AGIBOT is using the record as evidence of repeatable humanoid production while it prepares a Hong Kong IPO, and the 110 robots now move into service and tourism work.
AGIBOT lined up 110 of its full-size Expedition A3 humanoid robots at the Yellow River International Convention and Exhibition Center in Jinan on October 24 and had them dance together for 5 minutes and 43 seconds. Hou Ying, an official Guinness World Records adjudicator, announced that the group had set the record for the most humanoid robots dancing simultaneously, according to Science and Technology Daily. IT Home, citing Qilu Evening News, reported that the adjudicator confirmed the final count of 110 and handed over a certificate on site.
The Shanghai company used the stage to make a claim about its factories. Wang Chuang, an AGIBOT partner and senior vice president, said every robot taking part was a production model and that none was a specially tuned demonstration unit, according to a Shangguan News report carried by Sina. "That confidence comes from the production line we have built," he said.
What the record measures is narrower than the headline number suggests. Guinness’s own listing for most robots dancing simultaneously still shows 1,372 machines, set in Rome in 2018 with UBTech’s Alpha 1S robots, each just under 40 cm tall. The record page credits Italy’s TIM with that attempt on February 1, 2018, and a Guinness news item from the time called the UBTech machines humanoids. Humanoids Daily says it is unclear how the new category differs from the earlier robot-dance records.
AGIBOT ran the routine on its own fleet software and radio positioning
The robots were coordinated by LinkBots, AGIBOT’s in-house platform for controlling groups of robots. Shangguan News reports that it lets operators design formations on screen, sends robots to their positions on their own, and runs several groups independently. It uses both 5G and Wi-Fi to keep more than 100 machines connected, and if one robot drops its link, the system adjusts the rest of the formation so the pattern holds.
Each A3 also carries ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning, a short-range radio system that fixes a robot’s location to within centimeters; Science and Technology Daily puts the accuracy at under 10 cm. Combined with LinkBots, it gives every robot the same clock and planned path, so moves stay synchronized to the millisecond, AGIBOT says. The routine included walking patterns, jumps, flips, wave effects and formations that spelled out countdown numbers, according to Shangguan News and the Global Times.
AGIBOT’s robots walked out of their transport boxes, calibrated their own positions and performed without engineers steering them by remote, Science and Technology Daily reports. Wang described the challenge as a scheduling problem covering real-time position sensing, distributed decisions and automatic obstacle avoidance. Getting those three right, he said, is "the core technical watershed" between a humanoid as a demonstration piece and a humanoid as productive equipment.
The production claim matters more to AGIBOT’s listing plans than the record
AGIBOT was founded in February 2023 by former Huawei executives Deng Taihua and Peng Zhihui, reported its 15,000th robot in June 2026 and posted 2025 revenue of RMB1.05 billion, according to Humanoids Daily. It began a Hong Kong IPO process on July 24, 2026, and was reported this month to be nearing a new funding round that could reset its IPO clock.
Wang framed the event around what he called the deployment stage. Its core "lies not in flashy stunts," he told Shangguan News, but in making robots work like mature production equipment and service terminals that are plug-and-play, run stably and can be copied and scaled quickly.
The wider industry is producing at volume. At an October 19 press conference, an official of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said China had developed more than 400 humanoid robot models and built over 40,000 units in the first half of 2026, and expected annual output to exceed 100,000, the Global Times reports. The ministry is also building a monitoring system for the sector. The same Global Times report notes that many robot applications remain at the pilot or early commercial stage, with reliability, adaptability and cost still major obstacles.
The 110 robots now head to metro stations, stages and classrooms
After the record attempt, the robots will be assigned to public services, tourism performances, exhibition halls, and research and education, AGIBOT told IT Home and Shangguan News. Its robots are already in pilot service at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center and Zhuanshan West Road metro stations, where they answer questions, guide passengers, help manage crowds and explain local culture. Science and Technology Daily adds security patrols to that list.
The A3 is designed for this kind of redeployment: it folds for storage, leaves its box under its own power at a venue and walks to its starting point, Shangguan News reports. Global Times describes the next step as large-scale deployment.
Wang’s claim will ultimately be tested in sales figures. If the Jinan metro pilots turn into paid contracts, and if AGIBOT’s Hong Kong prospectus shows how many A3 units it has shipped and to whom, investors will be able to judge whether 110 identical robots on a stage reflect a production line that can deliver them by the hundred.
