UBTECH ↗

UBTECH is China's veteran robotics giant (publicly listed since 2023) and the Walker S2 is its flagship industrial humanoid, with a trick nobody else has: it hot-swaps its own battery without powering off, allowing true 24/7 work.

It's being deployed in Chinese car and electronics factories under some of the largest humanoid orders signed to date. Not for individuals: $68,000–$120,000 and enterprise sales only. It's here because in China's industrial race, it's the name to beat.
