At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, Shanghai-based AgiBot and China Telecom showcased their joint innovation, "6G plus Quadruped Robots," for the first time.

Using the integrated communication, sensing capabilities and extensive connectivity of 6G networks, the operational radius of the intelligent robots has been expanded from the ground to underground areas, uninhabited regions and other extremely complex environments.

Currently, quadruped robots are widely applied in various fields such as industry, security, emergency rescue, entertainment and commerce. Combined with 6G, they will have even more extensive application scenarios, especially in areas unsuitable for human access.

The 6G mobile communication technology supports higher transmission rates and extremely low latency. Unlike previous generations of communication upgrades, 6G is deeply integrated with artificial intelligence. The embodied intelligent agents can operate in areas that are difficult for humans to reach or where it is impossible for them to stay for prolonged periods, such as nuclear facilities, deep-sea oil platforms and lunar surface bases.

AgiBot's "6G plus Quadruped Robots" series is expected to accelerate its first wave of commercialization in 2029 or 2030. By that time, the intelligence of the robots will be significantly improved and the price will drop significantly.
