UBTECH humanoids work on production lines in parcel handling, parts sorting, quality inspection, bolt tightening, part assembly and material handling, with visual inspection accuracy above 99% on automotive lines.

They are deployed with BYD, NIO, Zeekr, Foxconn, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, FAW-Volkswagen Qingdao and SANY, and Airbus bought a Walker S2 in 2026 to explore aircraft manufacturing.

Walker S2 changes its own battery in 3 minutes for round-the-clock work. Cruzr S2 handles 15 kg payloads with sub-millimetre precision, and Cruzr Y1 depalletizes and puts away raw materials in warehouses. Walker S3 is coming soon.
