    UBTech's Liuzhou 10,000-unit industrial humanoid robot smart factory goes into operation

    On September 12, UBTech's Liuzhou factory went into operation. The company officially calls it the world's first 10,000-unit-class industrial humanoid robot super smart factory, covering 14,000 square meters, rolling one unit off the line every 10 minutes, with annual capacity exceeding 10,000 units. At the factory, CruzrY1 and S2 handle depalletizing, palletizing, and material feeding, with digital twin technology in cooperation with Siemens; a single robot tightens more than 2,000 screws across more than 50 specifications, and complete-machine quality inspection takes over 4 hours.

    Why it matters: Beyond the production start news, it adds analysis of capacity and orders and of the gap between training and real production lines, so readers can assess the practical constraints on scaling humanoid robot deployment.

    UBTECH and Hitachi (China) Reach Strategic Partnership; Walker S2 Enters Hitachi Elevator Workshop for Field Testing

    UBTECH and Hitachi (China) have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to explore humanoid robot applications in intelligent manufacturing, and the collaboration has entered a substantive validation phase. Hitachi has introduced UBTECH's industrial-grade humanoid robot Walker S2 into some manufacturing environments for on-site testing, and Hitachi China Research Institute, Hitachi Elevator, and UBTECH are conducting secondary development for this scenario in an elevator manufacturing workshop. The two sides will also carry out in-depth cooperation in fields including elevators, building systems, healthcare, industrial equipment, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and will jointly research the practical application and mass production of humanoid robots.

    Why it matters: The collaboration has entered the real-machine validation phase, with Walker S2 already being tested in a Hitachi Elevator workshop, giving readers a way to understand the progress of humanoid robots being deployed in manufacturing.
