About

UBTECH was founded in Shenzhen in 2012 by Zhou Jian and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on December 29, 2023, becoming the first humanoid robotics stock (9880.HK). Its product lines cover industrial (Walker S1/S2), commercial service (Walker C1, Cruzr), research (Tiangong Xingzhe) and education (Alpha, UGOT) scenarios. 2025 revenue was RMB 2.001B, with full-size humanoid revenue of RMB 821M and 1,079 units sold — No. 1 in revenue among humanoid companies globally; the Walker series booked over RMB 1.3-1.4B in orders for the year and entered production-line training at BYD, Geely and others. Its self-developed Thinker foundation model was open-sourced in January 2026 and ranks No. 1 globally on 9 authoritative benchmarks. The 2026 shipment target was raised to 5,000 units, Walker S2 monthly capacity exceeds 300 units, and strategic partnerships were signed with Siemens and Honda Trading.

Technical Approach

Full-stack technology: servo actuators (1 million units produced by 2018), reinforcement-learning gait training, the Thinker embodied intelligence brain, Swarm Brain Network 2.0 (multi-robot collaboration with a Co-Agent dual loop) and a simulation platform. The Thinker model, at under 10B parameters, delivers task planning, spatial intelligence, temporal understanding and visual grounding, and has been open-sourced together with the Thinker Cosmos developer community; product lines cover industry, commerce, education, logistics, eldercare and consumer.
