I like this gradual, step-by-step process.
Last year, UBTECH’s Liuzhou factory rolled out its 1,000th humanoid robot.
It has since moved from a 1,000-unit production line toward a 10,000-unit capacity,now.
There’s no grand promise of mass production here. Just a practical, steady push.
It’s a manufacturing strategy responding to real market demand(For example, orders for UBTECH's bionic humanoid robot U1 have already over 13k units), while also building the intelligent, automated production system needed for much larger-scale manufacturing down the road.
Humanoids are ultimately a manufacturing challenge:--expanding physical AI into the real world means figuring out how to build them at scale.
