UBTech Media Relations

November 20, 2025 (Shenzhen, China) – Chinese robotics company Ubtech Robotics has announced plans to increase its humanoid robot production by tenfold in 2026, reflecting the growing demand for advanced automation solutions both domestically and internationally.

The company, known for its humanoid robots used in education, research, and industrial applications, intends to significantly expand its manufacturing capacity and accelerate the commercialization of its latest humanoid models. The ramp-up aims to meet the surging interest in robotics for sectors including smart factories, healthcare, and service industries.

“Our goal is to make humanoid robots more accessible and practical for a variety of industries,” said Huazhi Wu, CEO of Ubtech. “By scaling our production, we can deliver advanced robotics solutions faster and support the broader adoption of intelligent automation worldwide.”

Key Highlights of Ubtech’s Plan

  • 10x production increase: Ubtech will multiply its humanoid robot output in 2026 compared to 2025 levels.
  • Focus on commercial adoption: The initiative targets industrial, educational, and service-oriented sectors.
  • Global market expansion: The production boost is expected to support exports and partnerships beyond China.
  • Innovation and R&D: Continued investment in research and development aims to enhance the robots’ autonomy, flexibility, and safety for real-world applications.

Strategic Implications

Analysts suggest that Ubtech’s aggressive expansion could reshape the global humanoid robotics market by increasing competition and accelerating adoption rates. Greater availability of humanoid robots can help address labour shortages, improve operational efficiency, and introduce flexible automation in diverse industries.

For Ubtech, the production scale-up strengthens its market position and demonstrates China’s growing leadership in humanoid robotics. However, challenges such as supply chain management, quality control, and integration with human-centered workflows will be critical for the successful rollout of this ambitious plan.
