Thread: robots — AgiBot's 24-hour Shanghai convenience store robot shift · new
What happened: Six AgiBot Genie G2 humanoid robots worked a 24-hour shift at an operating convenience store in Shanghai's Xuhui district on November 2 and 3, greeting customers, serving food and drinks, restocking shelves and wiping down tables — with the trial livestreamed throughout.
What's genuinely new: The trial's specifics: a stated robot count, model, location, dates and task list for a full-day service deployment at a working store, rather than a demo stage. One write-up notes the livestream came with no audited task log or performance data, so capability claims rest on the company's own staging for now.
Watch: Any audited task data from the livestream, whether the trial converts into a commercial service deployment, and what the store's operator and human staff do next.
