The humanoid combines intuitive human-robot interaction, the world's most precise robotic hand according to the company, and an innovative AI model that has been trained on real industrial data. Production takes place entirely in-house at a new production facility in Bavaria.

Agile Robots was founded in 2018 by Zhaopeng Chen and other experts from the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Since then, the company has doubled its annual turnover and generated around 200 million euros in 2024.

Physical AI as the future of the industry

"At Agile Robots, we are convinced that the next industrial revolution will be characterized by Physical AI: intelligent, autonomous and flexible robots that can perceive, understand and act in the physical world. Agile ONE embodies this vision," says Dr. Zhaopeng Chen, CEO and founder of Agile Robots.

Versatile industrial applications

Agile ONE is designed for a wide range of industrial tasks, including material handling, pick-and-place operations, machine operation, tool use and precision manipulation tasks.

"The real added value for our industrial customers lies not in a single intelligent humanoid, but in a fully networked and intelligent production system," says Chen. "We see Agile ONE as part of a perfectly coordinated automation solution, where each system is connected and learns from each other. This approach of applying Physical AI to entire production systems enables our customers to achieve a whole new level of efficiency and quality."

What can the Agile ONE do?

Agile ONE was designed as a stable, flexible, tactile and communicative humanoid. The most important features include:

• Precise hands: Agile ONE's hands mimic human dexterity. With fingertip sensors and force-torque sensors in each joint, the robot can master both delicate and powerful tasks with unparalleled precision and adaptability.
  
  
• AI trains on real data: Agile Robots' AI model is based on one of Europe's largest industrial data sets, as well as simulated and human-captured data. This strengthens Agile ONE's ability to handle complex tasks in real working environments.
  
  
• Comprehensive AI architecture: Agile Robots takes an innovative approach to humanoid intelligence using a multi-layered AI architecture. Each layer specializes in a specific level of cognition and control: strategic thinking and task planning, fast reaction time and fine motor precision. The result is a highly adaptable robot that combines cognitive depth with tactile sensitivity.
  
  
• Human-friendly UX design: With a clear, colorful design, responsive eyes, proximity sensors and an information display on the chest, Agile ONE places great emphasis on safe and comfortable interaction between humans and robots.

Series production and Industrial AI Cloud

Series production of Agile ONE is scheduled to start in early 2026 at the new production facility in Bavaria. Agile Robots manufactures all products itself to ensure the highest quality and control.

The continuous training of Agile ONE's AI model and other Agile Robots solutions will take place in Telekom and NVIDIA's recently announced Industrial AI Cloud, hosted in data centers in Germany. The Industrial AI Cloud, built on 10,000 NVIDIA GPUs, provides Agile Robots with the computing power it needs to train AI models and generate new data for simulation and training purposes - all in Europe and fully compliant with European data protection standards.
