On May 31, in a collaborative effort, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor (a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Corporation) and Ubtech Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement to use humanoid robots in the automotive manufacturing industry. This partnership represents a significant advancement in integrating cutting-edge robotics technology into traditional manufacturing processes.

As part of this partnership, Ubtech’s industrial-grade humanoid robot, Walker S, will be deployed at Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor. Walker S will perform various tasks in the car manufacturing process, such as safety belt inspection, door lock testing, body quality checks, oil filling, and label application. The robot will also work with traditional automated equipment to handle complex scenarios in unmanned production.

Lin Changbo, General Manager of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, said, “Walk S is designed for inspection, assembly, and logistics tasks. We aim to enhance manufacturing capabilities and promote humanoid robots in the automotive industry.”

Walker S, an industrial-grade humanoid robot standing 1.7 meters tall, resembles human proportions. It features a “fusion control” algorithm, allowing communication with the factory system and real-time data sharing. With 41 high-performance servo joints and advanced sensory capabilities, Walker S can perceive its environment and interact with objects and people.
