At its Innovation Day event held on October 29 at the Shanghai Expo Center, Agibot unveiled Worken, a new metric designed to measure robot productivity, according to KrASIA. This initiative aims to quantify the efficiency and capabilities of robots in various tasks.
Over the past three years, robots have advanced significantly, learning to run, jump, and even perform backflips, showcasing rapid progress in robotic physical abilities. Additionally, artificial intelligence models such as GPT-6 Astra have demonstrated sophisticated planning skills for physical tasks, highlighting the growing integration of AI in robotics.
For Japanese markets, where automation and robotics play an increasingly critical role in manufacturing and logistics, the introduction of a standardized productivity measure like Worken could influence investment and development strategies across FX, crypto, and equities sectors.
