Overview

• Walker S2 detects low battery levels, navigates to an on-site swap station and installs a fully charged module autonomously in less than three minutes.
• Its dual-battery architecture lets one pack charge while the other powers operations, reducing downtime to the brief walking-to-swap time.
• Vision-guided sensors in the robot’s head and specialized wrist tools enable precise identification and handling of battery units without human intervention.
• UBTech showcased the capability in a public demonstration video but has yet to confirm large-scale production timelines or commercial pricing.
• Development follows UBTech’s May partnership with Huawei; trials with automakers Nio and BYD are underway as China expands support for advanced robotics.
