Humanoid robots to see 'large-scale deployment'

Agibot, a Shanghai-based humanoid robot maker, achieved 15,000 unit production in June 2026 and deployed robots on live manufacturing lines with millimeter-level precision, signaling the transition from pilot validation to large-scale commercial deployment across consumer electronics, semiconductors, automotive, and logistics. The company expects 40,000–50,000 shipments in 2026, with production scaling from 5,000 to 15,000 units in six months driven by China's manufacturing supply chain advantage.
