AgiBot ships its 15,000th robot and runs a six-day live inspection test
AgiBot says the 15,000th robot left its line in late June 2026, less than three months after the 10,000th. In the same week its Genie G2 robots inspected more than 17,000 tablets over six days on a live production line at Longcheer, with a reported 99.99% success rate. Both are company-reported figures, but the test was public and recorded a real failure.

The 15,000-unit milestone
The Robot Report (28 June 2026) says the 15,000th robot was a G2, a wheeled mobile manipulator with a humanoid torso and arms built for industrial work. AgiBot, founded in 2023, describes growth from 1,000 to 5,000 units taking about a year, and from 5,000 to 10,000 about three months. Yicai adds that the 10,000th robot was sold in March.
The article cites Omdia for 2025: AgiBot ranked first globally in humanoid shipments with 5,168 units and a 39% share. The article does not say how many of the 15,000 are humanoids, wheeled units or other types, and the portfolio also includes quadrupeds, dexterous systems and commercial cleaning machines.
The six-day live test
Yicai (29 June 2026) reports that Genie G2 robots ran a livestreamed stress test at Longcheer Technology's factory in Nanchang, Jiangxi, working from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. to match the factory schedule. They inspected more than 17,000 tablets with a reported 99.99% overall success rate. The robots had worked on a secondary Longcheer line since December and moved to the main line in March.
One robot lost communication with test equipment, which led to two tablets being stacked and needed manual intervention; the rate briefly dipped to about 99.96%. The robot reported the fault, switched to another station and resumed about two minutes later. A joint team resolved roughly 60 issues across the deployment and livestream phases, which is a useful reminder of how much tuning sits behind a smooth demo.
What is still unverified
Production counts and the success rate come from AgiBot and the media reports based on it. We found no independent audit. The success rate also depends on how a success is defined: the sources do not say what counts as a failure, how many tablets were re-checked by people, or what a robot costs compared with a human inspector.
What this means for robot buyers
RoboHub's view: this kind of public test is a better basis for trust than a polished video, because it shows a long shift, a failure and a recovery. For your own plant, ask a vendor for the same ingredients: the length of the trial, the definition of an error, the number of human interventions, and how long the robot ran on one site before the test. Production volume is a sign that spare parts and support are likely to exist, though it does not guarantee service in your country.
Current catalog prices for AgiBot models are unchanged, and the sources give no pricing for the G2.
