Shanghai-based Agibot has produced its 10,000th humanoid robot, reaching the milestone a quarter ahead of schedule.

The production pace has exceeded expectations, coming just a quarter after the company announced its 5,000th robot rolling off the assembly line.

A SenseTime co-founder said the current bottleneck for the humanoid robot industry is low data volume, making it difficult to meet the demands of complex physical world interactions.

Humanoid robots will first fill roles in harsh environments that are difficult to recruit for, tackling labor shortages, according to the CEO of UBTech.

Westlake Robotics unveiled Titan o1 humanoid robot, capable of mimicking complex human movements without prior programming.

Unitree plans to raise up to 4.2 billion yuan ($610 million) to fund AI model research and expand its manufacturing base.

China's embodied AI robot sales rose 13% in the first two months after humanoids took the spotlight at the late-February Spring Festival Gala.

Unitree founder predicts humanoid robots will break Usain Bolt's 100-meter sprint world record by mid-year.

UBTech has signed an agreement with Siemens to help the robot maker achieve its goal of mass-producing more than 10,000 industrial humanoid robots in 2026.

Unitree and the University of Hong Kong established a joint laboratory in Shanghai, aiming to accelerate the large-scale industrial application of embodied AI.
