Why it matters

Walker S2 is deployed in Chinese car plants including BYD and Zeekr, which is a shorter distance between announcement and shop floor than most humanoids manage.

What it can do

Industrial tasks on production lines. UBTech has demonstrated autonomous battery swapping on the S2, so it does not stop to charge.

The company

UBTech Robotics builds humanoids for industrial and commercial deployment and sells through quotes rather than a store.

Specs

UBTECH’s newer industrial humanoid and, by its own claim, the first that swaps its own batteries: a dual-battery design lets it choose between swapping and charging by task priority. 15 kg payload across a 0 to 1.8 m working range, a 125-degree bend for deep squats and stoop lifting, binocular RGB stereo vision in the head. The product page publishes no height, weight or price, so none is listed here. From ubtrobot.com.

Roboosh verdict

The successor to the Walker S1 and the model actually in plants today.

Reality check

A factory deployment says nothing about home use. This machine is not built for one.
