Agibot's humanoid robots may give instructions and be taught your TikTok dances

For higher or worse, CES 2026 is already shaping as much as be an enormous 12 months for humanoid robots. Chinese language firm Agibot confirmed up with two: the roughly human-sized A2 and the marginally smaller X2, each of which have been displaying their surprisingly spectacular dancing talents.

We watched each robots stroll round, wave at passersby and showcase their greatest strikes. The bigger A2 principally saved its legs nonetheless and danced primarily with its arms. The smaller X2 however is a little more nimble — it has a bigger set of “ft” to provide it extra stability — and people talents have been on full show.

On the time we noticed them, the robots have been managed partially by an Agibot rep utilizing a devoted controller, however the firm instructed me the robots are in a position to transfer autonomously in areas as soon as they have been ready to make use of their onboard sensors to map out their  environmentThe firm, which has already shipped a number of thousand robots in China and plans to make them accessible in the USA this 12 months, says each the A2 and X2 are meant to supply a versatile platform so individuals can work together with the robots in quite a lot of conditions.

Agibot envisions the bigger A2 as a type of hospitality helper robotic that may greet guests at museums or conferences (like CES) and supply instructions and even stroll alongside their human visitors.

The smaller X2 however might be suited to academic functions or different situations when you may want a robotic with barely extra human-like actions. It might even be a great TikTok companion, as Agibot’s head of communications, Yuheng Feng defined to me. “Take a Tiktok video, for instance,you need to use that video to coach the robotic, [so] it could actually additionally dance precisely such as you did within the video.”

The corporate hasn’t given particulars on when its robots would possibly present up within the US or how a lot they may price. Feng instructed me rather a lot will depend upon how firms need to use them as a result of their {hardware} is ready to be personalized relying on the use case. For now, although, we’ll simply soak within the dance strikes.
