AGIBOT has debuted its A3 humanoid robot in London and launched a rental service model in the UK, making advanced robotics accessible without large upfront investment.
The company is testing real-world applications in retail, education, and logistics, and is expanding across Europe as it builds local partnerships to scale embodied AI adoption.
What happened
AGIBOT held its UK Partner Conference in London and unveiled the European debut of its A3 humanoid robot, a 173 cm tall machine weighing 55 kg with up to 10 hours of battery life and 10-second battery swapping. The company also introduced a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) rental model in the UK, where humanoid robots rent from £1,999 per day and quadruped robots from £899 per day.
Why it matters
AGIBOT is lowering the cost barrier for businesses and institutions to test embodied AI robots (robots that perform physical tasks in the real world) without large upfront capital investment. The RaaS model is designed to help schools, universities, service providers, and enterprises explore practical applications in education, retail, logistics, and commercial services across the UK and Europe.
What to watch
The company is already conducting retail deployment at Smart City in Milton Keynes, showcasing the A3 alongside earlier models (X2, A2) and the D1 quadruped robot in a consumer-facing environment. AGIBOT is expanding beyond the UK into Italy, Germany, and Spain as part of its long-term European deployment strategy.
