Editorial summaries
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.
Unitree R1
The R1 is Unitree's price-floor entry into the same research-and-developer category as the G1, lowering the cost barrier to humanoid hardware for hobbyists, education, and capability researchers. The three R1 configurations differ in capability rather than presenting a buyer-tier ladder; the EDU variant adds the research-platform extensions a lab would want. Unitree describes R1 as developer-tool hardware, with the published specs as the verifiable substance and no commercial deployment record on file. The verified-vs-claimed lens applies differently to a developer platform: hardware credibility is the relevant claim, commercial deployment is not yet in scope.
