June 11, 2026 – Agibot has launched the Lingxi X2 EDU edition, a purpose-built humanoid robot platform designed specifically for academic research, engineering training, and competitive robotics development.
Dubbed the “Everyone Can Build” version, the robot emphasizes openness above all else. Users can swap between grippers, simulated hands, and even fist-shaped end effectors to suit different experimental needs—whether that’s object manipulation, human-robot interaction, or locomotion studies.
Standing 130 cm tall with a head attachment and weighing 35 kg, the platform offers 29 degrees of freedom across the full body, with each arm contributing 7 DOF. It can carry up to 3 kg at its end effector and reach a top walking speed of 1.8 m/s.
What sets the EDU variant apart is its hardware-level accessibility. Power and data ports are fully exposed, allowing integration with external sensors for multi-directional research. The onboard compute board supports user-installed secondary development boards, while control over joints and grippers is open for embedded programming and mechatronics integration.
On the software side, low-level motion control interfaces are publicly available, enabling students and researchers to develop and test custom locomotion algorithms from the ground up.
The chassis and exterior panels are also modular, supporting cosmetic customization and structural modifications to fit classroom demos, science fairs, or specialized research projects.
