AGIBOT G2 humanoids run a Shanghai convenience store for 24 hours, logging 1,730 tasks
Six AGIBOT G2 humanoid robots worked a full 24-hour shift in an open convenience store in Shanghai's Xuhui district, from 10 a.m. Nov. 2 to 10 a.m. Nov. 3 Beijing time, in a livestream AGIBOT called "Robots Never Clock Out." Each robot had a job: greeter, stockers, barista, checkout and hot food, and table cleaner.
AGIBOT says the six completed 1,730 tasks and the stream drew more than 2 million viewers, Shanghai Securities News reports. A breakdown cited by Securities Times lists 683 customer greetings, 369 items fetched, 147 coffees and 126 breakfast orders. AGIBOT describes the run as having no human demonstrations or on-site tuning.
Why it matters
The tally is AGIBOT's own and leaves out a success rate or how often humans stepped in. Chinese media reported the robots occasionally failed tasks during the shift.
