AGIBOT Sets 2026 ‘Deployment Year One’ After Robots Go Live on Tablet Line

The plan targets rapid scale at Longcheer with an open architecture to speed real-world rollouts.

Overview

  • At its APC 2026 event on Friday, AGIBOT declared 2026 its first large-scale deployment year and introduced AIMA, a full-stack platform for building and rolling out embodied AI, alongside new robot platforms and models.
  • AGIBOT says its wheeled G2 humanoids are now working on Longcheer Technology’s live tablet line in Nanchang, loading and unloading devices at a Multimedia Integrated Testing station that feeds tablets into test fixtures and sorts pass or fail units.
  • Company-reported production metrics include up to 310 units per hour, 19–20 second cycles, a success rate above 99%, 36-hour line integration, and more than 140 hours of continuous operation with under 4% downtime, with no independent audit yet.
  • AGIBOT and Longcheer describe the rollout, confirmed Wednesday in company statements and coverage, as a first large-scale use of embodied AI in core consumer-electronics workflows, with AGIBOT targeting 100 robots at Longcheer by Q3 2026 and expansion into automotive and chipmaking.
  • The G2’s wheeled base and force-controlled arms suit fast, repeatable factory tasks without custom tooling, which could shift work from fixture redesign to software updates and human tending, though open questions remain on long-term wear, failure handling, and performance on other lines.
