AGIBOT, a developer of embodied AI and robotics, hosted the UK AGIBOT Partner Conference (APC) 2026 in London, marking a key step in the company’s European growth strategy and its continued effort to build long-term commercial value for humanoid robotics through technology innovation, real-world deployment, and local partnerships. “Through UK APC2026, we hope to work more closely with local partners to bring AGIBOT’s technologies, products, and service capabilities into practical applications, and to use the UK as an important starting point for broader deployment across Europe.”

“AGIBOT is one of the most dynamic companies in the global humanoid robotics industry, with a strong product portfolio and a clear focus on real-world deployment,” said Shyen Kotecha, head of robotics and connectivity at Scancom. The deployment is designed to explore how AGIBOT robots can support customer attraction, traffic engagement, reception, guided interaction, brand promotion, and smart retail experiences in shopping malls and commercial spaces. By working with local partners in real-world retail environments, AGIBOT is testing how embodied AI robots can create more interactive, flexible, and service-oriented customer experiences in the UK.

Beyond the UK, AGIBOT has been expanding its European presence across key markets including Italy, Germany, and Spain, building local partnerships around scenario adaptation, localized services, distribution, and flexible deployment models.
