AgiBot and ASD, a Chinese cookware and kitchenware company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE: 002403), have placed 100 AGIBOT X2 humanoid robots across 100 retail locations. AgiBot's announcement is datelined Shanghai on 28 September 2026 and lists ASD flagship stores, hypermarkets, community events and retail service hubs as the settings [1].

In the stores, the robots act as sales assistants. They greet customers, explain products and tailor cookware recommendations to household size, cooking habits and budget. For promotions, inventory questions and final purchases, they hand the customer to a human associate [1]. The release gives one example: a family of three looking for a wok under RMB 1,000 was guided to a product and then passed to staff [1].

Live streams from stores in Wenling, Shanghai and Wuxi ran from 28 to 30 September, 10 hours a day [1]. AgiBot's CTO, Zhihui Peng, said: 'Retail environments present a very different challenge from controlled demonstrations' [1].

What changes in our database

The X2 record now lists retail service as a use case, alongside entertainment, education and research. The release does not give prices, purchase terms or the commercial arrangement, so the price and availability fields are unchanged [1].
