Walker S

China's Ubtech Robotics plans a major production increase, aiming to build 1,000 humanoid robots in 2025 (up from just 10 in 2024), split between industrial and other uses. This follows a 24% annual revenue increase to $180M, though the company remains unprofitable and humanoids are not yet a major revenue driver. The focus is on real-world deployment, particularly in manufacturing.

Chinese robotics firm UBTech has deployed its Walker S humanoid robots at the Audi FAW New Energy Vehicle plant in Changchun. The robots are performing tasks like logistics, assembly assistance, and quality inspection alongside human workers on the production line, marking a significant step for humanoid integration in China's automotive manufacturing sector.
