AgiBot runs full tablet line shifts
China’s AgiBot Genie G2 humanoid robots reportedly completed 8‑hour shifts on tablet assembly lines, producing about 310 units per hour with 18–20 second cycles and a 99.9% success rate, and were integrated in roughly 36 hours according to social posts (x.com) (x.com). The posts position the deployment as a rapid, high‑throughput test rather than a slow pilot, with clear cycle‑time and throughput metrics shared publicly (x.com).
A tablet factory in Nanchang, China, put AgiBot’s Genie G2 humanoid robots through full eight-hour shifts on a live production line. (english.news.cn) The robots worked at Longcheer Technology’s plant, where tablets move through a high-speed line and each station has only seconds to finish its task. AgiBot said the G2 handled one operation in 18 to 20 seconds and averaged 310 products an hour. (prnewswire.com) AgiBot said one G2 completed 2,283 tasks in eight hours without an error, while Xinhua reported four humanoid robots completed the live-streamed shift on the line. Longcheer said the public test took place on April 14, 2026, at its Nanchang factory. (cntechpost.com) (english.news.cn) (longcheer.com) This was not a welding or pallet-moving job, where factories already use fixed industrial arms. Longcheer said the robots were placed on an open tablet mass-production line for precision work under normal production pressure. (longcheer.com) In consumer electronics, the hard part is not only speed but variation: fixtures shift, products change, and failed units have to be sorted without stopping the line. AgiBot said the G2 could adapt to disturbances, identify defective products, and switch across product models without custom tooling. (cntechpost.com) AgiBot said on-site integration took about 36 hours, using its Genie Sim 3.0 digital-twin software to cut setup time that factories often measure in weeks or months. The company said retraining for line changeovers takes no more than four hours and equipment reuse reaches 95%. (cntechpost.com) Longcheer is a large original design manufacturer, meaning it builds devices for other brands, and its website lists tablets among its core product categories. That matters because contract manufacturers care less about one demo and more about whether a machine can be moved between customers and models. (longcheer.com 1) (longcheer.com 2) The deployment also fits AgiBot’s push to move from lab demonstrations to factory contracts. AgiBot said it plans to expand the Longcheer installation to 100 units by the third quarter of 2026 and extend the same model into automotive manufacturing and semiconductors. (therobotreport.com) (cntechpost.com) The company is framing the Nanchang run as proof that humanoid robots can stay on pace with a real electronics line for a full shift, not just finish a staged cycle once. The next test is whether those published numbers hold as Longcheer scales from a handful of stations to dozens. (prnewswire.com) (therobotreport.com)
