AGIBOT introduced Worken, a proposed measure combining active robots, autonomous hours and output efficiency, alongside new hardware, models, an industrial robot and an open-source operating system.
AGIBOT is proposing a new way to measure whether deployed robots are doing useful work, not merely how many have been manufactured. Its Worken framework multiplies the number of active robots by autonomous working hours and an output-efficiency ratio.
The distinction matters because two fleets of the same size can deliver very different results. A robot that needs frequent intervention or completes less acceptable work than a human benchmark may add less value than shipment numbers suggest. Worken excludes idle inventory and powered-on time that is not autonomous work.
The framework is still a company proposal, not an industry standard. Task benchmarks will differ across material handling, inspection and public-service roles, and the output-efficiency ratio could be difficult to compare without transparent definitions. AGIBOT says it plans to refine the measure with operating data.
The company also unveiled its AHA3 humanoid architecture, GO-3 Preview embodied-AI model and WITA-Omni interaction model. It launched the G2 Max industrial robot, which has 21 degrees of freedom, a dual-arm handling capacity of up to 40 kilograms and a working-height range of 0.1 to 2.5 meters. Demonstrated uses include factory material handling, semiconductor packaging, logistics and visitor services.
AGIBOT says its model ranked first on several robotics benchmarks, but the accessible release does not provide independent validation or enough detail to compare test conditions. Real deployment evidence such as cycle time, intervention rates, safety and accepted output will matter more.
Link-U OS 1.0 is being tested by selected partners and is planned to become fully open source by the end of 2026. AGIBOT says its ecosystem includes 255 universities, 511 enterprises and more than 80,000 developers.
Worken is the most consequential idea in the announcement because it shifts attention toward utilization and economics. Its credibility will depend on standardized definitions, auditable data and proof that the same metric can describe very different jobs without hiding failure rates or human support.
