Agibot's Humanoid Companions: From Directions to Dance Moves

A Thriving Year for Humanoid Robots at CES 2026

The CES 2026 event is proving significant in the realm of humanoid robotics, albeit garnering mixed reactions. A standout participant has been the Chinese firm, Agibot, introducing two intriguing models: the human-sized A2 and the smaller, agile X2—both impressively exhibiting their dance prowess.

Observing their performance, it was hard to miss the distinctive dance styles: The A2 engaged primarily with arm movements while standing largely stationary, whereas the X2, equipped with broader and more stable 'feet,' displayed greater agility in its routines.

Autonomous Navigation Capabilities

Initially maneuvered by a company operator via a specific controller, these robots are equipped to autonomously explore their surroundings using built-in sensors to conduct environmental scans. Agibot, having already deployed thousands of these units across China, anticipates their arrival in the US market within the year, aiming to offer versatile interactive platforms for diverse applications.

A2 as a Hospitality Innovator

The A2 is envisioned as an invaluable aid for hospitality settings—capable of welcoming visitors at events like museum openings and conferences (such as CES), providing guidance, and even escorting guests.

X2: A Multifunctional Companion

In contrast, the X2 could be instrumental in educational settings or other environments where more anthropomorphic movement is beneficial. It's also poised to be a potential hit on platforms like TikTok; as Agibot's communications head, Yuheng Feng, explained, users could train the robot to mimic dance routines captured in TikTok videos.

Looking Ahead: Availability and Adaptability

Details regarding the precise launch timeline and pricing in the US remain undetermined, as these factors are contingent on the intended applications specified by potential buyers. The robot's hardware offers customization options tailored to a variety of use cases, but until further updates, enthusiasts and potential users can immerse themselves in the mesmerizing dance displays these robots offer.
