## Defining Effective Intelligent Work

AGIBOT unveiled the Worken framework at its 2026 Innovation Day in Shanghai. The metric calculates productive output by multiplying active robot counts, autonomous working hours, and task efficiency ratios. This approach shifts industry focus from manufacturing volume to the actual, consistent value robots deliver within real-world factory and service environments.

## Core Components of Worken

The framework distinguishes between powered-on time and actual autonomous labor. It counts only robots actively performing tasks, excluding inventory units. Output is measured against human-standard benchmarks for specific duties. This methodology aims to provide a reliable reference for evaluating the long-term economic value of physical AI deployments across diverse sectors.

## Hardware and Software Integration

Alongside Worken, AGIBOT launched the AHA3 humanoid architecture and Link-U OS 1.0. AHA3 integrates locomotion, interaction, and task execution into a single platform featuring liquid-cooled joints and IP67-rated protection. Link-U OS 1.0 serves as a purpose-built operating system, providing a unified kernel to bridge robot hardware with high-level intelligent applications.

## Advancing Embodied AI Models

The company debuted the GO-3 Preview foundation model, utilizing the World Reasoning Action Model for complex task execution. It demonstrated superior performance on benchmarks like RoboDojo and RoboTwin. Additionally, the WITA-Omni interaction model enables full-duplex communication, combining visual perception, speech, and physical actions into a single, continuous, and on-device interaction system.

## Industrial Deployment Capabilities

The G2 Max industrial robot supports heavy-duty manufacturing with 21 degrees of freedom and a 40-kilogram dual-arm capacity. Deployed in semiconductor packaging and tablet production at Longcheer, these units are assessed on cycle time and task completion. These real-world deployments provide the operational data necessary to refine the Worken measurement framework.

## Ecosystem and Open Source

AGIBOT has donated the Link-U OS project to the OpenAtom Foundation, securing Platinum Level Sponsorship. The initiative aims to build an open-source community for humanoid robots, promoting unified technical interfaces. With an ecosystem spanning 255 universities and 511 enterprises, the company plans to make the operating system fully open source by late 2026.

## Scaling Through Spatial Intelligence

Updates to the AGILE motion framework introduce self-evolving agent capabilities, transitioning from basic motion control to spatial mobility intelligence. This allows robots to adapt to changing site layouts dynamically. Such advancements are critical for scalability, as they enable robots to maintain operational efficiency without constant manual reprogramming in unpredictable, complex human environments.

## Economic Impact of Robotics

AGIBOT positions Worken as a tool to evaluate the economics of robotics beyond initial hardware depreciation. By weighing output against total lifecycle costs, businesses can better assess the value of software and AI model improvements. This framework provides a standardized way to measure the return on investment for physical AI deployments.
