AGIBOT's Lingxi X2 Becomes World's First Humanoid Robot to Perform Webster Flip

A newly released video from AGIBOT has captured wide attention across the tech community. The company’s humanoid robot, Lingxi X2, has successfully performed the Webster flip — a notoriously difficult gymnastics move — making it the world’s first humanoid robot to achieve this feat. The milestone highlights major progress in humanoid robotics, particularly in dynamic balance and complex motion control. The Webster flip, originating from gymnastics, involves continuous rotations and flips in midair, demanding exceptional core strength, spatial awareness, and limb coordination. Until now, it was a skill reserved for elite athletes. Lingxi X2 replicated the move with precision, powered by AGIBOT’s proprietary motion control algorithms and high-precision sensor systems. In the video, AGIBOT added a humorous caption: “You may not know me, but you must have heard that real men can do the Webster flip” — a nod to an internet meme emphasizing the challenge of the maneuver. Lingxi X2 is the flagship product of AGIBOT, the embodied intelligence company founded by Peng Zhihui (Zhihui Jun). Introduced earlier this year, the robot features a modular design, multi-joint force control, and a real-time perception system that enables it to navigate complex environments and perform dynamic tasks. AGIBOT launched a partner recruitment program in May 2025, and plans to begin large-scale production in the second half of the year. Shipments are projected to reach several thousand units by the end of 2026.
