The company just rolled out Qingtian Rent, a rental platform that lets you hire robots for weddings, concerts, trade shows, and business meetings. AgiBot’s advanced Yuanzheng A2 model rents for $1,380 per day, while budget options like the Unitree Go2 robot dog start at $138 daily. The move could potentially reshape the global robotics market: China's rental sector hit $140M in 2025 and is projected to explode to $1.4B next year.
