What reviewers found
AGIBOT X2 Neo
- Engadget (Karissa Bell): Saw X2 at CES 2026 walking, waving and dancing; found it a bit more nimble than the larger A2. An AGIBOT rep partly controlled the robots with a dedicated controller, so the demo was not fully autonomous. Source
- heise: Reported AGIBOT's video of the Lingxi X2 doing a one legged Webster flip and cautioned that acrobatic demo videos often show only the successful attempts. Source
Unitree H2
- Live Science (Owen Hughes): Reported on Unitree's launch video of H2 posing, doing pirouettes and karate moves. Said specifics on H2 were thin and did not say whether the moves were autonomous or teleoperated. Source
- eWeek (Aminu Abdullahi): Reported a $29,900 starting price, 182 cm, about 70 kg, 31 joints and about 3 hours of battery. All footage was Unitree's own promo video; no hands on test. The face does not blink or smile. Source
