According to media reports, the full-size hyper-bionic robot exhibit was a huge hit at the "Light of the Internet" Expo in Wuzhen, becoming one of the most popular photo spots.
With delicate bionic textures, lively and natural micro-expressions, smooth conversational interactions, and movements such as raising hands, blinking, and turning heads, every action closely resembles a real person, shattering many people's preconceived notions of robots as cold and mechanical.
Many visitors stopped to watch and take photos, with some netizens commenting, "I really want to take it home." This robot, created by UBTECH, is priced at 169,800 yuan.
It is understood that UBTECH's consumer-grade humanoid robot brand is named UWORLD, dedicated to creating hyper-bionic humanoid robots capable of establishing deep emotional connections with humans.
According to Tianyancha, Shenzhen UBTECH Technology Co., Ltd. was registered and established in 2012. The company focuses on full-stack technology research and development and commercial applications for humanoid robots. It listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2023 and is known as the "first stock of humanoid robots." UBTECH has accumulated years of experience in the humanoid robot sector, from R&D to commercial deployment.
Industry experts believe that bionic robots have broad prospects and are moving from laboratories to large-scale deployment in specialized scenarios. There is clear demand in fields such as medical rehabilitation, industrial inspection, home services, and special operations. Combining bionic structures with AI large models and lightweight materials can enhance adaptability to complex environments and improve safety in human-robot collaboration.
In the short term, the focus remains on deploying specialized robots. In the medium term, as costs decrease, penetration into the consumer market is expected. In the long term, development may shift towards generalization and emotional interaction.
