On February 8, 2026, AGIBOT hosted AGIBOT NIGHT in Shanghai—a 60-minute live global broadcast. The key feature was that the entire program was executed by robots, with no human hosts or performers on stage.
According to company representatives, the live format was intentional. AGIBOT aimed to demonstrate that embodied AI systems are ready for stable operation beyond labs and industrial sites. The show tested the reliability, synchronization, and coordination of multiple humanoid robots in a real public event setting.
The program included group dance routines, fashion walks, and choreographed performances requiring precise movement synchronization. Robots also served as hosts, announcing segments, managing transitions, and interacting on stage. Comedy sketches, musical acts, and magic shows performed entirely by machines drew particular attention.
In several episodes, humans did appear on stage—but not as hosts. These were collaborative dance and illusion numbers where humans and robots acted in real-time sync. This format highlighted a focus on live coordination between participants rather than pre-programmed tricks.
Beyond humanoid models, quadruped robots also participated. They performed alongside humanoid systems in shared choreography without noticeable pauses or desynchronization, showcasing interaction between robots of different form factors within a unified script.
AGIBOT used the event as a showcase of its own developments. Full-size humanoids handled guest navigation and large-scale stage performances, compact models demonstrated expressive mobility and human interaction, and industrial versions emphasized manipulation precision. Quadrupeds highlighted mobility.
Technically, the company prioritized stability over individual records. All robots operated continuously throughout the entire 60-minute show without reboots or stoppages. AGIBOT noted that by the end of 2025, over 5,000 humanoid robots had been deployed worldwide, making the event an example of scalable application rather than a one-off demonstration.
AGIBOT NIGHT took place during Chinese New Year celebrations—a time traditionally associated with family and community events. This choice emphasized the company's aim to present humanoid robots not as purely technical devices but as potential participants in cultural and social environments.
In a broader context, the event reflects a shift in the humanoid robotics industry: from experimental prototypes to systems capable of reliable operation in real public spaces and cultural formats.
