Chinese humanoid robotics company AgiBot has started offering its robots for rental in Saudi Arabia, with prices beginning at SAR 2,000 per day.
The company said the starting rate is a minimum and varies according to the robot model, equipment and task. The service is also available in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Turkey.
AgiBot announced the expansion during LEAP 2026 in Riyadh, where it presented humanoid robots for reception, visitor guidance and multilingual assistance, alongside industrial, cleaning and security robots. The company is targeting sectors including manufacturing, logistics, energy, inspection, security, education, hospitality and entertainment.
The rental model allows organisations to test and use robotic systems without buying them or committing to a long-term investment. AgiBot has not disclosed how rental costs compare with purchasing robots or hiring human workers in Saudi Arabia.
Founded in 2023, AgiBot shipped 5,168 humanoid robots in 2025, representing about 39% of global shipments, according to data from Omdia cited in the announcement. The company said Saudi Arabia could become a regional hub for advanced robotics and embodied artificial intelligence.
