FAQ Section
What is Agibot X2?
Agibot X2 is a compact humanoid robot platform offered in Lite, Pro, and Ultra trims for education, research, HRI, and light service roles.
How do the X2 variants differ?
Lite emphasizes accessibility with a lower DoF count (≈27). Pro raises dexterity to ~31 DoF with 7-DoF arms. Ultra adds enhanced sensors—often RGB-D and 3D LiDAR—and autonomous docking for extended, unattended operation.
Why is the X2 series important?
It offers a scalable path from classroom learning and early R&D to perception-rich, public-facing pilots, enabling embodied-AI and HRI research on a platform sized for human environments.
What developer tools are available?
The series uses AimDK_X2, a task-level SDK that provides motion modes, preset actions, sensor access, and integration hooks often used alongside ROS-adjacent workflows.
Does the Ultra include RGB-D and LiDAR by default?
Ultra is commonly marketed with depth and LiDAR capabilities; verify the exact camera/LiDAR models and mounting positions in the quotation.
Can I upgrade from Lite to Pro or Ultra later?
Mechanical and electronic differences may limit direct upgrades; however, software and behaviors built on AimDK_X2 often transfer across trims with minimal changes.
