AGIBOT launches GO-3 Preview and G2 Max
At AGIBOT Innovation Day 2026 in Shanghai on October 29, AGIBOT introduced Worken (a blend of "Work" and "Token"), a framework for measuring how much productive work robots perform in real-world settings. The company unveiled its AHA3 integrated hardware platform, its next-generation embodied AI foundation model GO-3 Preview, and its WITA-Omni omni-modal interaction model. It also formally launched the G2 Max industrial robot and Link-U OS 1.0. G2 Max has 21 degrees of freedom, a dual-arm payload of up to 40 kg and a working height adjustable from 0.1 to 2.5 meters. G2-series robots are already deployed in tablet production at Longcheer, semiconductor packaging and testing, CNC machine tending and logistics.
Audi tests Agile Robots' mobile humanoids
Audi is testing mobile humanoid robots from Agile Robots to sequence parts at a plant in Germany. The robots pick components from containers and arrange them in order for assembly. The project brings together Audi, Agile Robots, Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA, and it pairs physical trials with virtual-twin simulation to assess timing, performance and safety. It remains a proof of concept, with no performance figures or rollout timeline announced.
Rokae delivers its 10,000th humanoid force-controlled arm
Rokae Robotics has delivered its 10,000th humanoid force-controlled arm. That unit came off the line at its Shandong base in September, and more than 80 industrial partners now use the arms in production. Each AR-series arm has seven force-controlled joints, and Rokae's MAC controller handles single-arm, dual-arm and humanoid setups with more than 20 joints. Five Helios wheeled humanoids fitted with AR-series arms work at Schaeffler's lighthouse factory in Taicang, where they handle parts, assembly and inspection on a humanoid-component line.
Funding
- Koala Uran closed a Series B++ round from Mingwen Weiye. The money will fund its world-model and multimodal foundation models and the scaled rollout of its GeekMind embodied agent in factory inspection and forest-fire prevention.
- Weihai-based Juqiao Industrial raised a RMB 100 million-level Series A led by Ant Group. It weaves sensors directly from functional fibers to make "fabric electronic skin." Its tactile gloves have a minimum sensor pitch of 2 mm and a minimum trigger force of 0.01 N, and its own production line runs at a yield above 95%.
- Jingshuo Technology, a WeRide subsidiary, raised tens of millions of dollars in a pre-A round from Jiayu Capital, HKSTP, Sirius Capital and others. The company builds data and model infrastructure for physical AI, including its WorldEngine data platform, its GENESIS-Robotics world model and its EGOK egocentric data-capture device.
