The interactive humanoid from China's highest-volume maker, which shipped more humanoids in 2025 than the rest of the industry's flagships combined.
Broader research scope
This is a research record, not a curated recommendation.
The main field guide selects 14 companion robots for deeper review. This entry belongs to a separate 53-record index that also covers industrial, research, and developer systems.
Research summary
What the record says.
The Yuanzheng A2 is the interactive service flagship of AgiBot (Zhiyuan Robotics), the Shanghai company co-founded in 2023 by former Huawei prodigy Peng Zhihui. A2 works receptions, expos and showrooms: a full-size biped with a friendly head, dexterous hands and LLM-driven conversation in Chinese and English.
AgiBot's distinguishing fact is volume. The company shipped more than 5,100 humanoids in 2025, roughly 39 percent global share by one analyst count, and rolled its 10,000th cumulative robot off the line in March 2026. At MWC 2026 it launched a global online store, European rental programs and distribution partnerships, making it one of the most internationally accessible Chinese humanoid vendors.
In November 2025 an A2 set a Guinness World Record by walking 106.286 kilometers on a single journey, a stunt with a point: AgiBot wants the A2 associated with reliability rather than backflips.
