AGIBOT puts six humanoid robots in 24-hour convenience store challenge
AGIBOT said the 24-hour livestream tested whether six G2 humanoid robots could handle rush periods, overnight duty and breakfast preparation in a store.
- On November 2, Chinese manufacturer AGIBOT deployed six G2 humanoid robots for a 24-hour convenience store challenge in Shanghai's Xuhui district, testing their ability to perform retail tasks alongside human staff and customers.
- Titled "Robots Never Clock Out," the livestream showcased machines navigating various retail conditions, including lunch rushes, evening crowds, overnight duty, and breakfast preparation to demonstrate operational performance.
- Robots completed 1,730 tasks during the 24-hour trial, including 683 customer greetings, 369 item retrievals and deliveries, and 147 coffees, providing detailed evidence of operational output.
- Only four of the six machines passed their probation; the cleaning robot and one shelf-patrol unit struggled, with the cleaning bot deviating from its route after encountering a full trash can.
- Experts caution that the livestream does not prove uninterrupted autonomous operation, as reports do not specify whether machines required charging breaks, maintenance, or human assistance during the shift.
