About UBtech

UBTECH Robotics, or UBTECH for short, is a world-leading manufacturer of humanoid robots and intelligent service robots, headquartered in Shenzhen, China. Founded in 2012, the company has consistently specialized in the development, production, and global marketing of humanoid robot systems. With a portfolio ranging from industrial bipedal robots and service robots for reception and customer contact to educational robots, UBTECH covers the entire spectrum of modern robotics. Terra Robotics acts as a specialized integration partner in the DACH region, collaborating with UBTECH to implement these systems in concrete projects for companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

UBTECH's Vision: Intelligent Robots in Daily Use

UBTECH's vision is clearly defined: intelligent robots should make people's everyday lives in both work and private spheres more comfortable, safer, and more efficient. To this end, the manufacturer combines artificial intelligence with sophisticated mechatronics and its own platform for software, services, and content. The goal is a comprehensive ecosystem where hardware, software, cloud services, and support seamlessly integrate. While classic industrial robots often work in isolation behind safety fences, UBTECH develops specialized humanoid and service-oriented systems that interact directly with humans, supplementing rather than replacing workplaces.

Core Competencies: Humanoid Robotics and AI Platform

UBTECH is considered one of the technological pioneers in the field of humanoid robotics. For many years, the company has invested in its own drive and joint technology, dynamic full-body balance, and precise motion planning for bipedal robots. In parallel, UBTECH is expanding its AI platform, which consists of multimodal large models, computer vision, speech processing, and a co-agent system for complex task chains. Particularly in industrial environments, this AI is used to enable robots to combine multiple sub-tasks – from perceiving their surroundings and planning to executing actions.

Broad Portfolio: From Industrial Humanoids to Educational Robots

UBTECH's product portfolio is deliberately broad. In the Walker series, the manufacturer offers fully-fledged humanoid robots for industrial applications and demanding service scenarios. The Cruzr family includes mobile service robots with a humanoid upper body for reception, consulting, and interactive applications in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and public facilities. The portfolio is complemented by charming brand ambassadors like the Panda Robot as well as educational and learning robots such as Yanshee and the Alpha series, which were specifically designed for schools, universities, and training centers. For Terra Robotics customers, this means they receive highly specialized industrial humanoids, service robots, and education systems from a single source.

Walker S Series: Humanoid Robots for Industry and Logistics

With the Walker S series, UBTECH positions itself in the field of industrial humanoid robotics. Walker S2 is considered one of the first humanoid robots capable of working around the clock in an industrial environment and changing its own batteries. The system combines a bipedal, dynamically balanced walking chassis with high-performance servo motors, powerful hands, and an AI stack for navigation, perception, and task planning. Typical fields of application range from material transport and handling in warehouses to assembly assistance and inspection tasks in complex facilities. Thanks to its humanoid form, the robot can work with existing infrastructure, such as using doors, buttons, or shelves, without requiring the environment to be completely rebuilt. For industrial customers in the DACH region, this opens up new options for automating processes where traditional industrial robots encounter structural or safety-related limitations.

Cruzr Platform: Service Robots for Reception, Consulting, and Guiding

In the field of service robotics, Cruzr is one of UBTECH's best-known systems. Cruzr and Cruzr 1S are cloud-based, humanoid service robots that can actively approach visitors, provide multilingual advice, and function as interactive information terminals. The robot combines voice recognition, a touch display, gestures, and movement into a multimodal experience. Companies use Cruzr as a reception robot, digital guide, or promotional assistant to greet visitors, explain products, or lead them to relevant areas. Technically, Cruzr uses the in-house U-SLAM navigation system for centimeter-accurate indoor path planning, supplemented by depth sensing and automatic return to the charging station. Additionally, the robot can interact with lighting, displays, or other connected devices via IoT interfaces. In conjunction with the Terra Cloud or customer-specific integrations, content can be managed centrally and campaigns rolled out easily.

Educational Robotics: Yanshee and Alpha for STEM and Research

In addition to industry and service, UBTECH places great emphasis on educational robotics. Models like Yanshee and the humanoid robots of the Alpha series were specifically developed for schools, universities, and research institutions. They combine a robust hardware platform with openly accessible sensors and actuators, as well as block-based or text-based programming. This allows students in STEM subjects to experiment practically with robotics, AI, and automation. Universities use the systems for research projects focused on perception, motion control, or human-robot interaction. For companies, the use of these educational robots also offers an image benefit and contributes to promoting talent in technically oriented professional fields.

UBTECH and Terra Robotics: A Strong Partnership in the DACH Region

For UBTECH systems to reach their potential in daily life, a partner is needed that translates the technology into concrete processes. Terra Robotics takes on exactly this role in the DACH market. Based on the UBTECH product range, Terra works with customers to develop tailored solutions – from selecting the appropriate robots and configuring maps, routes, and dialogues to integrating them into existing IT and IoT infrastructure. Projects typically start with an analysis of application scenarios, pilot phases, and clear metrics for success and economic efficiency. Subsequently, implementation, training, and ongoing support accompany operations. Optionally, Robot-as-a-Service models, maintenance contracts, and a connection to a cloud platform hosted in Germany can be arranged to cleanly manage operations and data sovereignty.

Future-Proofing and Investment Protection

UBTECH is a heavyweight in the robotics industry, not only technologically but also economically. The publicly listed company invests continuously in research and development and is driving the broad rollout of humanoid robots forward. The inclusion of the Walker S2 series in high-volume series production, along with extensive orders from industry and logistics, shows that humanoid robotics is transitioning from the pilot phase to productive use. For Terra Robotics customers, this means that investments in UBTECH systems are designed for long-term development, spare parts supply, and software updates. Combined with the project and service expertise of Terra Robotics, this creates a solution that not only impresses today but will also grow with your requirements in the coming years.
