Welcome, A3 Ultra!
A3 Ultra is a full size humanoid from Shanghai robotics manufacturer AGIBOT, designed for commercial service environments. Standing 174 cm tall and weighing 60 kg, it combines a magnesium alloy structure with a carbon fiber nylon hybrid frame. Its listed maximum speed is 7 km/h, with a stated strength specification of 10 kg and an operating runtime of eight hours per charge. Autonomous charging supports extended deployment schedules. Each hand has five fingers, while AGIBOT electric joint actuators provide movement throughout the body. Its demonstrated capability set includes obstacle avoidance, sorting goods, assembling products and folding clothes. A Humanoid.Guide score of 4 out of 10 places it in the developing category, with manipulation rated 3 out of 5 and navigation rated 1 out of 5. That balance makes manipulation the stronger rated area, rather than indicating equally advanced mobility and handling. The robot incorporates an embodied AI processor rated at 700 TOPS, alongside multiple cameras for environmental perception and task execution.
Obstacle avoidance draws on a perception system that includes an RGB depth camera, a terrain RGB depth camera, wide angle binocular RGB vision and three fisheye surround cameras. Indoor positioning uses UWB, while outdoor positioning uses RTK, with stated positioning accuracy of about one centimetre. Sorting goods, assembling products and folding clothes represent distinct manipulation tasks involving object handling and coordinated movement. These capabilities provide concrete areas for evaluating the robot in practical trials, including how consistently it handles different objects and completes repeated tasks. Its manipulation rating indicates a developing level of proficiency, not universal mastery across materials or assembly processes. Connectivity includes 5G with dual eSIM support and a physical SIM option.
A3 Ultra is listed as in production, with an advertised price of USD 50,000 and an inquiry option for prospective buyers. Its broader significance lies in bringing mobility, perception and manipulation into a single humanoid platform intended for commercial deployment. The stated safety design includes risk prediction at three metres, stopping on contact, two emergency stops and fall protection. CE and FCC certifications are also listed. For organizations considering adoption, the developing overall score makes task specific validation important, particularly when evaluating consistency, supervision requirements and integration into existing workflows. The combination of eight hour runtime and autonomous charging addresses operational continuity, while its current capability profile offers a defined starting point for deployment assessment.
