How close to a home
1 / 5
No official photograph here yet. Both go up once verified, and not before.
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
Bipedal, with a swappable battery. The maker has not published height, weight or payload.
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.
