China's humanoid robot with full embodied AI works at auto factory

China has deployed AlphaBot2, a general-purpose humanoid robot with full embodied AI, in an automotive factory operated by Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co. Developed by Shenzhen-based AI² Robotics, AlphaBot2 performs diverse tasks such as quality inspection, assembly, logistics, and maintenance. This deployment marks the first full-scenario validation of a domestically developed embodied AI model in China’s automotive sector. The robot leverages real factory data to continuously improve its spatial intelligence and learning capabilities through a feedback loop with AI² Robotics’ self-developed embodied large model, enhancing its efficiency, precision, and adaptability in complex, evolving manufacturing environments. AlphaBot2 is powered by the advanced GOVLA AI model, a Vision-Language-Action system built on the AI²R Brain platform, enabling near-human dexterity and full-body coordination with over 34 degrees of freedom. It features 360° spatial sensing, autonomous navigation, and a vertical working range of up to 240 cm, with over six hours of battery life for extended operations. The robot’s flexible manipulation and rapid adaptation reduce deployment time and support mixed-model automotive production lines, demonstrating significant advancements in intelligent manufacturing and factory automation in China.
