UBTech Robotics plans to begin mass production of humanoid robots by late 2025. The company will supply industrial robots to major firms like Foxconn and SF Express, focusing on addressing labour shortages in factories while continuing AI advancements.
UBTech Robotics, a Shenzhen-based company, plans to start mass production of humanoid robots by the end of 2025, according to the South China Morning Post. The company recently showcased its robots' advanced capabilities during the televised Chinese New Year celebrations, where they performed a synchronised dance.
In 2024, UBTech will deliver between 500 and 1,000 industrial robots, with over 60% being the upcoming Walker S2 model, designed to be lighter and more durable. Despite financial losses, the company continues to invest in AI and remains competitive in China’s fast-growing robotics market. Clients include major firms such as Foxconn and SF Express.
General manager Michael Tam stated that robots will be supplied to SF Express, automobile manufacturers, and other industrial clients. He emphasised that while the long-term goal is to integrate humanoid robots into households, their primary focus is on addressing labour shortages in factories.
Founded in 2012, UBTech has become a leader in China’s robotics industry. Following its 2023 listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it expanded into service and logistics robotics. In October 2023, it introduced the Walker S1 industrial humanoid, already in use at automotive factories, though further refinements are needed for deployment at Foxconn.
