Editorial summaries

AEON

Hexagon's AEON is an industrial humanoid robot built for factory work such as assembly lines and high-voltage EV-battery manufacturing, developed with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and the Swiss actuator maker maxon. It carries 22 sensors and self-swapping batteries (about 23 seconds) for around-the-clock operation, with a walking speed near 2.5 meters per second.

DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity with one verified deployment, at BMW Group Plant Leipzig: the honest counterpoint to aggregator 'humanoids are working in factories at scale' framing, this is a verified pilot, not commercial-at-scale. As industrial equipment sold to manufacturers, it has no consumer price.

AgiBot Yuanzheng A2

The Yuanzheng A2 is the flagship full-size humanoid from AgiBot, an emerging Chinese manufacturer with commercial activity in China. No verified consumer price, availability, or delivery date is on record; the editorial position is honest-absence.
