The presentation of the Walker S2 represents a major step forward in the operational autonomy of humanoid robots. Thanks to the ability to autonomously replace its own battery, the robot can guarantee continuous operation, overcoming one of the most significant limitations in the use of robots in industrial and service environments: the need for frequent manual interventions for recharging. This innovation opens up new perspectives for the automation of complex processes that require constant operation.
The humanoid robot training center opened in Shanghai will play a strategic role in the development of artificial intelligence applied to robotics.
By training robots from various industrial contexts and collecting their performance data, UBTech will be able to iteratively improve the control algorithms and cognitive capabilities of its machines, increasing their efficiency and adaptability to increasingly complex real-world scenarios.
With a history dating back to 2012 and a portfolio of solutions ranging from entertainment to industry, UBTech once again demonstrates its focus on innovation to consolidate its leadership in the sector. The start of production of the Walker S1 in October 2024 and the recent announcement of the Walker S2 confirm the company’s strategy: integrating advanced hardware and artificial intelligence to create increasingly autonomous and versatile robots.
In In conclusion, UBTech is positioned as one of the most dynamic players in the global humanoid robotics market, helping to define the future of human-machine interaction. The ability to operate 24/7 without human intervention marks a significant breakthrough for the entire industry.
Founded in March 2012, UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP LTD is now one of the world’s leading companies in the field of humanoid robots and intelligent service robots. Since December 29, 2023, the company has been officially listed on the Main List of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (stock code: 9880.HK).
Driven by the mission of “bringing intelligent robots to every family and making daily life more convenient and intelligent,” UBTECH has independently developed a full range of humanoid robotics technologies. With its full-stack capabilities, the company focuses on research and development, design, intelligent manufacturing, and marketing of service robots, offering an integrated solution that combines hardware, software, services, and content. Applications range from AI-based education to logistics, senior care, and business services.
UBTECH is among the few companies in the world to have created a full-stack technology platform that integrates advanced motion planning and control systems, proprietary servoactuators, computer vision technologies, voice interaction, SLAM (Localization and Mapping Simultaneous Actuation), Vision-Based Servo Actuation, Human-Robot Interaction, and its own Robot Operating System Application Framework (ROSA). The company is also distinguished by the mass production of variable-torque servo actuators, a technological breakthrough that enabled the development of the Walker, the first full-scale biped humanoid robot commercialized in China.
As of June 2024, UBTECH held over 2,450 patents in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence, approximately 60% of which are invention patents and over 450 are international patents. Thanks to these achievements, the company has positioned itself as a global leader in the implementation of humanoid robots in three main scenarios: industrial manufacturing, commercial services, and home care. Furthermore, UBTECH is currently the only humanoid robot company to have initiated numerous collaborations with international automotive manufacturers, incorporating the Walker S industrial robot into its production lines to perform diversified tasks.
Looking to the future, UBTECH firmly believes in the harmonious coexistence of humans and robots. Through a constant commitment to technological innovation, the company aims to bring its robots into every home and every industry, contributing to the construction of a society where humans and robots collaborate to improve the quality of life.
