NewTimeSpace News, on 24 September 2026, humanoid robot shares traded with volatility while UBTECH ROBOTICS (09880.HK) weakened. As of 13:15, the company quoted HKD 78.050, down 1.26%.

On the news front, on 23 September 2026, the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo opened in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and runs until 27 September. With the annual theme "Meet the AI Future at the Expo", the event covers an exhibition area of 170,000 square metres and brings together more than 2,000 exhibitors, featuring one digital trade themed pavilion, six specialised industry exhibition zones covering Silk Road e-commerce, artificial intelligence, digital mobility, digital entertainment, digital healthcare, and spatial intelligence and patent-intensive products, and one digital trade innovation and integration zone. The artificial intelligence zone focuses on three directions - open-source ecosystems, embodied intelligence and institutional innovation - and sets up sections on data trading, model applications, embodied intelligence robots and intelligent terminals, covering the full chain from algorithm foundations and core hardware to industry solutions, with humanoid robot makers such as UBTECH ROBOTICS (09880.HK) exhibiting together in the zone.

In addition, on 23 September 2026, Tesla's chief executive said in an interview that he predicts that within 10 years or less there will be at least 1 billion humanoid robots, that the number may reach 10 billion in 15 years and possibly 100 billion in 20 years. He said that in the future everyone will be able to own a dedicated robot, and a single person may control hundreds or even tens of thousands of physical robots and digital agents.

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.

GF SECURITIES believes that prices and sentiment in the robot sector are currently at a low level and that, with industrial mass production advancing, the domestic supply chain is expected to benefit from its scale manufacturing capability and cost advantages.

GUOYUAN SECURITIES believes that the humanoid robot industry is gradually shifting from functional demonstration to scaled deployment and continuous operation, and that product reliability, task success rates, deployment cycles and unit operating costs will become important evaluation metrics in the commercialisation process, with complete machine makers capable of volume manufacturing, scenario delivery and continuous operation, and core component suppliers that have entered the supply chains of leading customers, completed product validation and possess large-scale supply capability, drawing greater attention.

### Summary

UBTECH ROBOTICS (09880.HK) fell 1.26% to HKD 78.050. The 5th Global Digital Trade Expo opened in Hangzhou; Tesla's CEO forecast 100 billion humanoid robots.
