UBTECH Robotics is one of the world's most established commercial robotics companies, founded in 2012 in Shenzhen and now publicly traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (9880). The company started with consumer educational robots and has evolved into an industrial humanoid powerhouse, now deploying robots in some of the world's most demanding manufacturing environments.
UBTECH's Walker S2, launched in November 2025, marks the company's arrival as a serious industrial humanoid competitor. With 52 degrees of freedom, dual hot-swappable batteries for 24/7 operation, and a 15kg per-arm payload, Walker S2 is engineered for automotive assembly, aerospace manufacturing, and high-volume logistics — use cases that require reliability and precision above all else.
The Walker S2 has attracted extraordinary commercial interest: over 800 million yuan in confirmed orders as of its launch, with customers including major automakers and Airbus for aircraft manufacturing. A March 2026 partnership with Siemens targets a combined production capacity of 10,000 units annually, positioning UBTECH as one of the highest-volume humanoid robot manufacturers globally.
