Chinese startup Agibot has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) to jointly build a joint platform for embodied intelligence with international influence.

The agreement centers on in-depth collaboration in the cutting-edge research and development of embodied large models, aiming to accelerate the transition of cutting-edge technologies from the laboratory to large-scale real-world applications, while cultivating AI talent in Hong Kong, according to Agibot's announcement on Tuesday.

Under this partnership, Agibot will provide dedicated R&D funding, robot hardware platforms, and data resources to support the joint platform.

The CUHK will leverage its academic strengths in AI to organize research teams for collaborative innovation with Agibot.

The two parties will also establish a regular joint training mechanism for high-level talent, providing exclusive internship opportunities for young Hong Kong professionals to engage with the industry's cutting edge, Agibot said.

On Monday, Agibot rolled off its production line the 10,000th general-purpose embodied robot, with a production pace that exceeded previous market expectations and surpassed that of its competitor Tesla in the mass production race.

In 2025, Agibot accounted for a 39% market share of global humanoid robot shipments with over 5,100 units delivered, according to a report by market research firm Omdia.

Shanghai-based Agibot has produced its 10,000th humanoid robot, reaching the milestone a quarter ahead of schedule.
