UBTech Lands Record 250M Deal for Walker S2 Humanoids
The humanoid robotics race just hit a new milestone. On September 3, UBTech Robotics announced a 250 million procurement contract for its Walker S2 humanoid robots—the largest-ever single order in the global humanoid robotics industry. Deliveries are set to begin later this year.
Walker S2: Built for 24/7 Work
Unveiled in July, the Walker S2 is UBTech’s latest industrial humanoid. Its standout feature is a hot-swappable autonomous battery system, enabling continuous operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How it works:
-
Dual-battery design with simultaneous charge + discharge
-
Seamless switching for uninterrupted power
-
Zero-gap battery compartment for quick swaps
-
Smart energy management—the robot decides whether to recharge or swap based on the task at hand
This innovation slashes downtime and reduces maintenance costs, making the Walker S2 a strong fit for demanding industrial environments.
UBTech’s Growing Robot Family
The S2 is just one part of UBTech’s expanding lineup:
-
Tiangong Walker – 172 cm tall research & education humanoid, already with 100+ orders since March 2025
-
Walker S1 – industrial humanoid predecessor
The Tiangong Walker, powered by the “Hui Si Kai Wu” intelligence platform, comes in basic, mid-range, and high-end versions—most orders so far are for the higher-tier builds.
Market Momentum
UBTech reports:
-
Nearly 400M in Walker contracts signed to date
-
50M worth of deliveries in the first half of 2025
-
Goal: 500 humanoids delivered by end of 2025, with annual capacity exceeding 1,000 units
This record-breaking order cements UBTech’s role as a leader in humanoid robotics and highlights growing industrial demand for advanced, always-on automation.
Would you trust humanoid robots like the Walker S2 to run 24/7 operations in factories or warehouses?
