Key on-screen metrics reported during and after the stream included:
Agibot's central claim was that these robots were operating in a real, active mass-production factory — not a staged lab environment — making the livestream a direct rebuttal to Figure AI's earlier controlled-lab broadcast .
The two companies represent fundamentally different design philosophies for humanoid robots. Agibot's G2 is a purpose-built industrial wheeled robot optimized for factory throughput, while Figure AI's Figure 03 is a more general-purpose bipedal walking platform designed for eventual home use .
| Dimension | Agibot G2 (June 2026) | Figure AI (Earlier 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Venue | Live consumer electronics factory floor (Longcheer, Nanchang) | Lab/headquarters facility (San Jose, CA) |
| Duration | 6 days continuous streaming | 8-hour shift (May 13) and a 200-hour earlier run |
| Task | Tablet inspection, precision fixture insertion, sorting at MMIT stations | Package sorting, sheet-metal parts handling at BMW plant |
| Robot type | Wheeled humanoid (G2) — omnidirectional base | Bipedal walking humanoid (Figure 03) |
| Autonomy | Multi-robot fleet, alongside human workers | Single/multi-robot autonomous shifts with Helix-02 VLA model |
| Commercial deployment | Already deployed in Longcheer's mass-production line since April 2026 | |
| Known throughput | ~310 UPH, 18–20s cycle, 99%+ success |
Key difference: Agibot stressed that its livestream came from a real high-volume manufacturing line already in production, while Figure AI's demonstrations — though technically impressive with bipedal locomotion and the Helix AI model — were conducted in lab or pilot settings . Figure AI's Figure 03 is a bipedal platform with home-use ambitions, whereas the G2 is a wheeled industrial robot optimized for factory throughput .
The G2 is built for industrial-grade precision and continuous operation .
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Height | 180 cm (can lower to ~122.5 cm) |
| Weight | ~185 kg (with batteries) |
| Degrees of Freedom | 26+ total; 7-DoF force-controlled arms |
| Gait type | Wheeled, omnidirectional (not bipedal walking) |
| Max speed | 1.5 m/s |
| Payload capacity | 30 kg |
| Battery life | ~4 hours per charge (1,652 Wh); dual hot-swappable batteries for 24/7 operation |
| Sensors | 3D LiDAR, RGB-D cameras, force-torque sensors, IMU, 360° perception |
| AI integration | Multi-modal perception-to-action stack, VLA model |
| Ingress protection | IP42-rated (dust and splash resistant) |
| Precision | ±0.5mm placement accuracy for fixture insertion |
The G2 uses 7-DoF force-controlled arms with integrated force-torque sensing, allowing it to handle delicate electronics components without damage . It is designed for automotive-grade industrial standards and intended for 24/7 continuous factory operation .
Agibot's manufacturing ramp has been aggressive:
"Deployment Year One" (2026): Agibot's leadership explicitly framed 2026 as the year the company moves from lab demonstrations to large-scale commercial deployment of embodied AI across multiple manufacturing verticals . The Longcheer tablet line is the flagship reference case.
Industry vertical expansion: Prior to the tablet factory deployment, Agibot demonstrated G2 in auto parts production (seatbelt lock cylinder assembly, material handling) and precision task workflows . The company aims to penetrate automotive, consumer electronics, and general manufacturing sectors.
L1–L5 autonomy roadmap: Agibot publicly defined a capability ladder with Level 3 as current state (conditional automation in bounded factory zones), targeting higher levels for less constrained environments .
Data at scale thesis: Agibot has emphasized that high-quality real-world operational data — not just hardware — is the core competitive moat, and is aggressively scaling data collection from deployed production units to feed its AI training pipeline .
Production capability as a differentiator: Having already surpassed 10,000 units produced, Agibot claims a massive manufacturing volume advantage over most competitors, which it argues enables faster iteration cycles and lower per-unit costs .
Global PR battle with Figure AI: The June livestream was explicitly timed and framed as a response to Figure AI's lab-based demos, with Agibot asserting that "real factory deployment" versus "corporate lab demonstration" is the meaningful benchmark for the industry .
The Agibot G2 livestream marked a shift in the humanoid robotics narrative from "can it work?" to "is it working in production?" While Figure AI continues to advance bipedal locomotion and general-purpose AI, Agibot's bet is that the first-mover advantage in real factory throughput — at 310 units per hour with 99%+ reliability — will define the near-term competitive landscape. Whether that bet pays off depends on how quickly both companies can scale and iterate. For now, the cameras in Nanchang showed one version of the future: humanoid robots earning their keep on a live assembly line.
