Under the agreement, the two companies will deepen cooperation across the entire value chain of humanoid robots, combining UBTECH’s full-stack technology capabilities with Siemens’ global expertise in digital manufacturing. The partnership aims to support UBTECH’s goal of reaching an annual production capacity of 10,000 industrial humanoid robots by 2026, accelerating the industry’s shift from research and development to mass production.
At the signing ceremony, Zhou Jian said demand for humanoid robots has surged this year, with order volumes climbing notably. Achieving 10,000-unit scale production is now a target the company must hit next year. Partnering with Siemens is a critical step to ensure that goal is met, leveraging the combined technological and resource strengths of both sides to drive mass production.
The collaboration will focus on strategic planning, technology integration, talent development, and ecosystem building. Siemens will draw on its global smart manufacturing practices and trends in the humanoid robotics sector to map out a comprehensive digital transformation strategy and technical roadmap for UBTECH, spanning from core technology R&D to mass production.
On the technology front, UBTECH will prioritize Siemens’ digital industrial software solutions—covering product design, simulation testing, process planning, manufacturing, and full lifecycle management—to digitize the entire R&D and production workflow. Siemens, for its part, will integrate its global technical resources to provide customized services and ongoing technical training to UBTECH. The two companies also plan to collaborate on market alignment and building a broader industrial ecosystem.
