UBTECH Begins Mass Production, Ships First Batch of Walker S2 Humanoids

Backed by more than 800 million yuan in orders, the company aims to scale production to thousands of units.

Overview

  • UBTECH says it has started mass production and delivered a first batch of several hundred Walker S2 industrial humanoids integrated with its Co-Agent platform.
  • The company targets 500 units delivered by year-end 2025 and plans annual capacity of 5,000 in 2026 and 10,000 in 2027.
  • UBTECH reports the Walker series has secured orders exceeding 800 million yuan since early 2025, including contracts worth 250 million yuan and 159 million yuan.
