What we know
Most of what's known about X2 comes from AGIBOT itself: its developer documentation AGIBOT and its online store AGIBOT. That's where the movement, interaction and battery figures come from, so read them as the maker's claims. The closest thing to a hands-on look is Techlicious, which saw it at Mobile World Congress in 2026 and found its balance and movement smoother than older humanoids. That article was published in partnership with AGIBOT, though, so we don't count it as an independent review.
Techlicious, hands-on, Mar 2026 (Seen at Mobile World Congress 2026; Published in partnership with AGIBOT, after a trade-show demo.)
Built to perform, not to fetch
AGIBOT leads with dance routines, full-body moves and head movements timed to speech, plus conversation through AGIBOT's own voice model. Techlicious found its balance and expressive movement noticeably smoother than humanoids from a few years ago, but that was a trade-show demo, not weeks of use. Nothing AGIBOT publishes suggests X2 can tidy up or carry the shopping. Think of it as a presenter or a teaching robot, and ask to see the exact routine you need before you buy.
Weak arms, two-hour battery
AGIBOT's documentation AGIBOT rates the arms at 3kg in one specific posture and no more than 1kg across their full reach, so a bottle of water is about the limit. The battery is about 421Wh, good for roughly two hours of walking at a gentle pace. Top speed is 1.8m/s, but AGIBOT suggests 0.8m/s or less in daily use. Techlicious quoted different figures, including a 500Wh battery and 25 joints, so check the spec sheet for the exact version you're offered.
Three versions, very different kit
The X2 name covers more than one robot. According to AGIBOT, the Ultra versions add a depth camera, a 3D laser scanner, stereo and rear cameras, a head touch sensor, mobile data and a far faster computer. The EDU version has none of those sensors and is meant purely for movement programming. The store AGIBOT now lists an X2 Neo with 30 joints and an Ultra new version with 31. Confirm exactly which build you're paying for.
Expect to fix problems yourself
AGIBOT says plainly that only the hardware is under warranty and that technical issues must be resolved by the user. Shipping, duties, taxes and import clearance are also the buyer's to pay, and customs needs a phone number and email address. AGIBOT's executives told Techlicious that humanoids still need huge amounts of real-world data to work reliably. Plan for a technical owner who enjoys troubleshooting, not a plug-in appliance.
Specs come from AGIBOT's X2 developer documentation, which covers the Ultra, Ultra new version and EDU builds.
Our take
Should you buy the X2?
Best for: Venues wanting a walking, dancing robot for performances. Skip it if: You want a finished companion without assembly or troubleshooting.
for event companies, showrooms and university labs with someone technical to keep it running. If you mainly want a body for your own movement code, compare Unitree's G1 and Fourier's N1, and for a competition-proven developer robot look at Booster's T1.
The X2 is AGIBOT's smaller humanoid, about 1.31m tall, made for entertainment, teaching and research. It walks, dances, moves its head as it speaks and responds to voice, touch and faces. Ultra versions add a depth camera, a laser scanner and a faster computer, while the EDU version has no sensors and is meant for programming movement.
Think of it as a presenter or teaching robot. The arms are for gestures rather than carrying, rated at about 1kg across their full reach. AGIBOT's store puts only the hardware under warranty and leaves technical problems to the owner, and buyers pay shipping, duties and import fees on top.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
What can it do on its own today?
AGIBOT lists walking, dance routines, head movements synced with speech, and interaction by voice, touch, sight and facial expression AGIBOT. Techlicious was told it has more than 20 preset motion skills. It doesn't claim household chores. None of the sources here show how reliably those routines run away from a demo stage.
What does it need to run?
A charged battery, the app or handheld controller, and ideally someone comfortable with software. AGIBOT quotes about two hours of walking per charge, a charge time of 90 minutes or less and a charger that works on 100–220V mains, per the specifications. Software updates arrive over the air, according to AGIBOT.
Who supports it if it breaks?
Largely you. AGIBOT covers the hardware under warranty but says technical issues must be resolved by the user. The store doesn't name local service partners in the UK, Europe or Australia, so budget for shipping parts or the robot itself if something fails.
Is it safe to have around people?
We couldn't find any safety certification from AGIBOT. Its documentation recommends keeping walking speed to 0.8m/s or less in daily use, per the specifications, and a 33–39kg robot falling onto someone would hurt. None of the sources here tested how it behaves around people, so keep a clear space around it while it moves, especially near children.
Alternatives
Other humanoid robots to compare.
G1
Why consider it: A compact humanoid for people who want to build robot skills themselves.
The compromise: What you get depends heavily on the configuration and programming access, and demos run ahead of home chores.
N1
Why consider it: An open-source humanoid of similar height, with unusually clear documentation on where to start.
The compromise: It's a developer's tool, not something a non-technical owner can ask for help around the house.
T1
Why consider it: A research and competition humanoid with open tools and options for grippers or hands.
The compromise: If you want a ready-made entertainer or helper, it isn't aimed at you.
