UBTECH commissions a humanoid robot factory

Humanoids Daily reports that UBTECH has commissioned its Super Smart Factory in Liuzhou, Guangxi, to build Walker S series robots. It describes a 14,000 m² facility with a flexible, non-conveyor assembly line, where robots handle kit preparation and logistics. While the account calls this “robots building robots,” one observer offers a more cautious interpretation: robots doing simple tasks and delivering items to human workers are, they argue, a sign we aren’t heading for “hard takeoff” yet.
