ACE Robotics and Agibot Unveil Embodied AI at WAIC 2026

During the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, ACE ROBOTICS and Agibot introduced a series of advancements in embodied AI designed to move robotics from demonstrations to scalable industrial use. ACE ROBOTICS unveiled Kairos 3.1, an action-oriented world model that integrates generative, physical, and cognitive intelligence to improve robot reliability in uncertain environments. The company also launched the Ambient Capture Engine 2.0 for data collection, three commercial solutions for retail, laundry, and outdoor services, and the PHYSICAL IQ benchmark developed with several Chinese research institutes.

To support deployment, ACE ROBOTICS established a World Model Cloud Ecosystem with Baidu, Alibaba, Huawei, and Tencent. Simultaneously, Agibot launched four new products, including the A3 Ultra humanoid robot, the G2 Max industrial robot, the X2 Edu platform, and the OmniHand 3 Ultra-M manipulation system. Agibot deployed over 30 robots at the conference for visitor services and showcased a tablet quality-inspection line in Nanchang, China, where G2 robots achieved high operational uptime through partnerships with Longcheer Technology and PIA Automation Holding GmbH.
