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.

Ameca

Ameca, from UK-based Engineered Arts, is the famous expressive humanoid: 61 actuated movements (27 DoF head/face plus 34 DoF upper body), 50+ facial expressions, and conversational AI via the Tritium software with LLM and speech integration (Generation 3 shown at ICRA 2025). It is a stationary communication and showpiece robot, not a mobile general-purpose worker.

It is commercially offered for purchase and rental at about $250,000. The expressiveness and conversation are real; what it is not is a walking, working humanoid.
