AgiBot has begun rolling out its YuanSheng ecosystem program into Chinese universities, saying a first group of more than 20 schools will co-build teaching and research platforms for embodied AI. Named partners include Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology.
The company plans to place more than 1,000 real robots on campus, spanning wheeled Genie units, compact Lingxi humanoids, full-size Expedition humanoids and quadrupeds from its AgiQuad line. The goal, AgiBot says, is to close the gap between classroom theory and scarce research hardware so students can train models, debug algorithms and run tasks on physical machines.
Software comes with the hardware. Universities get access to AIMA, AgiBot's embodied development stack that includes LinkSoul for agent applications, LinkCraft for robot authoring and Genie Studio for end-to-end task workflows. Together, the machine fleet and software membership rights are valued at about 200 million yuan under the company's own accounting of product and license value, not as an external financing round.
YuanSheng itself was framed earlier this year as a multi-year ecosystem effort. AgiBot says the program has already connected with 237 research institutions and more than 500 partners, and counts over 10,000 application developers plus more than 70,000 subscribed developers. The university track adds course co-design, joint research and hands-on training to that partner network.
The move is an education and talent play rather than a single product launch: AgiBot is packing bodies, software seats and curriculum hooks into one package so labs can run embodied AI projects without waiting for scarce robot inventory.
