Shanghai startup Agibot, founded only two years ago by a former employee of Huawei, announced the beginning of the mass production of humanoid robots. The company has already manufactured 962 general -purpose robots for commercial use, as reporters of Agibot reported in recent video.
This step has become an important stage in the development of a startup, which has managed to turn the idea into real production in two years. The founder of the company, 31-year-old Peng Zhihui, noted in his post on the Weibo platform that this achievement opens up new prospects for the company.
Pan began his career in Huawei in 2020, participating in the program “Brilliant Youth” and engaged in projects in the field of artificial intelligence. Its development, such as a robotic hand in the style of “iron man”, has gained popularity in Chinese social networks. In December 2022, he left the company and already in February 2023 founded Agibot.
The company supported by large investors as Hongshan (previously Sequoia China), Hillhouse Investment and BYD auto giant, actively develops models of humanoid robots for home and industrial tasks. AGibot potential attracted the attention of both users and investors.
The beginning of the mass production of AGIBOT robots enhances competition in the Chinese robotics market, where the support of the industry is actively stimulated by local authorities. The introduction of such technologies reflects a global tendency to introduce artificial intelligence into everyday life and industry.
The mass production of humanoid robots becomes an important milestone not only for Agibot, but also for the entire Chinese industry, which continues to develop rapidly.
