AgiBot's 20,000th embodied robot delivered to Chimelong, with over 300 robots to be stationed at the park in the first phase
On September 24, AgiBot's 20,000th embodied intelligent robot, the Expedition A3 Ultra, rolled off the production line and was delivered to Chimelong Group. In the first phase, over 300 AgiBot robots will be introduced at Hengqin Chimelong Spaceship Park, deployed across more than 100 interactive experience points and covering seven major scenarios including entertainment performances, guided tours, retail, and hotels. The collaboration also includes the implementation of a 5G-A embodied intelligence innovation application, a one-stop operations and maintenance management platform, and a security solution covering six major dimensions. The Expedition series offers up to 10 hours of battery life, and the robots support 360-degree omnidirectional perception and compliant control. The overall deployment scale is expected to reach several thousand units.
