Current evidence comparison for AgiBot G2 and ergoCub.

AgiBot G2

AgiBot

AgiBot G2 is an industrial wheeled humanoid (26-DoF body, 7-DoF force-controlled arms, 5-DOF waist-leg, four-wheel steering) powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor (up to 2,070 TFLOPS). It is IP42-rated with automotive-grade components and dual hot-swappable batteries for 24/7 use. Strongest evidence includes a named deployment on Longcheer's mass-production line, a company-reported 100 cumulative hours of factory livestream operations, and the 15,000th AgiBot robot being a G2. Launch demos show RAM insertion, logistics sorting with >95% floor adaptation, and guided tours. However height, weight, payload, battery capacity and price are missing, and deployment metrics (310 UPH, 99% success) come from secondary media without independent audit

ergoCub

Italian Institute of Technology (IIT)

ergoCub is IIT and INAIL's research humanoid, standing 150 cm tall, weighing 55.7 kg, and designed to reduce physical strain on workers in industrial and hospital settings. Its strongest evidence is a peer-reviewed Nature Machine Intelligence figure showing collaborative payload lifting with a human and live walking on stage. Official IIT sources confirm the 2023 debut and ergonomic purpose, while secondary dossiers report about 10 kg load-bearing, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier plus Intel i7 onboard compute, depth/LiDAR sensing, and research claims such as up to 43% energy reduction and DNN-driven locomotion. However, no battery, runtime, walking speed, total DoF, hand DoF, price, or customer deployment exists in the reviewed evidence; autonomy is mostly simulation-only or title-only
