Agibot’s humanoid robots may give instructions and study your TikTok dances

For higher or worse, CES 2026 is already shaping as much as be an enormous yr for humanoid robots. Chinese language firm Agibot confirmed up with two: the roughly human-sized A2 and the marginally smaller X2, each of which had been displaying their surprisingly spectacular dancing skills.

We watched each robots stroll round, wave at passersby and exhibit their greatest strikes. The bigger A2 principally saved its legs nonetheless and danced primarily with its arms. The smaller X2 alternatively is a little more nimble — it has a bigger set of “toes” to offer it extra stability — and people skills had been on full show.

On the time we noticed them, the robots had been managed partially by an Agibot rep utilizing a devoted controller, however the firm advised me the robots are in a position to transfer autonomously in areas as soon as they have been ready to make use of their onboard sensors to map out their  environmentThe firm, which has already shipped a number of thousand robots in China and plans to make them out there in the US this yr, says each the A2 and X2 are supposed to supply a versatile platform so folks can work together with the robots in a wide range of conditions.

Agibot envisions the bigger A2 as a form of hospitality helper robotic that may greet guests at museums or conferences (like CES) and supply instructions and even stroll alongside their human company.

The smaller X2 alternatively might be fitted to academic functions or different eventualities when you may want a robotic with barely extra human-like actions. It may even be an excellent TikTok companion, as Agibot’s head of communications, Yuheng Feng defined to me. “Take a Tiktok video, for instance,you need to use that video to coach the robotic, [so] it could additionally dance precisely such as you did within the video.”

The corporate hasn’t given particulars on when its robots would possibly present up within the US or how a lot they could price. Feng advised me rather a lot will rely on how firms wish to use them as a result of their {hardware} is ready to be custom-made relying on the use case. For now, although, we’ll simply soak within the dance strikes.
