How close to a home
AgiBot shipped 5,168 humanoids in 2025, about 39 percent of the market, which makes it the largest maker by volume and the one most often missing from Western coverage.
A full-size bipedal humanoid built for reception work and guided interaction, offered by the day rather than only by sale.
AgiBot, also known as Shanghai Zhiyuan Robotics, leads humanoid shipments and runs a rental model alongside outright sales.
From AgiBot’s own A2 page: 169 cm, 69 kg, more than 40 active degrees of freedom, a 700 Wh swappable battery for about two hours, 60 cm turning radius. Positioned as an interactive service robot for reception, exhibition halls, retail guidance and customer service. AgiBot lists A2 Ultra, A2 Lite and a wheeled A2-W in the same family, and an A3 above it.
