UBTECH announced it had signed a contract worth 250 million yuan with a leading domestic enterprise for its intelligent humanoid robot products and solutions.

Beijing (Gasgoo)-On September 3, UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP LTD ("UBTECH") , a Chinese humanoid robots company, announced it had signed a contract worth 250 million yuan with a leading domestic enterprise for its intelligent humanoid robot products and solutions. The contract centers on the UBTECH's Walker S2 humanoid robot, with deliveries scheduled to begin within this year.

The Walker S2, unveiled in July, is UBTECH's next-generation industrial humanoid robot. It features a hot-swappable autonomous battery replacement system that enables continuous 24/7 operation, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances overall production efficiency.

The system employs real-time power monitoring and dynamic energy balancing, allowing dual batteries to charge and discharge simultaneously with seamless switching. Standardized battery modules and zero-gap compartment design make rapid replacement possible, while precision positioning and compliant control algorithms ensure accurate alignment. In practice, the robot can autonomously decide whether to recharge or swap batteries depending on task priorities.

Beyond the Walker S2, UBTECH has also introduced other humanoid robots across industrial, commercial, and education-research applications, including the full-scale research and education model Tiangong Xingzhe (in Chinese pinyin), the industrial-grade Walker S1, and the commercial Walker C. Since its launch on March 12, Tiangong Xingzhe has received more than 100 units of orders, and UBTECH expects deliveries in the education and research segment alone to exceed 300 units this year.

Standing 172 cm tall, Tiangong Xingzhe adopts a highly bionic torso structure and human-like motion control, and is powered by the general-purpose embodied intelligence platform "Hui Si Kai Wu", developed by the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics. The robot comes in basic, mid-range, and high-end configurations, with more than 60% of current orders for the mid-range and high-end models.

Overall, public data shows that UBTECH's Walker humanoid robot series has secured nearly 400 million yuan in contracts to date, including close to 50 million yuan fulfilled in the first half of this year. The company projects deliveries of 500 industrial humanoid robots in 2025, with annual production capacity expected to surpass 1,000 units.

[Solid-State Battery Rumor Refuted: CATARC's Wang Fang Says No Compliance Determination Was Made on Solid-State Battery Enterprises] On September 4, 2026, Wang Fang, Chief Scientist at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC), clarified recent rumors at the "2026 World Power Battery Conference": CATARC has not conducted any determination on solid-state battery enterprises, and the related rumors are "false information." Recently, there were market reports claiming that CATARC, based on the national standard GB/T 43568-2026 "Solid-State Batteries for Electric Vehicles – Part 1: Terminology and Classification," which took effect in July this year, conducted determinations on more than 320 enterprises involved in solid-state batteries, with only 9 ultimately passing all compliance items in full.

[Solid-state battery: sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt, January-August]

[Solid-state battery: Sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt in January-August] From January to August 2026, China's cumulative sulphide electrolyte production reached 70 mt, up 119.7% YoY, already surpassing the full-year 2025 total (58.29 mt). However, this impressive growth masks three harsh realities: ① Only 19.6% of the annual forecast target (360 mt) has been achieved; ② The capacity utilization rate in August was just 5.82%, with capacity severely idling; ③ Product prices continued to plummet (LPSC fell over 24% in a single month). Q4 average monthly production will most likely land in the 11.5-13 mt range, with a full-year total of approximately 118-121 mt, representing a "solid climb." Annual forecast of 360 mt, with only 70 mt completed in the first eight months: the gap between the "mild ramp-up" of China's sulphide electrolyte and reality.
