Agibot Releases Safety-Standard Heavy-Load Embodied Robot Genie G2 Max

On October 26, centered on the AI WAVE goal of "getting robots truly on the job," AgiBot launched the safety-standard heavy-load embodied robot Genie G2 Max. Aimed at scenarios such as depalletizing and palletizing, material transfer, and production line feeding, the product translates the real-world demands for strength, precision, and continuous operation into a concrete product, driving AgiBot's full-stack AI capabilities onto the production line and converting technical strength into real productivity. The industrial handling sector has long faced an unsolvable trade-off: heavy-load equipment cannot do fine work, and precision equipment cannot bear heavy weights. To break this industry dilemma, AgiBot officially released the third AI WAVE product—the safety-standard heavy-load embodied robot Genie G2 Max—achieving both heavy-load strength and sub-millimeter precision operation. It has a single-arm payload of 20 kg, a dual-arm rated payload of 40 kg, a dual-arm peak payload of up to 50 kg, and arm repeat positioning accuracy of ≤±0.5 mm, making it the industry's first heavy-load embodied robot to achieve long-range, multi-task operation. "Embodied intelligence is not a demo in the lab; its value must be tested on real production lines," said Yao Maoqing, AgiBot co-founder, co-president, and president of the embodied business system, during the G2 Max launch livestream. Industrial scenarios impose stringent requirements on robots: they must lift heavy objects and place workpieces accurately, adapt to the existing layout of old factories, and collaborate with production line equipment and upstream and downstream partners. AgiBot hopes to bring its accumulated technology to the production floor, driving embodied intelligence from single-point demonstrations to full-process collaboration and truly unleashing the productivity of embodied intelligence. 01 Heavy Load and Precision Combined A Single Robot Completes the Full Pick, Move, and Place Process In tasks such as bin transfer, production line feeding, and heavy component picking and placing, robots must simultaneously meet three requirements: heavy objects must be moved stably, materials must be placed accurately, and operations must keep up with multi-shift production. Especially under heavy-load conditions, robots must still maintain fine pick-and-place capability and continuously complete repetitive tasks. To this end, G2 Max integrates heavy-load handling, fine operation, and continuous operation capabilities, connecting the full pick, move, and place process through the same device to meet the needs of various materials and processes on the industrial floor. With a dual-arm payload of 40 kg, G2 Max covers the handling needs of more than 95% of industrial bins and components on the market. But G2 Max does not simply pursue the ceiling of payload specifications; instead, it invests substantial engineering capability in force control and vision fusion solutions to solve the long-standing problem of "able to move it but unable to place it accurately."

With 7-DOF force-controlled dual arms and vision guidance plus dual-arm force control technology, G2 Max is compatible with a wide variety of industrial materials such as cardboard boxes, Euro-standard turnover boxes, and irregular components, without the need for extensive re-teaching and calibration. In the mixed-line incoming material scenario of a leading domestic daily chemical FMCG production line, faced with material boxes of varying sizes and weights, the robot achieved a material recognition rate of 100%, smoothly completing the full long-process workflow of depalletizing, box opening and feeding, box film covering, and empty box recovery, realizing mixed-line operation of multiple categories of materials. 02 Flexible Operation Across the Entire Area No Production Line Modification Needed, Improving Space Efficiency The biggest obstacle for many factories in advancing automation is the high cost of production line and site modification. Once heavy-load equipment enters the site, workstations must be torn down and rebuilt and large movement spaces reserved, keeping the deployment threshold high. G2 Max takes "compatibility with existing production lines" as a core design goal: vertical working range of 0.1 m to 2.5 m, horizontal working coverage of 1.2 m; equipped with a high-precision waist pitch joint, it can actively tilt the body posture to achieve single-side depalletizing and palletizing. Pallets can be placed directly against the wall, with no need to reserve 1.5 meters of space behind for maneuvering, greatly freeing up factory floor area. Low-level picking and high-level palletizing are completed by one machine, without additional lifting or auxiliary tooling. This spatial adaptability has already been applied in leading e-commerce warehousing scenarios. G2 Max can seamlessly connect to the automated storage and retrieval system's "goods-to-person" system, working with the existing robot fleet to complete the full process of full-box depalletizing and warehousing and empty bin palletizing and recovery. Its overall operation success rate exceeds 99%, and it can depalletize 80 boxes and palletize 75 boxes per hour, completing automation upgrades directly within the original warehouse layout. 03 "Robots Building Robots" Stably Keeping Up with the Production Line Beat On the Qiyuan T1 production line, G2 Max is undertaking a "robots building robots" task. As the "precision handler" on the joint assembly line, it is responsible for accurately delivering processed limb joint components such as shoulder joint housings and hip joint assemblies from the material stacking area to the final assembly workstation. These components are the parts of a robot with the highest precision requirements; even a slight bump on the mounting surface can affect the service life of the joint module. In the past, this relied entirely on manual box stacking, cart pushing, and unloading—laborious and error-prone. After G2 Max came on duty, it carries boxes with both arms and places them with sub-millimeter precision throughout, completing picking, moving, and delivery in one step—using heavy-load and precision handling capabilities to support the birth of another robot. Faced with the production line's requirement of rolling one Qiyuan T1 off the line every 2.5 minutes, G2 Max has achieved stable matching. Zhou Ye, factory director of the Huguang Co., Ltd. robot manufacturing plant, said: "A 2.5-minute beat means the material supply rhythm for the entire joint assembly workstation must be perfectly coordinated; if it is late, downstream workstations start waiting idle. G2 Max's operation beat is very stable, and its all-day beat curve is almost a straight line." The value of robots also includes withstanding the heavy physical pressure of night shifts. To this end, G2 Max is equipped with a multi-pronged energy replenishment solution of dual-battery hot swapping plus autonomous recharging, achieving 7×24-hour uninterrupted operation and filling the gap in human night shifts. At the same time, designed according to industrial safety standards, it builds 360° multimodal perception protection, integrating 2D/3D LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, chassis safety bumpers, and physical emergency stops, enabling safe operation even in complex industrial environments. Beyond hardware, G2 Max natively adapts to the Genie Studio 2.0 embodied operation platform. Relying on platform capabilities, customers can quickly complete task orchestration, simulation verification, and cluster operations and maintenance, completing on-site adaptation at day-level speed and greatly shortening the project deployment cycle. Currently, G2 Max has been deployed and operating on multiple production lines, and continues to optimize its operating capabilities through collaboration with existing industrial equipment and production processes. In the future, AgiBot will continue to advance the iteration and large-scale replication of heavy-load embodied robot solutions, bringing embodied intelligence truly into factories and warehouses, and converting the product capability of "immense power, ceaseless agility" into the productivity of the real economy.
