AGIBOT introduced Worken, a proposed framework for measuring the productive work robots perform in real-world environments, at AGIBOT Innovation Day 2026 in Shanghai. Combining “Work” and “Token,” the concept shifts attention from how many robots are built or deployed toward how much useful work they deliver autonomously and consistently. The formula is Worken = Number of Active Robots × Autonomous Working Hours × Output Efficiency Ratio, where the third factor compares acceptable output against a human benchmark for a defined task. AGIBOT positions it for applications including industrial handling, logistics, inspection and commercial services, and notes that software and AI improvements may let the same machine deliver more useful work over its operating life — relevant when weighing output against lifecycle costs.
Key takeaways
- Worken counts only robots actively performing tasks, not units manufactured or in inventory, and measures autonomous working time rather than powered-on time.
- AGIBOT unveiled AHA3, a third-generation humanoid architecture described as its first commercial “Three Intelligences in One” platform, with Wi-Fi 6 and 5G connectivity, a joint liquid-cooling system and IP67-rated joints.
- A new dexterous-hand family (OmniHand 3 Lite, 3 and Ultra) and the OmniPicker 3 tactile gripper target fine manipulation.
- The AGILE motion framework gains a self-evolving agent capability; GO-3 Preview is built on a World Reasoning Action Model with demonstrated zero-shot and few-shot capabilities.
- AGIBOT formally launched the G2 Max industrial robot and Link-U OS 1.0, and introduced the MEgo Glove wearable tactile data-collection device.
AGIBOT describes Worken as an evolving framework to be refined through deployments and operational data, with task-specific benchmarks as the next step. The “2026 Embodied Intelligence Industry Innovation Report,” compiled by China Economic Information Service and CAICT’s Shanghai Industrial Innovation Center, includes Worken and AGIBOT deployment examples in its industry analysis.
