UBTech Robotics, China’s first listed humanoid robot maker, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Hong Kong-listed luxury car dealer Yongda Automobiles Services Holdings, under which Yongda will purchase 400 U1 Pro ultra-bionic humanoid robots, with delivery planned this year.
The companies will combine UBTech’s product technology with Yongda’s channel and service resources to develop consumer sales, industry applications, experience and delivery services, and data and ecosystem cooperation, as they seek to commercialize embodied intelligence.
UBTech has built four core technology clusters: an embodied brain, a humanoid cerebellum, a high-performance body and swarm intelligence. It offers products and solutions for industrial, commercial and consumer scenarios. Yongda has a multi-city, multi-brand store network in China, an online traffic matrix and a large high-net-worth customer base. It has also begun building capabilities in humanoid robot channel sales, leasing, scenario redevelopment, local delivery and maintenance, and data collection and training.
For the consumer market, the partners will start with UBTech’s U1 series and Yongda’s initial purchase of 400 U1 Pro robots for product experience, sales promotion and customer service, aiming to create a replicable retail sales and service model for bionic humanoid robots. For industry customers, they will conduct demand research, solution design, sales and leasing in auto retail service scenarios, and advance secondary development and project implementation.
The two sides also plan to build a UBTech robot experience and exhibition center in Shanghai and explore store-in-store and joint display formats using Yongda’s outlets and teams in East China.
