Autonomy Ladder

Why Level II.

One five-rung scale, every category, from acting only on command to working unsupervised anywhere.

VGeneralized AutonomyAny task, any setting. No consumer robot has reached it.
IVEnvironmental AutonomyCopes with everyday clutter and frees itself, shown by independent testing.
IIIConditional AutonomyFinishes whole jobs in familiar spaces; struggles at the edges.
To reach Level IIIMost sessions finish without intervention. Rescue is occasional, not routine.
IIAssisted AutonomyThis robot

CASBOT 02 runs preset routines on its own, and the owner is its recovery system.
Why this level
- CASBOT's own materials describe scripted exhibition and education demonstrations, grasping, placing, plugging and unplugging performed on cue rather than an end-to-end job completed unattended.
- CTO Ma Shikui has told 36Kr that current humanoids, including CASBOT's own line, remain short of full autonomy, keeping CASBOT 02 at Level II, Assisted Autonomy.

Human Readiness

Not consumer-ready.

One question: what does buying this robot today walk you into? The state is computed from the record, and recomputed daily.

Not consumer-readyThis robot

CASBOT 02 ships to commercial and research buyers, not to households.

The readiness scale measures household purchase timing, so no tier applies. A consumer version reaching general availability would start the clock.

On the record

The scale, for reference

Ready NowAssessed, with a clean record on file. A successor may be shipping; the page says so when it is.
New to MarketOn sale under 90 days; the ownership record is still forming.
WaitA successor is announced and has not shipped; re-read the decision when it arrives.
Known IssuesDocumented problems stand on the record; read the case before buying.

Pre-Consumer Assessment

How this projection was reached

60of 100

PlausibleAt or above 37% of the 101 robots we assess before release

SpeculativeConceptPlausiblePromisingReady

The hatched tail is unreachable by construction. A projection does not publish as a full mark, because the evidence that settles it does not exist yet: whether the thing ships and works in ordinary use. Those 10 points are what shipping has to earn.

The reading

Provisional classification: a second-generation biped narrowed to exhibition and education use, cutting the engineering risk of CASBOT 01's factory-pilot ambitions. Lingbao CASBOT's own leadership has said grasping, placing and plugging remain the only sale-ready skills industry-wide; broader autonomy claims stay unproven outside staged demonstrations.

Still open

Whether CASBOT 02 will ever gain a consumer or SMB purchase path beyond institutional sales
How reliably grasping, placing, plugging and unplugging perform outside staged exhibition demonstrations
Whether independent reviewers have evaluated CASBOT 02 separately from CASBOT 01
What CASBOT 02 costs institutional buyers and how that price is structured
How joint and actuator wear holds up across repeated daily exhibition cycles
Whether any safety certification exists for operating CASBOT 02 near the public

Track Record35% of the assessment55

What this asks

Has this maker shipped what it demoed before, on schedule, with the promised capability?

What it rests on

Lingbao CASBOT's only prior shipped platform, CASBOT 01, reached a single documented pilot deployment (a Lenovo factory) after its Nov 2024 unveiling; one shipped generation with limited field exposure and no recall history to weigh.

Engineering35% of the assessment62

What this asks

Are the demonstrated capabilities achievable in shipping form, or do they need breakthroughs not in evidence?

What it rests on

CASBOT 02 keeps CASBOT 01's bipedal architecture at a smaller 163 cm scale aimed at exhibition and education rather than general chores, a narrower task envelope than its predecessor's factory-pilot ambitions; CTO Ma Shikui has told 36Kr that grasping, placing, plugging and unplugging remain the only sale-ready skills industry-wide.

Demo Match30% of the assessment62

What this asks

What has been shown to work, against what is claimed in marketing.

What it rests on

CASBOT's own product materials frame CASBOT 02 around exhibition and education demonstrations rather than open-ended autonomy, and the company's CTO has publicly bounded what current humanoids, including its own, can reliably do; claims stay narrow relative to what has been shown.

Not a Robovations Scorethe two never convert into each other

This is a projection from pre-shipping signals, not a measurement. When the robot ships, the assessment is archived, a first Robovations Score is computed from the field record, and the change is logged on the tracker rather than appearing as a new number.

Common questions

What people actually ask.

5 answered

OperationCan a school or museum actually buy a CASBOT 02?

CASBOT 02 sells through Lingbao CASBOT’s institutional channel for exhibitions and education, not a public storefront; no consumer price has been published.

OperationIs CASBOT 02 the same robot as the factory-pilot CASBOT 01?

No. CASBOT 02 is the second-generation biped in CASBOT’s own succession timeline, a smaller 163 cm machine built for exhibition and education rather than CASBOT 01’s Lenovo factory pilot.

OperationDoes CASBOT 02 operate without a human present?

Not documented. Lingbao CASBOT’s CTO has told a trade publication that current humanoids, including CASBOT’s own line, remain short of full autonomy, with only grasping, placing, plugging and unplugging confirmed as sale-ready.

OperationWhat tasks has CASBOT 02 actually been shown doing?

Public appearances center on exhibition and classroom demonstrations rather than open-ended chores.

OperationWhen did CASBOT 02 launch?

June 2025, per CASBOT’s own product timeline; an exact release day has not been published.
