November 20, 2025 – Chinese robotics leader UBTech Robotics has officially begun mass production and delivery of its industrial humanoid robot Walker S2, marking a significant milestone in the commercial deployment of full‑size humanoid robots.

According to the company, several hundred units of the Walker S2 have already started shipping to customers, moving UBTech toward its goal of delivering 500 units by the end of 2025. This rollout represents one of the first large‑scale deployments of humanoid robots in real industrial environments — a shift from prototype demonstrations to operational use.

The Walker S2 models are being adopted across a range of sectors, including automotive manufacturing, smart factories, logistics hubs, and data collection centers, where they are expected to support tasks that benefit from human‑like motion and flexibility.

What Makes Walker S2 Stand Out

The Walker S2 integrates UBTech’s proprietary Co‑Agent intelligent agent system, which enables advanced capabilities such as autonomous task planning, intention recognition, tool interaction, and anomaly detection — key features for reliable industrial performance.

UBTech has also developed its BrainNet platform, a technology backbone designed to streamline deployment across varied industrial scenarios and support rapid scenario configuration and integration into existing systems.

Market Demand and Production Expansion

UBTech reports that the Walker series orders have exceeded 800 million yuan (approx. US$112 million) in 2025, reflecting strong market demand for humanoid robots in manufacturing and logistics settings. The company plans to expand annual production capacity to 5,000 units by 2026, and further to 10,000 units by 2027, as it scales its industrial humanoid ecosystem.

The shift toward large‑volume production and delivery signals a broader trend in which humanoid robots are moving from experimental test beds into real‑world industrial operations, tackling repetitive, labor‑intensive, or ergonomically challenging tasks alongside human workers.
