AGIBOT is deploying six G2 robots in a convenience store for a demonstration streamed live for 24 hours, from 2 to 3 November 2026. Customer service, shelf restocking and waste handling are on the programme.
Called “Robots Never Clock Out”, the event places the G2 robots in a retail setting with real customers. AGIBOT presents them as trainee employees facing the different periods of activity in a convenience store. The stream starts on 2 November at 3 a.m. French time and ends on 3 November at 3 a.m. The manufacturer is broadcasting the demonstration on YouTube and promoting the event on X.
What tasks the six AGIBOT G2 robots perform in the convenience store
According to the programme announced by AGIBOT, the robots take part in several routine activities of a local shop. Their tasks include interacting with customers, restocking shelves, arranging goods and dealing with waste.
The manufacturer splits the demonstration into four periods matching different levels of activity:
- Lunchtime service: the robots work in the store during a busy period.
- Evening rush: the machines must keep working while customers move around them.
- Night shift: the robots handle the tasks scheduled for the overnight hours.
- Breakfast preparation: the G2 units take part in store activities as the morning trade resumes.
Footage from the stream shows several wheeled robots spread across a convenience store with stocked shelves. People are also present near the machines.
Navigation, object handling and customer interaction in a live store
The demonstration brings several robotic activities together in a single space. The G2 robots have to move between shelving units and service counters, reach products, handle objects and respond to requests in an environment shared with people.
The length of the stream makes it possible to see how the robots respond to changes in store activity. A customer may block an aisle, a product may be hard to grasp, or a new request may interrupt a task in progress.
These situations make it possible to follow any pauses, retries and resumed tasks, not just the successful manipulations. The public demonstration therefore offers an extended look at how the machines behave in a retail environment.
Does the 24-hour demo mean each G2 robot runs nonstop?
The 24 hours announced by AGIBOT refer to the length of the event, not to a demonstrated operating autonomy for each of the six G2 robots. This duration does not mean that each machine works without recharging, maintenance or human intervention for the entire stream.
Several indicators will be key to assessing the robots’ performance: the number of requests actually handled, the time needed to complete each task, how often staff have to step in, and the machines’ ability to resume a task after a problem.
A new demonstration following the AGIBOT AI Day announcements
The event follows the presentations made at AGIBOT AI Day, including new models, the G2 Max robot and the “Worken” concept, which AGIBOT proposes as a way to measure the productive work of robots.
The manufacturer describes the convenience store experiment as a practical trial combining several of its technologies in a shared environment. Unlike a simple pre-recorded promotional clip, the extended stream allows viewers to follow the machines through different phases of the store’s activity.
The event is a demonstration of robots in a working situation, not an announcement that the G2 is going on sale. The footage shows the operations carried out, any interruptions and the human interventions during service.
