AgiBot X2 Series
The AgiBot X2 Series, the Lingxi line of compact bipedal humanoids from AgiBot's X-Lab, stands 1.31 metres tall at 33.8 to 39 kilogrammes with 25 to 31 degrees of freedom by variant, famous for riding bicycles, balancing on hoverboards and landing the world's first robot Webster flip, and ladders from the interaction focused X2 through the 157 TOPS, LiDAR equipped X2 Ultra flagship to the fully modular, open interface X2 Edu for classrooms and laboratories.
AgiBot X2 Series
At 1.31 metres, a humanoid stops being imposing and starts being approachable, and AgiBot built an entire product line on that observation. The AgiBot X2 Series, the Lingxi line developed by AgiBot's X-Lab under founder Peng Zhihui, is the compact half of the world's highest volume humanoid maker's portfolio: bipedal robots of 33.8 to 39 kilogrammes and 25 to 31 degrees of freedom by variant, scaled for the classrooms, exhibition halls, stages and laboratories where a full size machine would dominate the room this one is meant to charm.
Charm, in the X2's case, is documented athletically. The series debuted in March 2025 with a repertoire no compact humanoid had shown, walking, running, dancing, riding a bicycle, balancing on a hoverboard, even reading medication instructions, built on AgiBot's self developed cerebellum controller, domain controller, intelligent power management and core joint modules, and has kept escalating since: the world's first robot Webster flip, Tai Chi performances at CES 2026, live showroom sessions at MWC 2026 in Barcelona at walking speeds up to 2 metres per second on joints peaking at 120 newton metres. Three variants now carry the line, the interaction focused X2, the autonomy flagship X2 Ultra and the fully open X2 Edu, one small body, three very different briefs.
Within the wider humanoid and bipedal categories, the full X2 Series for sale can be explored through this page.
Background
The deliberate half size
The X2 occupies a considered position in AgiBot's portfolio: where the full size Yuanzheng A2 line carries industrial and large scale commercial service, the Lingxi line serves the human facing missions, education, research, entertainment, exhibition work, light service, that benefit from a smaller, safer, more agile machine. The scale is a feature, not a compromise: half height means intrinsic approachability for audiences and students, lower energy in any contact, indoor friendly footprints, and the balance dynamics that make the series' signature stunts, bicycles, hoverboards, acrobatics, possible at all.
From viral debut to product ladder
Peng Zhihui's March 2025 reveal video made the Lingxi X2 famous before it was purchasable; the ladder that followed made it deployable. The standard X2 productised the interaction repertoire; the X2 Ultra added the sensing and computing for genuine autonomy; and in July 2026, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, the X2 Edu completed the trio in a four product AgiBot launch alongside the A3 Ultra, the G2 Max and the OmniHand 3 Ultra-M, extending the series into open, modular education hardware, a compact family maturing in step with its maker's Deployment Year One.
The X2 Series Lineup
AgiBot X2
The standard X2 is the interaction machine: humanoid gait, complex dance routines and coordinated head movement synchronised with voice conversation, with a degree of freedom count in the 25 to 30 range including a dedicated head axis and three waist axes for expressive, lifelike motion. It carries the series' three core application categories on its own, cultural and entertainment performance, exhibition guidance and explanation, and research and education, with entry and enhanced configurations serving first deployments and developer programmes respectively, exact builds confirmed at quotation.
AgiBot X2 Ultra
The X2 Ultra is the flagship where the small body gets the big brain: 30 actuated degrees of freedom at roughly 39 kilogrammes, 157 TOPS of onboard AI computing, and a perception suite the standard model does not carry, 3D LiDAR and RGB-D depth vision for precise spatial awareness, plus facial recognition, object detection, gesture recognition and environmental semantic perception. It docks and charges autonomously at its dedicated station, locating the charger itself when power runs low for uninterrupted public service, and opens fully to developers through the AimDK_X2 framework with samples, Ultra specific debug interfaces, Python and ROS compatibility and full secondary development support, with customisation available.
AgiBot X2 Edu
The X2 Edu is the series built to be taken apart: a fully modular education humanoid with 29 degrees of freedom, 7 degree of freedom arms and a 3 kilogramme payload, whose disassemblable construction and open motion control and hardware software interfaces turn the robot itself into the curriculum. It gives students, independent developers and research groups an affordable, genuinely open humanoid testbed, access most platforms lock away, with skills scaling upward to the X2 Ultra and the A3 series beyond.

Which X2 suits which buyer?
The ladder maps to what the robot must do when nobody is piloting it. Venues, brands and exhibition programmes buying presence and performance, shows, guidance, synchronised routines, take the standard X2, the tier whose stagecraft made the line famous. Deployments needing genuine autonomy, self navigation, person and object awareness, all day public service on autonomous charging, and research groups building on full sensing take the X2 Ultra. Classrooms, robotics clubs, universities and developers who need to open the machine, modify it and rebuild it take the X2 Edu, graduating projects upward through the family. Across all three, educational buyers gain a platform students are unafraid of, entertainment and exhibition operators gain a performer that fits the venue, and mission software, RoboGuide and RoboStage class systems from the robot software catalogue, gives the hardware its working script.
Technology
Balance as the headline act
The X2's stunts are its engineering résumé in public: bicycle riding, hoverboard balancing and the world's first robot Webster flip are balance intensive control problems, dynamic stability maintained through contact changes, momentum and recovery, and a machine that lands an aerial can absorb a shove, a bump or a misstep in an exhibition crowd, showmanship and robustness as the same underlying competence.
A self developed core
The series runs on AgiBot's own componentry, cerebellum controller for motion, domain controller for intelligence, intelligent power management and core joint modules, the vertical integration of a maker shipping at world leading volume, which shows in the line's pricing position and its pace of capability updates.
Perception scaled by tier
Sensing follows the ladder honestly: the standard X2 perceives for interaction, while the Ultra's 3D LiDAR, depth vision and semantic environmental understanding give it the spatial awareness for autonomous navigation and its facial, object and gesture recognition make encounters personal, with autonomous docking closing the operational loop for unattended public deployments.
An open research gravity well
The X2 sits inside the strongest open ecosystem in compact humanoids: the AimDK development framework, Python and ROS compatibility, the X2 Edu's opened motion control and interfaces, and AgiBot's open sourced AgiBot World dataset of over one million trajectories, the resource behind the AgiBot World Challenge at ICRA 2026 that drew 526 teams from 27 countries, a research community any X2 purchase joins on day one.
What is the AgiBot X2 Series used for?
- Cultural and entertainment performance: dance routines, acrobatics and voice synchronised shows across entertainment robotics, the series' first declared category.
- Exhibition guidance and explanation: hall tours, product presentation and audience engagement across exhibition robotics.
- Research in embodied AI: locomotion, interaction and manipulation studies on the Ultra's open stack across research robotics.
- Education at every level: the X2 Edu's modular curriculum and the family's approachable scale across educational robotics.
- Light human facing service: greeting, guidance and engagement in commercial venues suited to the compact form.
- Brand moments and media: the bicycle rider, Tai Chi performer and flip artist as the campaign centrepiece audiences film.

Summary
The AgiBot X2 Series is the humanoid scaled to be liked: 1.31 metres of self developed engineering that rides bicycles, lands flips and talks with its whole body, sold as a ladder whose rungs are honest, the X2 for the stage, the Ultra for the autonomous floor, the Edu for the workbench with the covers off. It inherits the volume leader's components, opens through AimDK and a million trajectory dataset to the research community that already competes on it, and gives Europe's venues, schools and laboratories a humanoid sized to its audience rather than over it. As the compact line of the world's highest volume humanoid maker, the X2 Series stands as the approachable end of embodied AI, and this page as the European starting point for it.
What is the AgiBot X2 Series in Europe?
The AgiBot X2 Series (Lingxi X2 in China) is a compact bipedal humanoid robot family developed by AGIBOT Innovation Shanghai Technology Co., Ltd. and officially launched on March 11, 2025. It stands approximately 1.3 meters tall, weighs 33.8 to 35 kilograms, and features 28 to 31 degrees of freedom depending on configuration. Available in three editions (Interactive, Explorer, and Flagship), it is designed for education, entertainment, healthcare, retail service, and university research. In Europe, it is available through Generation Robots, Europa Satellite, the AgiBot global store, and the BotShare RaaS rental platform. The X2 is notable for bicycle riding, hoverboard balancing, silicon photonic visual processing, and the Lingqu OS embodied intelligent operating system on the Flagship Edition.
How does the AgiBot X2 achieve its dynamic motion capabilities?
The X2's dynamic motion results from the integrated Xyber component system. The Xyber-Edge cerebellum controller processes proprioceptive feedback from all 28 to 31 joints in real time, continuously adjusting torque output to maintain balance during bicycle riding, hoverboard balance, and dance sequences. The Xyber-DCU high-level motion controller plans and sequences the coordinated joint movements required for complex dynamic actions. The Powerflow joint modules execute individual joint movements with the torque profile and backdrivability characteristics required for compliant contact and recovery from perturbations. The silicon photonic VLM enables the robot to perceive and respond to visual environmental changes in sub-millisecond time, contributing to the real-time stability corrections needed during highly dynamic activities.
Why is the AgiBot X2 suitable for European education and research?
The X2 is appropriate for European education and research for several convergent reasons. Its 1.3-meter compact form factor fits school classrooms, university laboratories, and research corridors. The Interactive Edition's accessible pricing (starting approximately EUR 13,800) is within reach of well-funded secondary schools and most university department budgets. The Flagship Edition's lower-level joint control access and Lingqu OS with ROS compatibility provide the research-grade control infrastructure that university engineering programs require. Its dynamic capability breadth, from cycling to the webster flip, creates a wide range of locomotion research problems for students and researchers to work on. And the open AgiBot World dataset with over one million manipulation trajectories provides European researchers with training data and benchmarks compatible with the X2 hardware platform.
What are the key differences between the three AgiBot X2 editions?
The Interactive Edition is the entry-level tier, configured for social and commercial service interaction with upper-level API control via Python, C++, and ROS, and standard computing hardware. It is appropriate for hospitality, retail, museums, and corporate lobbies. The Explorer Edition adds 4G/5G cellular connectivity and enhanced autonomous navigation for deployments where reliable Wi-Fi coverage across the full operational area cannot be guaranteed. The Flagship Edition is the full research platform, adding the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super processor (up to 67 TOPS), lower-level and joint-level control access, Lingqu OS with AimRT middleware, compatibility with OmniHand dexterous manipulation accessories, and a complete sensor suite. The Flagship Edition is appropriate for university research, algorithm development, and advanced commercial applications where maximum onboard AI compute and full hardware control access are required.
How does the AgiBot X2 compare to the Unitree G1 for European buyers?
The Unitree G1 (approximately EUR 20,000) and AgiBot X2 Interactive Edition are comparable in price and target application category. The G1 has advantages in established global distribution, a larger developer community, and extensive open-source tooling. The X2 differentiates through its silicon photonic VLM for sub-millisecond visual processing, a broader documented dynamic motion range (bicycle riding, hoverboard, scooter, balance board), the three-edition upgrade structure that allows the platform to scale from service to research grade, and Lingqu OS with AimRT on the Flagship tier. For European buyers primarily motivated by community support and lowest cost entry, the G1 has practical advantages. For those prioritizing visual processing speed for healthcare or retail applications, dynamic motion breadth for entertainment, or research-grade control infrastructure, the X2 provides capabilities the G1 does not offer at the same price point.
