IT之家 On October 8, UBTECH announced in a post today that it has reached a strategic partnership with FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. The two parties will jointly advance the development and testing of embodied intelligent robot application scenarios in logistics, while building demonstration application scenarios to accelerate the deployment and application of humanoid robots in intelligent manufacturing.
As IT之家 previously reported, UBTECH's Walker S Lite had already entered the national-level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory of FAW-Volkswagen's Qingdao branch for vehicle quality inspection training, achieving seamless integration with the factory's automated control system and being able to execute complex tasks with precision and efficiency. This cooperation is a further expansion into logistics scenarios on the existing foundation.
For the real-world deployment of humanoid robots in industrial manufacturing and other scenarios, UBTECH has built four core technology clusters, including an embodied brain, humanoid cerebellum, high-performance body, and swarm intelligence. In the core field of the embodied brain, UBTECH has established a fully self-developed technology system of "foundation model - world model - action model," enabling robots to possess complete embodied intelligence capabilities of "understanding the world - predicting the world - deciding and acting."
In terms of production capacity, UBTECH's Liuzhou industrial humanoid robot super smart factory officially began production on September 12, 2026, positioned as the world's first humanoid robot intelligent manufacturing benchmark factory adapted to ten-thousand-unit-scale capacity.
According to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government portal website, the factory covers an area of 14,000 square meters and mainly produces Walker S series and Cruzr series embodied intelligent industrial humanoid robots, rolling off 1 robot every 10 minutes, with a planned annual capacity of over 10,000 units, and has implemented the "using robots to build robots" smart manufacturing model.
According to UBTECH's 2025 full-year performance report, the company's total annual revenue reached 2.001 billion yuan, up 53.3% year-on-year, ranking first among global humanoid robot companies. In the full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robot segment (non-remote-controlled, non-toy, height above 160cm, brain chip computing power ≥200T), UBTECH achieved revenue of 820 million yuan, up 2203.7% year-on-year, with sales of 1,079 units, ranking first globally in both revenue and sales. However, it should be noted that in terms of total global humanoid robot shipments, according to an IDC report, global humanoid robot shipments in 2025 were nearly 18,000 units, with Unitree Robotics ranking among the top with shipments exceeding 5,500 units.
