Agibot Partners with 20+ Universities for Embodied AI Talent Development
Agibot announced its 'Yuansheng Ecological Development Plan', partnering with over 20 top Chinese universities to invest more than 200 million RMB in embodied AI hardware, software, and talent development. The initiative will provide over 1,000 robots across its full product lineup and grant access to its AIMA development platform. This collaboration bridges the gap between cutting-edge industrial technology and academic research by addressing the critical shortage of hardware and software resources in universities. It aims to build a sustainable talent ecosystem for the rapidly growing robotics and embodied AI industry. Partner universities include Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Participating students will utilize the AIMA development platform, which combines hardware practice with software tools like LinkSoul, LinkCraft, and Genie Studio.
