Alibaba's Amap unit plans to unveil a quadruped robot, marking the tech giant's entry into a crowded market.

Agibot has open-sourced its embodied AI dataset, Agibot World 2026, aiming to break industry bottlenecks with high-quality, real-world data.

Agibot will hold its AI release week from April 7 to 14, planning to unveil a core physical AI breakthrough every workday.

UBTech offers up to 124 million yuan ($18 million) to hire an embodied AI chief scientist.

Agibot and the Chinese University of Hong Kong are jointly establishing an industry-academia-research platform.

The automated production line in Guangdong is China's first humanoid robot facility with an annual capacity of over 10,000 units.

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.
