You Can Now Rent This Robot For $1,000 Per Day

The Agibot A2 is now available to rent for almost $1,000 USD per day.

Agibot

Agibot, the top-selling humanoid robot maker on the planet, just announced its robots-as-a-service (RaaS) rental model for humanoid, wheeled and quadruped robots. The goal: making robots more affordable and accessible for companies and individuals considering deploying robots. Unfortunately, there’s a big problem: renting these Agibot robots is incredibly expensive.

Which means that currently, this is a toy, a tester, a conversation-starter or a branding curiosity, rather than a real working robot for long-term value.

“From private events and brand activations to everyday business use, Agibot’s rental model makes it easy and affordable for companies to use humanoid robots,” a representative told me via email. “Local partners provide support throughout the process from delivery to on-site setup and operation.”

That’s actually true, despite the $1,000/day cost, because if you’re going to use one of Agibot’s A2 Series full-sized humanoid robots for a reception or event to be your show-floor ambassador and visitors, it’d be a lot more costly to buy the entire robot, get it shipped, set up, trained, and operational. Agibot hasn’t publicly released full pricing yet, but it’s likely in the low six figures.

With the rental model, $1,000 a day buys you delivery, setup, hand-holding and no long-term asset cost. Important note: that’s the “starting from” price. It goes up from there.

Obviously at $29,400 per month or $357,700 per year, you’re not going to be signing a long-term RaaS deal here. Instead, you’ll go to AliExpress and buy a Unitree G1 basic humanoid robot for about $30,000.

For now, workers can breathe a quick sigh of relief. At $1,000 per day, these robots are unlikely to replace warehouse workers or front-desk staff anytime soon. For now, the math works best for marketing budgets, not payroll.

But costs should come down quickly with mass production.

Futurist and inventor Peter Diamandis thinks we’ll get to around $10/day in about a decade. At that point, watch out.

“California minimum wage is 20 bucks an hour,” he told me last year. “How do you ever not put a robot in that spot at 40 cents an hour?”

Agibot’s robots as a service model currently covers several core models:

• A2 Series: Full-sized humanoid robots designed for reception, guided interaction and customer-facing roles. A2 models are show-floor ambassadors built to greet visitors, provide directions and handle basic conversational tasks.
• X2 Series: More compact humanoids aimed at entertainment, education and research. Their smaller footprint makes them easier to deploy in classrooms, labs and interactive exhibits.
• G2: A wheeled humanoid optimized for industrial precision assembly and continuous operations, powered by real-world reinforcement learning. Unlike the more theatrical A2 and X2, the G2 is aimed squarely at factory floors and repetitive task environments.

The G2 is probably where the “starting from” comes in on the $1,000/day rental pricing. It’s a heavier, more capable model, and while you won’t rent it at this price just for show, it might be worthwhile to bring in as a test to a production or logistics environment for a few weeks.

Agibot’s RaaS service is now live in 17 countries and regions, including Spain, Germany, France, Italy and the U.K., as well as North America and Malaysia.
