AgiBot showcased its A3 humanoid robot at IFA Berlin 2026, demonstrating advanced calligraphy writing using force-sensing direct-drive hands while highlighting the robot's facility-mapping capabilities. The article examines the company's market position—holding approximately 39-44% global humanoid robot market share—alongside concerns about Chinese national intelligence laws that could require data sharing with Beijing, as European buyers consider purchase decisions amid US market restrictions on Chinese robots.
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is investing 140.8 million yuan (approximately $19.6 million) in robotics manufacturer Unitree for a 2.31% stake, partnering to develop AI models for humanoid robots. Unitree is simultaneously proceeding with an IPO on Shanghai's STAR Market at a valuation of 61 billion yuan (~$8.5 billion), planning to raise approximately 6.1 billion yuan through the issuance of 40.45 million new shares. The partnership combines DeepSeek's AI model development capabilities with Unitree's mechanical engineering expertise and physical-world data to improve competitiveness in the humanoid robotics market against rival AgiBot.
