AGIBOT and ASD to Deploy 100 AGIBOT X2 Humanoid Robots Across 100 Stores

AGIBOT announced that it will deploy 100 AGIBOT X2 humanoid robots across 100 retail stores. The announcement was made on AGIBOT’s official website and names ASD as its partner. The plan pairs 100 robots with 100 stores.

The one-to-one match of 100 robots to 100 stores suggests that the X2 is moving beyond being presented as an individual robot and is being deployed for retail operations. AGIBOT features the X2 alongside its product lineup on its official website, so the focus will extend beyond the robot’s capabilities to operational design, including remote operation and data infrastructure.

The new element in this announcement is the explicit plan to deploy 100 AGIBOT X2 robots across 100 retail stores. By linking a robot count to real-world deployment sites, rather than simply introducing a product, the plan appears to mark a next step for AGIBOT beyond sales or demonstrations. However, the announcement does not specify each store’s use case, operating hours, tasks or maintenance arrangements, leaving the details of operations unclear. In related coverage, we reported that AGIBOT highlighted its product lineup, RaaS and development platform in AGIBOT showcases robot lineup and RaaS at LEAP 2026 and AGIBOT announces AGIBOT WORLD 2026 Theme 3; details unclear. The 100-store deployment appears to extend that effort, shifting the focus from what to build to where it will be used. The primary source alone does not establish whether the project includes the RaaS model presented at LEAP 2026 or is a standalone deployment. For the industry, operational design at deployment sites can be more important to the competitiveness of retail robots than product specifications. Placing 100 robots in 100 stores represents a test of their fit for real-world settings, rather than a simple display, and is likely to make maintenance, remote operation and data collection systems important alongside hardware supply. AGIBOT’s website also lists the VR Teleoperation Kit, AGIBOT World Dataset and AimRT Framework alongside the X2, making the connection between the store rollout and its data infrastructure a point to watch. Questions that remain include whether the 100 robots will be introduced all at once or in phases, whether they will perform the same functions across all 100 stores, and how operating conditions will be designed. The primary source does not state ASD’s role, the contract structure, maintenance arrangements or whether data will be used after deployment.

The primary source identifies the model as “AGIBOT X2 Humanoid Robots” and the deployment sites as “100 Retail Stores.” The announcement page also lists related products and platforms, including the AGIBOT X2 series, A3, A2 Ultra, A2 Lite, A2-W, X1, G2, G1, the D1 series, C5, OmniHand 2025 and the VR Teleoperation Kit. It does not specify their direct connection to this project or the deployment conditions.

The primary source makes no direct mention of Japan.
