   The Humanoid Hub summarized AGIBOT Innovation Day: WITA-Omni 1.0, an omni-modal model that listens while speaking and runs on-device with ~400ms end-to-end latency. AGIBOT proposed 'Worken' (active robots × autonomous hours × output efficiency) to measure useful work over units shipped. It also showed the AHA3 humanoid platform (liquid-cooled IP67 joints, OmniHand 3), the GO-3 Preview foundation model, the G2 Max industrial robot with a 40kg dual-arm lift, and Link-U OS 1.0 slated to be open-sourced by end of 2026. Benchmark rankings are company-reported.

   CyberRobo describes Hisense's second home humanoid, Savvy 02: 28 DoF, 5kg+ per arm and 1.5 m/s on an omnidirectional base; it can fold clothes, tidy, prep food, feed pets and run the washer and fridge. Its torso folds but it can't do stairs, with a workspace of roughly a 3 m-diameter cylinder 0–2 m high. The poster suggests extensions to restaurants, hotels and supermarkets (opinion). LG, Midea and Haier are pursuing similar products.
