AI² Robotics introduced the wheeled humanoid robot AlphaBot 2
English translation from Unibot. Source published 2026-09-14.
AlphaBot 2 is a wheeled humanoid from Shenzhen-based AI² Robotics. It is prepared for production and the service sector.
How it works
Height - 180 cm, weight - 135 kg. The upper body has a humanoid form, and instead of legs there is a platform on six wheels. Two five-fingered hands, adjustable waist: it raises and tilts the body.
This design allows you to reach from the floor to the top shelf, but the robot confidently moves only on flat surfaces.
Characteristics and markets
In total, it has 34 degrees of freedom, 16 of them in the hands. Maximum speed - 6 km/h, load capacity - 15 kg, autonomy - up to six hours on a single charge.
Declared markets: logistics, manufacturing, government services and hospitality. Target sites include factories and semiconductor production lines.
Safety and ratings
AlphaBot 2 is designed to work safely around people. Its Skill Score on Humanoid.Guide is 3 out of 10, which is in development stage. Navigation is rated 1 out of 5, manipulations 2 out of 5.
Software and computing core
The robot runs on the AlphaBrain platform from AI² Robotics - it is a vision-language-action system. Operating system - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
The computing core is NVIDIA AGX Orin with 64 GB of memory, it runs vision processing and a built-in large language model.
Cameras and communications
Cameras: RGB 1920x1080 on the head, chest and back. Plus RGB-D 1280x720 in both wrists for close-in vision when grabbing objects.
Communications - CAN, Ethernet, HDMI, RJ45, RS485, USB 3.0, WiFi and over-the-air updates. Each joint is driven by its own AI² Robotics electric motor.
Why do you need a wheelbase?
The wheelbase provides mobility in workshops and service areas. And the articulated body and arms allow you to move and perform simple manipulations at different heights.
Availability and price
AlphaBot 2 is already in production. It was shown as a commercial model in April 2025.
Humanoid.guide indicates a price of $70,000, and invites buyers to send a request describing the task and location.
Pragmatic choice
AI² Robotics is marketing the robot to organizations that need a stable wheeled manipulation platform rather than a walking system. Six wheels are a pragmatic choice: reliability, stability and less manufacturing complexity for structured spaces.
Part of a new class of robots
AlphaBot 2 is important as part of a growing class of human form factor machines designed for real-world work in logistics, manufacturing, semiconductor, hospitality and government sectors.
Wheeled mobility, adjustable reach, cameras and AI-powered controls are all aimed at repeatable tasks in spaces built for people.
