UBTECH Launches UWORLD U1, the World's First Full-Size Mass-Produced Ultra-Bionic Humanoid Robot
The consumer robot line includes three variants and has drawn more than 13,361 preorders, according to the company.
- On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Shenzhen-based robotics firm UBTECH unveiled the UWORLD U1 Series, the world's first mass-produced full-size ultra-bionic humanoid robots designed for home companionship.
- Unlike previous factory-focused machines, UBTECH transitioned from industrial robotics to domestic settings, targeting personal companionship; the U1 features 88 servo joints and lifelike silicone skin.
- Standing 183cm and 168cm, the male and female versions utilize an emotional AI model running on a Rockchip RK3588 processor, while UBTECH stores all user data locally on the device for privacy.
- Consumers can purchase the U1 in Lite, Pro, and Ultra variants, with prices ranging from 119,800 RMB to 990,000 RMB for the Ultra model.
- This launch reflects a broader shift as Chinese technology firms move humanoid robotics from factory floors to family living rooms, and UBTECH plans to donate 100 customized U1 units annually to support vulnerable groups.
