Chinese startup AgiBot said on Monday that the number of humanoids it has manufactured just reached 5,000, hitting a new milestone in its mass production. #Robotics Revolution 🦾🤖🦿 AgiBot’s announcement is the latest example of how Chinese companies are ramping up their production of humanoid robots. Last month, UBTech, another Chinese robot maker, said it had started mass production and delivery of its industrial humanoids. UBTech aims to deliver 500 units by the end of this year. Shanghai-based AgiBot said its humanoids are currently being used in a variety of industries including entertainment, manufacturing and logistics as well as for scientific research. Apart from a full-size humanoid and a half-size humanoid, the company also sells humanoids designed for complex operations in specific industries. AgiBot was founded in 2023 by Zhihui Peng, a former member of Huawei Technologies’ “Genius Youth” program. It is one of a growing number of Chinese startups that are racing to develop more capable humanoids by taking advantage of the country’s vast hardware supply chain and deep talent pool in AI and advanced robotics. gizmochina.com/2025/12/08..
