Start-up to boost car parts production in China with 100 factory robots

AgiBot, a Chinese robotics start-up, has secured a deal with Fulin Precision to deploy nearly 100 A2-W humanoid robots in its factories. This follows a successful demonstration where the robots met a monthly production target in one shift. The 5'9" dual-armed robots will handle repetitive box-moving tasks, potentially delivering materials for 500 units per shift. This deployment aims to free workers from physically demanding tasks, allowing them to focus on higher-value operations. The deal reflects China's growing robotics sector, with industrial robot installations increasing by 5% in 2024, accounting for over half of worldwide installations.
