AgiBot A3 Ultra
AgiBot's WAIC 2026 service flagship — 51 DOF, NVIDIA Thor and all-day runtime
Overview
The AgiBot A3 Ultra is the flagship of the four-robot lineup AgiBot unveiled at Shanghai's WAIC 2026 in July 2026. A full-size humanoid aimed at commercial and service work, it stands 1.74 m, weighs about 60 kg and carries 51 degrees of freedom, with up to 5 kg of payload per arm. Its standout trait is endurance built for real shifts: up to eight hours of runtime backed by battery-swap, direct and autonomous charging, so a unit can keep working with minimal downtime. The brain is NVIDIA's Thor compute, among the most capable on-robot AI platforms of 2026, and the A3 Ultra comes from AgiBot — the Chinese company that shipped more humanoids than anyone in 2025 and is now pushing hard into export markets. No price has been announced and the robot is a commercial, not consumer, product; RobotTesters has not tested a unit, so this is a specs-based preview.
