Humanoid robots are reshaping the future of global tech. From R&D to real-world use, the competition is intensifying.
By the end of 2024, more than 220 companies worldwide were developing humanoid robots, with Chinese firms accounting for half the market. The industry is projected to reach 8.24 billion yuan in 2025, claiming nearly 50 percent of the global share.
From UBTECH's panda-inspired "YouYou" blending Eastern aesthetics, to Tiangong Ultra setting a record with its 100-meter sprint, and Unitree's robotic dogs dominating global sales — which one will lead the wave? China's robotics strength is accelerating the future through relentless innovation.
