From red carpet moments to a GRAZIA Cannes Special Edition cover shoot, X2 demonstrated how advanced robotics can navigate cultural environments with intelligence and social skills.
The showcase followed AGIBOT’s 2026 Met Gala performance with Alexander Wang at The Mark Hotel in New York, combining physical AI with contemporary culture. Guided by AGIBOT’s ‘One Body, Three Intelligences’ architecture, X2 demonstrated interaction and locomotion far beyond traditional robotics displays.
The activation opened on May 17 during the Chinese Culture and Arts Night under ‘When Technology Meets Craftsmanship’, highlighting Chinese heritage. On May 18, X2 mingled with industry leaders, athletes and fashion icons at the Fashion Connect Asian Film Fashion Night Cocktail.
There, X2 stood alongside Duckens Nazon, captain of the Haitian national soccer team, marking AGIBOT’s expansion into sports analytics. This crossover continues in Atlanta, a host city of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a focus on sports training and stadium navigation.
X2 also shared the stage with Forbes-backed influencer Hofit Golan and Kate Alexeeva, defending champion of Miss Universe Latvia and host of the gala.
On May 19, Pierre Asseo, CEO of AGIBOT’s local partner Xmotion, delivered a keynote on the use of physical AI at techCannes, where X2 demonstrated vocal mimicry and Tai Chi for legal and technical experts.
On May 21, X2 joined actress Aline Ressplandes for an authorized GRAZIA Cannes Special Edition cover shoot. X2 acted as Aline’s personal ‘life assistant’, seamlessly bringing physical AI into an editorial setting.
With more than 10,000 units deployed worldwide from March 2026, AGIBOT’s Cannes showcase reinforces its market leadership and reflects a trajectory in which embodied AI is increasingly integrated into creative and everyday experiences. Guided by its mission to “create unlimited productivity through intelligent machines,” AGIBOT will explore interdisciplinary applications in various scenarios, bringing embodied AI closer to life.
