The Changingtek X2 (Shu Qiao) is the world's first adaptive Left-Right Dexterous (LRD) robotic hand. It features 5 independently controlled fingers with 16 degrees of freedom, a reconfigurable thumb allowing automatic left/right switching, tendon-driven actuation, and integrated vision for object recognition. It achieves up to 50N grip force and 0.1N force control accuracy.

AGIBOT (Zhiyuan Robotics) announced its 20,000th cumulative robot has rolled off the production line, doubling its reported total since March 2026. The milestone machine, identified as an A3 Ultra, was delivered to Chimelong Spaceship Park alongside a 300+ robot deployment. The production breakdown shows 5,638 A-Series, 8,757 X-Series, and 5,605 G-Series units, though the figures are company-reported cumulative production rather than verified sales or active deployments.
China is aggressively pursuing embodied AI through humanoid robots as a path to artificial general intelligence (AGI), with companies like AgiBot and UBTech leading a domestic manufacturing surge that dominates over 90% of global sales. The strategy centers on deploying robots in real-world environments to collect physical data that can train more capable AI systems, though challenges remain including U.S. import bans and questions about sustainable business models.
The 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing concluded with Tiangong Ultra winning the 100-meter sprint in 8.64 seconds—breaking its own records across five days—while AGIBOT dominated the overall medal table with 46 medals. The event showcased a bifurcation in humanoid robotics between sprint performance and real-world deployment skills, with AGIBOT's wins in dexterous manipulation and scenario-based tasks signaling commercial viability for deployed robots.
