At WAIC 2026 in Shanghai (July 17–20), AgiBot unveiled four products led by the A3 Ultra, a full-size humanoid standing 1.74 m, weighing 60 kg, with 51 active degrees of freedom, a 5 kg payload per arm and up to eight hours of operation, powered by NVIDIA's Thor onboard compute. It joined the X2 Edu education platform, the G2 Max industrial robot and the OmniHand 3 Ultra-M dexterous hand; AgiBot said more than 60 of its robots were operating across the venue.
Unitree used the show to give a first public look at the GD01, a 2.7-meter transformable humanoid it claims can move and carry a person, alongside a glimpse of a factory it says is run by its own robots. Unitree's Shanghai STAR Market IPO, registered in mid-July, had still not published a price or subscription date as of July 20, though a listing before month-end was reported as possible.
The caveat runs through all of it: the headline specs — Thor compute, eight-hour runtimes, a robot that carries an adult — are company claims shown on an exhibition floor, without independent testing, public pricing or an order page. WAIC has become the stage where China's humanoid makers set the terms of the conversation; converting that into shipped, priced, verified products is the part that happens after the lights go down.
