AgiBot unveils heavy-duty robot Genie G2 Max with 40 kg rated payload for both arms

Shanghai Zhiyuan Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. unveiled Genie G2 Max, a heavy-duty embodied robot, on October 26, 2026. It has a 20 kg payload per arm, a 40 kg rated payload for both arms and a 50 kg peak payload. Hand repeatability is specified at ±0.5 mm or better. The robot is intended for tasks including depalletizing, material handling and feeding production lines.

AgiBot presents Genie G2 Max as a design that can handle both material transport and precise handling, citing a 40 kg rated payload for both arms and positioning accuracy of ±0.5 mm or better. Factories and warehouses that need to integrate with existing equipment or work in constrained spaces will need to assess not just payload but also work envelope, throughput and conditions for continuous operation.

Genie G2 Max’s focus is not only its ability to carry heavy loads, but also its design for precise placement after transport. It is rated for 40 kg with both arms, with positioning accuracy specified at ±0.5 mm or better; the product’s claimed novelty is its combination of heavy payload and fine manipulation. Meanwhile, force-controlled dual arms, vision guidance and integration with a task platform extend the broader embodied AI system AgiBot has outlined. The figures are based on the company’s announcement and should be distinguished from independent evaluation results. A report by us on AgiBot unveils embodied agent framework Genie Master, tests autonomous improvement in a real store (October 28, 2026) covered a framework that uses execution results to improve capabilities. AgiBot updates Genie Sim simulation platform to support simulation of flexible objects (the same day) covered simulation, evaluation and post-training. Genie G2 Max can be read as a product connecting those discussions of models and development environments to the use of physical robots in processes involving payload, precision and work envelope. However, the announcements do not show that these capabilities have been integrated into Genie G2 Max or that they are operated together at the same site. In the context of the direction outlined in AgiBot plans seven new product launches at AI WAVE, with G2 to undergo 24-hour convenience-store testing from Nov. 2—coordination among hardware, models, data, tools and systems—the Genie G2 Max announcement makes more concrete the role of physical capabilities needed in industrial settings. The industry implication is that robot deployments may be organized around entire processes, including connections to existing equipment, movement in limited spaces and continuous operation, rather than simple transport functions alone. AgiBot has described the robot’s work envelope and posture adjustment, and says compatibility with existing lines is a design goal. The company’s throughput figures and claim of 7×24-hour operation also point to the need to compare not just instantaneous payload but actual process cycles and replenishment methods when evaluating a deployment. The announcement does not provide specific pricing, cumulative deployment figures, uptime, measurement conditions for task success rates or criteria for evaluating safety functions. Attention will turn to how the company reports performance across different materials and environments, and during extended operation.

According to the company, Genie G2 Max combines 7-degree-of-freedom force-controlled dual arms with vision guidance and bimanual force control. Its vertical work range is 0.1–2.5 m and its horizontal work range is 1.2 m. The company says it can adjust posture using a pitch joint at the waist and handle depalletizing and palletizing from one side. In a warehouse-work example, the company said the overall task success rate exceeded 99%, with throughput of 80 boxes per hour for depalletizing and 75 boxes per hour for palletizing. The battery supports hot swapping and automatic charging, which the company says enables continuous 7×24-hour operation. Safety features include 2D and 3D lidar, ultrasound, a safety contact edge on the base and a physical emergency stop. The robot is also compatible with the Genie Studio 2.0 task platform, which the company says supports task orchestration, simulation validation and fleet management.
