Other robots in car factories

Another step towards automation with humanoids.

Ubtech robotics, the largest manufacturer of educational and humanoid robots in China, is taking a bold step towards the future of the automotive industry. On August 5, the company announced strategic partnerships with two giants: Geely Holding Group, one of the largest automobile manufacturers in China and Miracle Automation Engineering Co. a renowned manufacturer of automated equipment.

These collaborations aim to integrate humanoid robots into the smart production of cars and components, promising to revolutionize the way cars are manufactured, one of the fruits of this partnership can already be seen in Zeekr's 5g smart factory, the vehicle brand. luxury electric vehicles from Geely, there the Walker S lite, a next-generation industrial humanoid robot from Ubtech robotics, has been integrated into the production line.

For 21 consecutive days this robot worked alongside human employees performing the crucial task of packing and protecting loads, this is a milestone since the Walker S lite is the first humanoid robot in China to perform this function in an Automotive factory.

But what makes the Walker S lite so special.

It is because it is equipped with advanced technology such as semantic navigation, via slam, end-to-end imitation learning and full-body motion control the robot is capable of operating autonomously, transporting heavy loads between pallets and assembly lines and does not alone, the Walker S lite collaborates with automatically guided vehicles, creating a perfect synergy between the machines in the factory with Geely providing application scenarios and Miracle Automation Engineering Co contributing its engineering expertise and Ubtech is positioning itself as a leader in the future commercialization of humanoid robots.

Since the beginning of 2024 the company has accelerated its efforts to insert the Walker S lite and smart manufacturing and the results have already begun to appear with established partnerships with big names in the Automotive industry such as NIO, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, FAW-Volkswagen and by of course Geely itself.

This breakthrough is not only a testament to the power of robotics in the industry, but also a look at what is to come, with robots like the Walker S lite taking on increasingly complex tasks, smart manufacturing is heading into a new era where Automation and Artificial Intelligence Become Fundamental Pillars of Industrial Production This triple collaboration between Ubtech, Geely and Miracle Automation promises to not only increase efficiency and quality in automobile manufacturing, but also pave the way for widespread adoption. scale of human robots in the industry, the future will undoubtedly be shaped by innovations like these.
