Ant Group's LingBot 2: Cross-Embodiment Model Driven by 20,000 Hours of Data
heyshrutimishra · x · 2026-07-06
During a visit to Ant Group in Hangzhou, the author learned that LingBot 2 is powered by a software model trained on 20,000 hours of real-world operational data. It can be universally deployed across single-arm, dual-arm, and humanoid robots without needing to be retrained for each specific embodiment.
The hardware is set to be revealed the next day, though the author argues that hardware is actually 'the easy part.' The true core lies in this cross-embodiment operational model.
