 hours continuously on a full charge with a maximum walking speed of 3.3 m/s and a payload capacity of 15 kg. The robot integrates seamlessly into workflows for tasks like assembly line automation, crop health monitoring, and warehouse inventory management. The Agibot's A2 modular design allows customization for specific needs, such as the A2-W wheeled variant for flat terrain or the heavy-duty A2-Max for industrial lifting.

Agibot A2 AI Humanoid Robotics Capabilities

The AGIBOT A2 features 40+ active degrees of freedom (DOF), enabling advanced dexterity and human-like movement. It integrates HIMUS 3D-SLAM and VectorFlux planning algorithms, achieving L4-level autonomous mobility with low latency and minimal drift in dynamic environments. The robot's integrated joints deliver a peak torque of 512Nm, ensuring stable operation for thousands of hours. Multi-modal interaction capabilities include real-time dialogue powered by large language models, facial recognition with 96% accuracy, and lip-reading with a 99% face wake-up rate. Agibot A2's ActionGPT generates natural movements based on voice commands, supporting light operational tasks. The Agibot A2 Robot includes advanced peripherals for interaction, such as an interactive screen, RGBD camera, fisheye camera, speaker, microphone, and force/torque sensors, which enhance precision and usability. The robot's walking and trajectory planning leverage RTMOF (Real-Time Robust Motion Framework) for dynamic path optimization and utilize reinforcement learning algorithms to generate globally optimal trajectories in unstructured environments, ensuring agile and reliable movement. The Agibot A2's safety is ensured through 360° Lidar, six high-definition cameras for obstacle detection, and a three-layer safety monitoring system achieving PLd-level protection.

The AGIBOT A2 series includes 3 distinct robots designed for unique purposes. Firstly, the AGIBOT A2, optimized as an Interactive Service Robot, excels in human-robot interaction scenarios like customer service and guidance. Secondly, the AGIBOT A2-W, a Flexible Manufacturing Robot, specializes in precise industrial tasks with its dual-arm capabilities. Thirdly, the AGIBOT A2-Max, a Heavy-Duty Special-Purpose Robot, is built for demanding operations requiring high payload capacity and robust performance. Below is a comparison of the 3 versions.

Agibot A2 Humanoid Robot Operation and Controls

The Agibot A2 uses AimRT, a lightweight, high-performance runtime framework developed by AGIBOT specifically for modern humanoid robotics, designed to address limitations in existing middleware like ROS2. The AimRT is built using C++20, offering modern resource management, asynchronous programming, and observability features that surpass ROS2's rclcpp/rclpy built on C++17. AimRT framework supports multiple communication protocols, including ROS2, HTTP, gRPC, MQTT, and Zenoh, providing flexibility for edge, cloud, and AI-integrated robotic applications. The framework’s modular design includes plugin interfaces for custom extensions and compatibility with existing systems. AimRT has been tested internally for over a year and is now open-source on GitHub.

AimRT’s codebase is under 50,000 lines compared to ROS2's ~200,000 lines, making it lightweight and easier to deploy across diverse operating systems like Windows and Linux. AimRT supports RPC and Topic communication models natively while maintaining compatibility with ROS2 ecosystems through plugins. For example, an AimRT node with a ROS2 Humble plugin can function as a native ROS2 node while benefiting from AimRT's enhanced performance. Official benchmarks indicate that AimRT reduces latency by up to 30% in multi-node communication scenarios compared to ROS2 DDS implementations.

AGIBOT A2's control system incorporates advanced algorithms for bipedal locomotion and manipulation. The robot dynamically adjusts its center of mass and foot placement to maintain stability and agility on uneven terrain or while carrying loads. Its dual arms, each with 7 degrees of freedom (DOF), utilize force-position hybrid control for industrial-grade precision in repetitive tasks. Operators can interact with the robot via an intuitive interface supporting manual control, pre-programmed routines, or autonomous operation. Developers are provided with comprehensive SDKs and APIs for custom application development.

Additionally, AgiBot has released AgiBot World, a large-scale humanoid manipulation dataset designed to enable advanced multi-purpose robotic policies and accelerate collaboration between research in STEM and industrial applications.

Agibot Platform Applications

The AGIBOT A2 series have been deployed across more than 10 industries. The Agibot A2 was used in marketing, customer service, and guidance roles, including tasks such as front desk reception and business inquiries. For example, the A2 was deployed in a 4S car dealership to serve as a salesperson, providing product explanations and answering inquiries from customers, thanks to its cutting-edge AI.

The Agibot A2-W model, equipped with wheeled mobility and a 5-hour battery life, has successfully performed tasks that involve manipulating objects, including grasping, workpiece loading, vibratory feeder loading, loading and unloading for quality inspection, process transition, pallet transport and pallet shelving. For example, at the 2024 press event, the A2-W autonomously prepared a custom beverage by combining grape juice and cola using its advanced hand-eye coordination system, showcasing its human-like dexterity, intelligence and sophisticated perception systems.

The Agibot A2-Max has been tested for heavy-duty industrial tasks such as material handling and palletizing; At the 2024 press event, the A2-Max moved a 40 kg aviation box with ease using its dual-arm system with a peak torque of 450 Nm.

Clients such as BYD and SAIC Motor have seamlessly adopted AGIBOT robots for industrial automation and logistics operations, highlighting their reliability and productivity in real-world applications.
