Shanghai, China, 4th Nov, 2025 — Recently, the premier global academic conference in robotics—2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025)—was successfully held in Hangzhou. Centered around the theme “Frontiers of Human-Robot Interaction,” this year’s conference spotlighted the deep integration and innovation of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies. As a leading company in embodied intelligence, AgiBot made its first in-depth appearance at IROS, showcasing its full-stack technological capabilities and ecosystem strength through comprehensive live demonstrations of its entire product portfolio and the inaugural AgiBot World Challenge, quickly becoming one of the event’s major highlights.

At the exhibition hall, AgiBot presented its full lineup of products—including G1, G2, X2, and A2—delivering immersive, hands-on experiences that demonstrated tangible technological advancements.

AgiBot placed particular emphasis on real-world industrial applications of embodied robotic operational intelligence. Notably, G1 achieved fully autonomous parcel handling in logistics scenarios without human intervention and exhibited deep collaboration with DEMAC’s Smart Shuttle Sorting Robot. The newly launched AgiBot G2, unveiled on October 16, made its first offline public debut at the event, drawing significant attention.

Among the crowd favorites, AgiBot X2 captivated attendees with high-degree-of-freedom motion control performances of popular dance routines becoming a must-visit photo spot. Meanwhile, A2 highlighted the practical value of simulation technology.

Co-hosted by AgiBot and OpenDriveLab, “AgiBot World Challenge @ IROS 2025” stood out as one of the conference’s flagship events. The competition featured two tracks—Manipulation and World Model, with a total prize pool of $560,000. It drew 431 top-tier teams from 23 countries and regions across five continents, representing universities, research institutes, and other innovation entities worldwide.

The Manipulation track was especially competitive. After rigorous online simulation preliminaries, 11 elite teams from globally renowned universities and research institutions advanced to the on-site physical robot finals. Held on October 21–22 at the IROS venue, the finals saw teams competing on AgiBot’s platform to complete complex manipulation tasks, with the champion team taking home a $10,000 cash prize. The competition not only showcased the technical ingenuity of young global developers but also validated the advanced capabilities and robustness of the AgiBot platform.

“AgiBot World Challenge @ IROS 2025” had concluded successfully. In the World Model track, the top three positions were awarded to VIPL-GENUN from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; HD-Robo from HiDream.ai Inc.; and SHIELD-LMD from Alibaba Cloud-SHIELD-Shanghai TAM. In the Manipulation track, the podium was claimed by AIR-DREAM (Tsinghua University and Shanghai AI Lab), Notonlysim (South China University of Technology), and Firebot (Hong Kong University).
