Humanoid Agile ONE embodies Physical AI at Hannover Messe 2026
/ 3 min readHanover, 20 April 2026 – Agile Robots, a leading provider of AI-driven robotic solutions, is at the center of the defining technology of the next industrial revolution: Physical AI. At Hannover Messe 2026 – Europe's most important industrial trade show – the Munich-based pioneer is demonstrating what the intelligent integration of artificial intelligence and robotics already delivers today: smarter factories, more flexible production, and a new level of industrial efficiency. The company’s humanoid robot Agile ONE demonstrates smart manufacturing excellence ‘made in Germany’ at the company’s booth.
Agile ONE greeted German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche today at the Agile Robots booth, demonstrating to them the strategic economic significance of Physical AI for industrial competitiveness worldwide. Both received a live demonstration of the company's advanced solutions and were gifted with a personalized miniature robotic arm, assembled by Agile ONE.
"Physical AI is the catalyst that is redefining global industry – and our daily business already today. It makes factories smarter, production more flexible, and entire industries more competitive. At Agile Robots, we have been delivering exactly that for years – at scale, across continents, for the world's most demanding manufacturers”, said Zhaopeng Chen, CEO and founder of Agile Robots.
Agile Robots' portfolio combines high-performance robotic arms, a world-leading robotic hand, and a full range of mobile robotics – seamlessly connected through AgileCore, the company's AI software platform. Agile ONE is a key part of this ecosystem: the humanoid is designed specifically for the factory floor, works safely and efficiently alongside other robotic systems and human colleagues, continuously learns and adapts in real time – not as a standalone solution, but as part of a fully integrated, intelligent production system. Visitors will also be able to experience Agile ONE S – a smaller humanoid robot designed primarily for research and development.
With more than 20,000 automation solutions deployed across automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, and logistics, Agile Robots is a frontrunner in delivering Physical AI to the shopfloor of leading industries worldwide. The company combines world-class technologies with deep industrial know-how – backed by more than 1,500 R&D specialists translating research into scalable industrial solutions every day. Strategic partnerships with Google DeepMind and Deutsche Telekom's Industrial AI Cloud – Europe's first cloud infrastructure built specifically for industrial AI – enable the company to accelerate the development of its smart robots and continuously advance the intelligence of its systems through real production data at unprecedented scale.
Visitors to Hannover Messe are warmly invited to Agile Robots’ booth (J72, Hall 27), where the company showcases its comprehensive AI-driven ecosystem, featuring:
- Regular demonstrations of Agile ONE and Agile ONE S
- Agile ONE assembly station
