Six AGIBOT G2 humanoid robots participated in a 24-hour trial at a convenience store in Shanghai, completing a total of 1,730 tasks. The robots were tested on various duties including customer service, food preparation, and cleaning. However, only four of the robots passed the performance assessment, indicating challenges in adapting AI to dynamic retail environments.
This trial, named 'Robots Never Clock Out,' showcased the potential of humanoid robots in retail settings but also highlighted the difficulties they face in unpredictable scenarios. The robots engaged in customer interactions, product handling, and food service, with a total of 683 customer-service interactions and 369 product pickups.
AGIBOT reported that the trial exposed the robots to varying customer activity levels and store conditions. The two robots that did not pass the assessment struggled particularly with cleaning and shelf management tasks. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
