AgiBot Robotics Excels at IROS 2025 with the Successful Conclusion of the AgiBot World Challenge
AgiBot Robotics Takes Center Stage at IROS 2025
From October 19 to 25, 2025, Hangzhou hosted the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025). This prestigious event focuses on the significant developments in robotics and artificial intelligence, underpinned by the theme of "Frontiers of Human-Robot Interaction." AgiBot Robotics made a noteworthy debut at this conference, making a strong statement in the field of embodied intelligence.
AgiBot used this opportunity to showcase its full lineup of products, including the innovative G1, G2, X2, and A2 models, each demonstrating cutting-edge technology in real-world applications. The exhibition pavilion was a hive of activity, where AgiBot's A2 completed processes related to desktop item recognition and cleaning, while the G1 model efficiently handled automated parcel supply operations.
The event reached its zenith with the inaugural AgiBot World Challenge, co-hosted with OpenDriveLab, featuring two main tracks: Manipulation and World Model. With a staggering total prize pool of $560,000, the competition drew participation from 431 top-tier teams hailing from 23 countries across five continents. Contestants included representatives from universities and research institutions demonstrating their technological prowess.
The Manipulation track showcased fierce competition, where 11 elite teams progressed to the offline finals after rigorous online simulations. The final event, held on October 21 and 22, was intensely competitive, highlighting skillful execution on AgiBot's platform. The ultimate winner of this exciting contest secured a cash prize of $10,000.
Additionally, the World Model track explored the potential for AI to predict physical interactions with the environment, utilizing the open-source AgiBot World dataset, which allowed participants to make significant enhancements in this increasingly vital aspect of robotics.
The outcomes of the AgiBot World Challenge were remarkable. Notably, in the World Model category, VIPL-GENUN from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences won first place. HD-Robo from HiDream.ai Inc. secured second place, followed by SHIELD-LMD from Alibaba Cloud in third. In the Manipulation track, AIR-DREAM from Tsinghua University's Shanghai AI Lab took home the first prize, with Notonlysim from the South China University of Technology and Firebot from the University of Hong Kong claiming second and third respectively.
By providing a platform for these innovations, AgiBot has solidified itself as a leader in robotics, pushing the boundaries of technology and fostering a collaborative environment for emerging talents in the field. As IROS 2025 wrapped up, it left an undeniable mark on the audience and participants alike, setting the stage for future advancements. The successful conclusion of the AgiBot World Challenge reflects the commitment to innovation and excellence that drives the robotics industry forward.
With such impactful showcases and breakthroughs, AgiBot Robotics has undoubtedly made a lasting impression at IROS 2025, paving the way for future endeavors and technologies in human-robot interactions.
