A Robot’s Shift Becomes the New Spec Sheet

Agibot proposes Worken as a unit of effective robot labour, then answers the obvious question with production-line data.

Agibot proposed Worken, a unit measuring effective robot working time, at its innovation day on 29 October 2026, defining it as deployed robots multiplied by autonomous hours multiplied by output efficiency. The company pointed to a Longcheer 3C line as evidence: more than 64 hours of operation, 64,824 pick-and-place cycles, 17,625 tablets produced and a 22-second average cycle. Counterpoint puts Agibot’s first-half shipments at 9,700 units, more than 43% of the global market. A numeric note: the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology cites 64,828 cycles for the same run.
