UBTech, a robot technology company based in Shenzhen (China), has just shipped a batch of hundreds of humanoid robots to its customers, which are automobile manufacturers, large-scale transportation companies... These are companies that order UBTech to put humanoid robot models into production lines, operating in factories and warehouses.
The type of robot provided by UBTech to customers is Walker S2, a humanoid robot designed for automation tasks and can operate continuously 24/7 thanks to the ability to change batteries without charging.

Walker S2 is equipped with 2 independent battery modules, each module can be replaced separately. When detecting a battery module is nearly exhausted, Walker S2 will automatically remove the battery to replace it with a new one to ensure uninterrupted operation.
The battery replacement process on the Walker S2 takes about 3 minutes, is fully automatic and requires no human assistance.
Walker S2 is 1.76m tall, weighs 43kg, and has dozens of joints integrated into its body to move smoothly like a real person. The robot is equipped with a 5-finger hand with flexible joints to help grasp objects easily. The robot can carry objects weighing up to 15kg and handle objects with high precision.
On the head of the Walker S2 robot is equipped with a camera, LiDAR sensors to record the environment, measure the depth of the surrounding space to move and avoid obstacles.
UBTech said it has received orders worth more than 800 million yuan ($112 million) for Walker S2 models this year. The company expects to deliver 500 humanoid robots by 2025 and reach production capacity of 1,000 humanoid robots next year.
In the first half of 2025 alone, UBTech achieved revenue of 621 million yuan, an increase of 25.7% year-on-year, and profit of 217 million yuan, an increase of 17.3%.
UBTech's newly released humanoid robot army
UBTech also aims to develop and upgrade its humanoid robots to be able to perform complex, dexterous tasks, rather than just using them for heavy lifting and conventional lifting.
China is considered by experts to be leading the world in the development of humanoid robots. The government is also investing heavily in the field of humanoid robots with preferential policies for start-up companies.
Last week, Chinese electric car maker Xpeng unveiled its Iron humanoid robot, which features a feminine design and smooth, lifelike movements. Xpeng even had to “undress” the robot to prove that Iron is not a human impersonating inside.
