AgiBot Refreshes Lingxi X2 for Guided Tours, Retail and Entertainment

AgiBot has introduced a refreshed Lingxi X2 humanoid robot for exhibition venues, tourism, guided tours, retail service and commercial entertainment. The November 6 release updates the service-oriented robot with configuration-dependent body articulation, optional dexterous hands and a battery rated at about 500 watt-hours, according to IT Home.

The company's specification materials distinguish two configurations, with 30 or 31 body degrees of freedom. The fuller 31-degree configuration allocates two to the head, 14 across the arms, three to the waist and 12 across the legs. Optional dexterous hands can bring the total to 47 degrees of freedom. These figures describe joint articulation, not a measure of autonomous task success.

AgiBot lists peak knee-joint torque of 120 newton-meters. Connectivity options include UWB, Wi-Fi, 4G or 5G, Bluetooth and GPS, with availability depending on configuration. The company positions those connections for different environments, from indoor exhibition halls and shops to more open tourism locations. The release also identifies research, education and data collection as possible uses.

The accompanying product questions and answers put an important limit on the navigation claims. Versions without the higher-end autonomous-navigation package do not have the navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities of that package. Even equipped robots are intended to operate within defined conditions and configured sites, with local maps and safety boundaries checked for the venue.

The same materials describe battery life of about two hours under a walking test condition of 0.5 meters per second. Higher-end navigation configurations can return to a charging position at a configurable low-battery threshold, while charging and replenishment arrangements need to match the deployment. The battery-capacity figure should therefore not be read as a promise of an uninterrupted full working shift.

The refresh retains the Lingxi X2 product identity rather than introducing an entirely new robot family. Its stated applications emphasize interaction and public-facing services. The announcement does not provide a common task-completion benchmark across those settings, so the listed scenarios remain intended uses rather than evidence that every configuration can autonomously perform all of them.
