AGIBOT proposes "Worken," a unit for how much useful work a robot fleet does
AGIBOT, the Shanghai maker, used its Innovation Day to propose Worken, a measure of robot output: active robots, multiplied by hours worked autonomously, multiplied by output against a reference such as a human worker's acceptable rate on the same task. It also unveiled AHA3, its third-generation humanoid hardware platform, with liquid-cooled joints for continuous operation and three new A.
AGIBOT says its 20,000th robot came off the line in September, but it published no Worken figures for its own fleet. A metric that discounts idle and teleoperated hours is the right question for a sector that reports production counts; it becomes evidence only when somebody publishes the number. SourcesA
