The humanoid games were won by a hand, not a leg: seven of AgiBot's 18 golds came from a gripper

AgiBot closed the second World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing at the top of both medal tables — 18 gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze, 46 medals in total — in what the company describes as its debut at the event. The distribution of those medals says more than the total. Seven golds were won by something that does not walk at all: OmniHand, the company's dexterous hand, reached the finals of all eight manipulation events and won seven of them, including block building, powder weighing and picking beans with tweezers. Five more golds came from scenario-based events — hotel service, library operations and emergency response. Only two golds came from the kind of contest that dominated the opening days: X2 won the 100 m obstacle race and A3 won the tai chi event. AgiBot entered four machines in total — OmniHand, the Genie G2 already working on factory floors, A3 and X2. That is a shift in what the games measure. The first days of the tournament were about sprint times and records; the overall table was taken by a company that won only two events on the track. The points sat where a robot has to grip something, measure it out, or complete a job on the spot — the work that decides whether a humanoid is useful in a warehouse or a hospital corridor. Two caveats belong with these numbers. The tally comes from the winner's own press release, which does not say who finished second or third, and the organisers have not published a full table in text form. The release also refers simply to "A3"; our catalogue documents the A3 Ultra shown in July 2026, and the company does not specify whether the same variant competed.
