The framework calculates **Effective Intelligent Work Hours** by multiplying active robots, autonomous working hours, and an output efficiency ratio compared to human benchmarks. Peng Zhihui, AGIBOT’s co-founder and CTO, framed it as a response to the industry’s need to shift focus from robot production to measuring autonomous, task-specific productivity in factories, warehouses, and service settings.\n\nWorken aims to help businesses evaluate the long-term value of robot deployments by weighing output against lifecycle costs. AGIBOT also released its **AHA3 hardware platform**, **GO-3 Preview embodied model** (ranked first on RoboDojo and RoboTwin), **WITA-Omni interaction model**, the **G2 Max industrial robot** (with a 40 kg dual-arm capacity), and **Link-U OS 1.0**, an operating system for embodied intelligence. The company announced plans to open-source Link-U OS by year-end and collaborate with the **OpenAtom Foundation** to standardize humanoid robotics. Deployments in manufacturing (e.g., Longcheer’s tablet production) and services (e.g., Guangzhou Metro) were highlighted as case studies for Worken’s application.","keyPoints":["Worken framework multiplies active robots, autonomous hours, and task-specific output efficiency to measure real-world productivity","AGIBOT’s GO-3 Preview model ranked first on RoboDojo, RoboTwin, and RoboColiseum benchmarks","Link-U OS 1.0 is now trialed by partners, with full open-source release planned by year-end 2026"],"whyItMatters":"Worken could standardize how businesses assess robot ROI beyond hardware costs, while AGIBOT’s models and OS push embodied AI closer to real-world deployment. The framework may influence industry benchmarks for autonomous robot performance.","category":{"slug":"robotics","name":"Robotics & Physical AI","url":"https://digestai.news/category/robotics"},"entities":{"companies":["AGIBOT","OpenAtom Foundation","China Economic Information Service","Shanghai Industrial Innovation Center","Longcheer","Guangzhou Metro"],"models":["GO-3 Preview","WITA-Omni","AGILE","WRAM (World Reasoning Action Model)","Link-U OS 1.0"],"people":["Peng Zhihui","Dr. Yao Maoqing","Xiong Yan","Chuang Wang"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-29T10:05:02Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-29T10:05:02Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"AGIBOT Unveils Worken Framework to Quantify Robots’ Useful Output","url":"https://unite.ai/agibot-unveils-worken-framework-to-quantify-robots-useful-output","publishedAt":"2026-10-29T10:05:02Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":{"title":"AgiBot Humanoid Robotics Productivity Push","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/agibot-demonstrates-110-robot-synchronized-routine-showing-fleet-scheduling","storyCount":2},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Agibot introduces Worken framework to measure robot productivity in real-world tasks\", 29 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/agibot-introduces-worken-framework-to-measure-robot-productivity-in-re","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Agibot introduces Worken framework to measure robot productivity in real-world tasks","datePublished":"2026-10-29T10:05:02Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/agibot-introduces-worken-framework-to-measure-robot-productivity-in-re"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
