On April 12, Leju Robotics' pilot production line in Shenzhen's Longhua District was officially inaugurated; it marks Shenzhen's first pilot production line for humanoid robots. Currently, the manufacturing of humanoid robots is widely plagued by issues such as unstable production processes, high costs, and inconsistent quality. Leju Robotics' pilot production line is dedicated to resolving these challenges. To date, within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Leju Robotics has established a complete manufacturing closed loop characterized by "R&D and Pilot Production in Shenzhen" and "Manufacturing and Mass Production in Foshan."
Amidst the accelerating global transition toward low-carbon industrial development, "new quality productive forces" have emerged as the core engine driving high-quality growth within China's steel industry. As downstream sectors—such as high-end manufacturing and new energy—continue to raise their demands regarding steel variety, quality, and performance, steel enterprises are undergoing a profound transformation toward greener, smarter, and more efficient operations. With production processes evolving to keep pace with the times, the main drive systems of rolling mills now face critical requirements for high-precision control, rapid dynamic response, and high-efficiency operation. Wang Chao, Deputy Commander of the Baosteel Zhanjiang Steel Project Headquarters, stated: "Our gathering in Zhanjiang today—to exchange views, engage in discussion, and build consensus on core themes such as strengthening and optimizing enterprise performance, enhancing production line efficiency, and refining equipment management—is both timely and of profound practical significance. This represents not only a concrete step in our implementation of national strategies to build a manufacturing powerhouse, but also a pragmatic initiative for industry peers to join hands, learn from one another, stand united, and collectively overcome the challenges of the present times."
Recently, Youqi—the smart logistics subsidiary of UBTECH—signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Honda Trading (China) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Honda Trading"). The two parties will jointly explore the potential applications of embodied intelligent humanoid robots, autonomous logistics vehicles, and similar technologies within scenarios such as industrial manufacturing and warehousing logistics. Furthermore, once conditions are ripe, they will advance demonstration applications within Honda Trading's supply chain and facilitate the replication of these successful experiences, thereby jointly driving the practical implementation of embodied intelligence in the industrial sector. Guests attending the signing ceremony included Li Bei, CEO of Youqi; Jiao Jichao, Vice President and Head of the Research Institute at UBTECH Robotics; Kiyoshi Yoshida, Chairman of Honda Trading; and Xie Weihua, General Manager of Sales at Honda Trading.
Recently, the signing ceremony for a strategic cooperation agreement between UBTECH and Dematic Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dematic Technology") was successfully held in Shanghai, where the two parties formally signed the strategic partnership agreement. UBTECH and Dematic Technology will jointly drive the large-scale deployment and commercial application of humanoid robot technology across core scenarios such as intelligent manufacturing and smart logistics. This marks the entry of UBTECH's deep collaboration in the fields of embodied intelligence and industrial smart logistics into a brand-new phase. Zhou Jian—Founder, Chairman, and CEO of UBTECH—and Zhuo Xu—Chairman and General Manager of Demag Technology—along with their respective core management teams and partners, jointly attended this grand ceremony to witness this milestone moment for the industry.
