AgiBot proposes “Worken”, a measure of the useful work robots do, and previews GO-3, its next robot foundation model

Chinese humanoid maker AgiBot used its Innovation Day 2026 in Shanghai on 29 October to propose “Worken”, a blend of “work” and “token”, as a way to measure how much productive work robots deliver rather than how many are built. The formula in its release is: “Worken = Number of Active Robots × Autonomous Working Hours × Output Efficiency Ratio”. The efficiency ratio compares a robot's output with a reference for the task, such as the acceptable work of a human worker.

Co-founder, president and chief technology officer Peng Zhihui said: “Worken is our attempt to develop a new way of answering that question.” The question, in his words, is how much productive work robots are actually delivering as they enter factories and warehouses.

AgiBot also introduced a preview of GO-3, its next embodied-AI foundation model, built around a framework it calls WRAM that joins reasoning, prediction and action. It showed the OmniHand 3 family of robot hands, a G2 Max industrial robot, and Link-U OS 1.0, a robot operating system now in testing with partners that it plans to make fully open source by the end of 2026.

The release repeats that AgiBot's 20,000th robot came off its production line in September. It gives no shipment figures, customers or prices for the new products.
