Overview
AgiBot's full-stack open-source humanoid, announced in August 2024 alongside the A2 and released on GitHub that October with hardware files, RL training code and the inference runtime. It sits at the top of the kid-size range and is far heavier and more capable than hobby RL bipeds, but it is the closest thing to a fully published commercial-grade humanoid. Buying a complete unit outside China means contacting sales.
