⬤ China's AGIBOT dominated global humanoid robot shipments in 2025, capturing 39% of the worldwide market with over 5,100 units delivered, per Omdia data. This shipment volume marks a major milestone in the early commercialization of embodied AI and shows how quickly AGIBOT has scaled up while the humanoid robotics market is still taking shape.
⬤ Most of AGIBOT's early deployments landed in factories and entertainment venues, reflecting where demand for humanoid robots is heating up first. Industrial sites are testing automation for repetitive tasks, logistics support, and human-machine interaction, while entertainment spaces are using humanoid robots for demos, exhibitions, and interactive experiences that show off advancing AI capabilities.
⬤ AGIBOT got extra attention at CES 2026 when Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang brought the AGIBOT G2 humanoid robot on stage. The demo connected AGIBOT's hardware progress with Nvidia's AI ecosystem spanning accelerated computing, simulation platforms, and model development. No formal partnership was announced, but the showcase highlighted humanoid robotics' strategic role in AI's next wave beyond data centers.
⬤ AGIBOT's rise matters for the broader tech landscape since humanoid robots are becoming the physical extension of artificial intelligence. Early shipment leadership shows Chinese companies are staking strong positions in embodied intelligence—an area set to reshape manufacturing efficiency, automation strategies, and human-machine collaboration. As global competition in humanoid robotics heats up, shipment scale, real-world deployment experience, and ecosystem ties will determine which players define the sector's future.
