About

About AlphaBot 2

AlphaBot 2 is AI squared Robotics' second-generation general-purpose embodied robot for industrial and service workflows. Its mobile body, articulated arms and perception system support handling, inspection, navigation and interaction across factories and commercial environments.

The robot runs AI squared Robotics' Alpha Brain model stack, which combines scene understanding, language instructions and physical task execution. Teleoperation and real-world data collection support skill development before deployment. AlphaBot 2 entered commercial application programmes following its April 2025 launch in Shenzhen.
