On January 15, ROBOTERA signed with SF Technology to forge a deep partnership. The two will focus on logistics scenarios such as express delivery and warehousing, jointly developing and promoting embodied AI robot solutions to push the industry toward higher levels of intelligent, flexible operations.
SF Technology, a leader in logistics tech, has built a digital supply-chain ecosystem leveraging core in-house technologies including its "Baichuan" supply-chain platform and the "SF Super Brain" intelligent decision system.
Working with ROBOTERA, the partners will adopt a "co-develop and deploy" model to scale embodied AI robots across supply-chain operations — covering warehousing, transfer hubs and distribution — to lift efficiency and quality end to end. In addition, the two will jointly formulate industry standards for embodied AI robots in logistics, guiding standardized development and steering the sector toward more advanced intelligent, flexible upgrades.

As an embodied AI company with full-stack, in-house software-and-hardware R&D, ROBOTERA aims to build general-purpose robots and general intelligence for robots. Powered by its self-developed end-to-end VLA embodied model ERA-42, along with the full-size bipedal humanoid ROBOTERA L7 and the half-body module M7, ROBOTERA has launched an embodied AI warehousing and logistics solution that spans the full "sorting–scanning–feeding" workflow. The system integrates deeply with customer logistics platforms, enabling robots to adapt to scenario needs and flexibly handle tasks that vary in specifications and change dynamically.
As a full-size bipedal humanoid that combines high mobility with dexterous manipulation, the ROBOTERA L7 stands 171 cm tall and weighs 65 kg. At CES 2026, the L7 demonstrated high-degree-of-freedom whole-body teleoperation on stage — handing water to attendees, carrying bags, picking up items, throwing trash, delivering gifts and filming vlogs.
In logistics, robots running ROBOTERA's end-to-end VLA embodied model ERA-42 can sort and scan pharmaceuticals, personal-care goods and parcels. VLA applications have already gone live in warehousing — with deployments in Zhejiang and Shenzhen — and in cross-border logistics with China Customs, and the company has secured the field’s largest single order to date at nearly RMB 50 million.
The logistics industry is contending with labor shortages and inflexible automation. By fusing perception, decision-making and execution, embodied AI robots promise truly intelligent operations, raising efficiency and quality across the entire chain.
