Munich’s Agile Robots brought their first humanoid to Hannover Messe. Agile ONE: 174 cm, 69 kg, 2 m/s walking speed, 20 kg payload, 71 total DOF — 21 in each hand. That last number is the headline. Most industrial humanoids ship with grippers. Agile put five-fingered modular hands with force-torque feedback in every joint on both arms.
Why this one is trending
Hall 27 Booth J72, April 20-24. Crowds thick enough that Euronews ran a piece on Germany betting its labour shortage on home-grown humanoids. Agile ONE is the German answer to 1X, Figure, and Optimus — except series production starts in Bavaria early 2026. Not Shenzhen, not Texas. The Robotic Foundation Models behind it were trained on real industrial data plus sim and teleop, not generic web video. Narrower than a home humanoid, more credible on a factory floor.
Calling it from your agent
For the AI crowd: Agile ONE ships ROS-compatible interfaces and the Agile Software Suite, a cloud orchestration layer exposing motion, grasping, and perception APIs. An external LLM agent can wrap it via a ROS bridge or an MCP server and do long-horizon planning — “go to Station 3, pick the M8 bolt, load the CNC, return.” Existing integrations already cover pick-and-place and machine-tending pipelines tied into MES. No fixed price; Agile sells full automation packages, not units.
