On the news front, Bosch Group, Mercedes‑Benz's strategic partner in China, recently became UBTECH's first authorized official partner for bionic humanoid robots in the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region and signed a strategic sales cooperation agreement. Bosch Group will sell UBTECH's ultra‑bionic humanoid robot UWorld U1 and other products through channels including the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region and its 4S dealership networks (including Mercedes‑Benz and Hyundai 4S stores).

TrendForce's latest robotics industry research indicates that as the global population structure shifts toward aging, declining birth rates, and an increasing number of people living alone, demand for companion‑type humanoid robots is being supported by the rapidly rising "companionship economy." It is projected that industry output value will reach USD 1.1 billion by 2030.

TrendForce pointed out that the advent of the U1 signals that the humanoid robot supply chain has extended from industrial applications to the consumer electronics market. Going forward, in addition to traditional key components such as servo motors, reducers, and joint modules, the importance of highly realistic materials, multimodal sensors, micro‑expression actuators, emotional models, and on‑device AI inference capabilities will increase simultaneously, creating new opportunities across the supply chain.

UBTECH ROBOTICS (09880.HK) Focuses on humanoid robot complete machine R&D, full-stack motion control algorithms, and commercial deployment across industrial and logistics scenarios. Its core product, the Walker S series humanoid robot, has deeply integrated into the final assembly lines of multiple leading NEV manufacturers, executing on-site operations such as the flexible handling of automotive components, precision assembly, and intelligent quality inspection. The company pioneers the leap from laboratory prototypes to real-world industrial automation and mass production applications, holding immense technological scarcity and a definitive premium as a pure-play robotics asset.
