UBTECH Robotics

🇨🇳 China · Shenzhen | Commercial | Founded 2012 | HKEX Listed

Pioneer AI humanoid company with Walker S2 robots deployed on BMW and JD.com production lines across Asia.

The longest-serving AI humanoid company in China — with global enterprise deployments to prove it.

Founded in Shenzhen in 2012 — a decade before most of its current competitors — UBTECH Robotics has had more time than anyone in China to learn what it takes to deploy humanoid robots in real enterprise environments. The company went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, subjecting its technology and business model to institutional scrutiny that few robotics startups have faced. That longevity translates into hard-won operational knowledge: what fails in factories, how to design for maintainability, and how to build the software layer that actually gets used by floor workers.

The Walker S2 represents the culmination of that experience. With 52 DOF, fourth-generation dexterous hands featuring 22 DOF, and UBTECH's BrainNet 2.0 Co-Agent AI system, the S2 operates on BMW's assembly lines — one of the most demanding quality-control environments in global manufacturing. The robot also works on JD.com's logistics facilities, demonstrating cross-sector versatility. Its self-battery-swap capability, running Ubuntu and ROSA 2.0, reduces dependence on human intervention during operations.

Beyond the Walker line, UBTECH has expanded into service and healthcare robotics with the ADIBOT A platform, which brings the Walker architecture into hospital and commercial disinfection scenarios across Asia. The Walker X remains the company's open research platform, enabling academic institutions to build on a validated hardware base. With consistent institutional backing and a growing enterprise customer roster, UBTECH is positioned as China's most enterprise-mature humanoid company.
