The promotional video showcases the new range of five robots being mass produced by the Shanghai-based tech start-up Agibot.
The shiny footage shows eerie humanoid robots walking around on two legs and interacting with people
At the AIDEA Giga Data Factory, the tech can be seen doing everyday chores including making beds, cleaning tables and doing the laundry.
Some of the bots are built to closely resemble humans and are biped, meaning they walk around on two legs.
Others are more machine-like, moving around on wheels.
All of the bots, however, appear to be equipped with two humanoid arms which they use as their main tools.
The four-minute video walks the viewer through the production process, beginning with “material unloading” and ending with “inference”, where the robots are shown in-place performing a range like servants.
Agibot, founded in February 2023, released its first-ever model, Raise A1, in August 2023.
This machine was initially aimed at industrial applications, but the company have plans for it to become a general household assistant that can cook, do laundry and care for the elderly.
Its first full set of humanoid robots was unveiled on August 18 this year – five new wheeled and biped machines tailored for a range of tasks.
The tech firm spearheading the robot revolution was founded by former Huawei “Genius Youth” recruit Peng Zhihui.
Their flagship product is a biped humanoid robot called Yuanzheng A2 that stands 175cm tall and weighs 55 kg.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that it is equipped with a range of sensors and powered by AI – meaning it can see, hear and process text, audio and visual information.
The futuristic creation is even precise enough the thread a needle.
AGIBOT is aiming to challenge Tesla, which is developing a range of humanoid robots called Optimus.
Some market analysts have predicted a future product war between the two firms, with each competing to develop products the fastest.

Founder Peng told SCMP: “We have made some breakthroughs in product research and development in the past year, and we’re now at the forefront of the industry,” at the video launch.
“We don’t think the gap between the two sides [Optimus and Agibot] will be big. Our commercialisation and cost-control ability is better than that of Tesla.”
