SRT Robotics released Agile ONE, taking a crucial step towards the large-scale industrial application of humanoid robots.
Recently, Agile Robots, a global unicorn in the intelligent robotics industry, announced the official launch of the full - sized industrial humanoid robot Agile ONE, marking a crucial step forward in the large - scale industrial application of humanoid robots.
Notably, Agile ONE is not an isolated product but an important part of Agile Robots' full - stack solution. Through the AgileCore AI - driven software platform, Agile ONE can seamlessly collaborate with the company's existing products such as dexterous hands, force - controlled robotic arms, and autonomous mobile robots, forming an intelligent production system that covers the entire process of "perception - decision - execution".
Founded in 2018, Agile Robots became a global unicorn in the robotics field in just four years. As one of the earliest investors in Agile Robots, Linear Capital invested in the angel round and has supported the company ever since. Now, Agile Robots' business covers major global markets, with its annual revenue doubling continuously. It has delivered over 20,000 robotic solutions to global customers in total.
Agile Robots, a global unicorn in the intelligent robotics industry officially launched the full - sized industrial humanoid robot Agile ONE. This intelligent equipment, specifically designed for industrial environments and centered around Physical AI, enables safe and efficient collaboration with humans and other automated systems, marking a crucial step forward in the large - scale industrial application of humanoid robots.
As the global manufacturing industry accelerates its transformation towards intelligence and flexibility, humanoid robots, as an important link between artificial intelligence and the physical world, are becoming the core force to unlock the trillion - level market. According to the prediction of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), by 2030, the global industrial robot market will reach 10 million units, and the proportion of humanoid robots is expected to exceed 15%.
Dr. Chen Zhaopeng, the founder and CEO of Agile Robots said, "At Agile Robots, we believe that the next industrial revolution is Physical AI: intelligent, autonomous, and flexible robots that can perceive, understand the physical world, and take actions. Agile ONE is the embodiment of this revolution."
As a concrete product of Physical AI, Agile ONE has achieved multiple breakthroughs in core performance and practical value. Its dexterous hand is a benchmark in the industry, optimized based on the 20 - year technological accumulation of Dr. Chen Zhaopeng, the founder of Agile Robots. Each joint is equipped with a torque sensor and a fingertip tactile sensor, enabling it to precisely manipulate tiny screws and stably operate power tools, covering the entire range of scenarios from delicate operations to high - intensity tasks.
In terms of human - robot interaction, the robot features an innovative "Directional eye rings" response system. It confirms the receipt of instructions through blinking lights, and is equipped with a back - sensing indicator light and a rear - view perception function, allowing people to intuitively grasp the robot's operating status and creating a safe and reliable collaborative environment.
More notably, its hierarchical AI architecture integrates the "slow thinking" of step - by - step planning, the "fast thinking" of dynamic response, and the fine - control layer of high - frequency fine - tuning. It mimics the human instinctive reaction and complex decision - making mechanism, and can adaptively adjust the operation force and posture to avoid object slippage or damage. This technological breakthrough enables it to have stronger environmental adaptability in real industrial scenarios.
Relying on profound technological accumulation and a global layout, Agile Robots has laid a solid foundation for the implementation of Agile ONE. The company's core technology team comes from top - tier research institutions. Since its establishment in 2018, it has been deeply involved in the field of intelligent robotics. Now, it has grown into a global enterprise with 2,500 employees, with its business covering major global markets. Its annual revenue has been doubling continuously, and it has delivered over 20,000 robotic solutions to global customers in total. It has been widely recognized, especially in highly competitive industries such as automobile manufacturing and consumer electronics.
In terms of building the technological ecosystem, Agile ONE is not an isolated product but an important part of Agile Robots' full - stack solution. Through the AgileCore AI - driven software platform, Agile ONE can seamlessly collaborate with the company's existing products such as dexterous hands, force - controlled robotic arms, and autonomous mobile robots, forming an intelligent production system that covers the entire process of "perception - decision - execution".
In addition, Agile ONE also has significant data advantages. Its model training relies on a large - scale real industrial dataset, optimized with simulation data and digital twin technology, and supported by a top - tier computing platform to ensure stable performance in complex industrial scenarios.
Dr. Chen Zhaopeng said, "For our industrial customers, the real value lies not just in an independent intelligent humanoid robot but in a whole set of intelligent production systems. We foresee that Agile ONE will seamlessly collaborate with our other robotic solutions, and every part of the system will be connected and learn from each other. This approach of applying Physical AI to the entire production system can bring a new level of overall efficiency and quality to our customers."
