Is this the robot girlfriend or boyfriend youâve been waiting for?
UBTECH has officially launched UWORLD, its consumer full-size hyper-realistic humanoid robot series.
Pricing starts at RMB 119,800, about $17.6K, for the lighter half-body U1 Lite.
U1 Pro is RMB 169,800, about $25K.
U1 Ultra goes much higher: RMB 990,000, about $146K, for the male version, and RMB 880,000, about $130K, for the female version.
UBTECH says the first-generation bionic robots are built around âemotional value,â mainly for single users and seniors over 60 who need companionship and care.
The goal is more natural human-robot interaction, emotional companionship, and basic life assistance.
They also showed more than 50 full-size hyper-realistic humanoid designs, with different male and female looks, body types, and heights from 1.60 m to 1.85 m.
Thatâs the bigger signal here: humanoid robots are starting to move from one standard body into personalized consumer products.
U1 is already open for pre-order on JD, with more than 13,361 orders so far.
UBTECH says it will push mass production and delivery, aiming to complete those 10,000+ orders this year.
Consumer humanoid robots just entered a real market test.
