UBTech to boost production

UBTech Robotics plans to expand humanoid robot production tenfold next year to about 5,000 units, and then double it to 10,000 in 2027.

The company expects production costs to drop by 20% to 30% each year, said chief branding officer Michael Tam.

UBTech is set to deliver 500 humanoid robots for industrial use by the end of 2025, up from 10 units delivered last year. The firm recently secured over 800 million yuan (US$112 million) in orders for its Walker S2 robots, with customers including data centers and automakers.
