Pricing
AgiBot does not publish a list price for the A2. Third-party listings estimate roughly $100,000 and up depending on configuration, with higher figures for the A2-Max and the industrial A2-W. Treat these as estimates rather than vendor pricing.
AI & autonomy
The A2 runs AgiBot’s in-house stack: the Genie Operator (GO-1) embodied foundation model plus a multimodal interaction layer on the company’s AimRT runtime, supporting full-duplex conversation and high-reliability face wake-up.
Deployment & traction
AgiBot was the number-one humanoid shipper of 2025 with 5,168 units (Omdia), producing its 5,000th robot in 2025 and its 10,000th in March 2026. It is preparing a 2026 Hong Kong IPO at a targeted HK$40–50bn (~$5.1–6.4bn) valuation. The A2 set a Guinness World Record in November 2025 for the longest humanoid walk (106.286 km). Siblings include the higher-performance Expedition A3 and the compact Lingxi X2 generalist.
