Shenzhen-based Huawei, UBTech join forces to bring humanoid robots to factories and homes
Huawei Technologies has partnered with UBTech Robotics to advance the development of humanoids for factories and households, according to a joint announcement on Monday, as China ramps up broader adoption of these machines. Advertisement The agreement – signed in tech hub Shenzhen, in southern Guangdong province, where both companies are headquartered – aims to 'accelerate the transition of humanoid robots from laboratory innovations' to 'large-scale adoption in industrial, household and other scenarios'. The two companies plan to collaborate to create smart factories featuring humanoid robots and develop bipedal or wheeled service robots for household use. Under the agreement, Huawei will also help UBTech establish an innovation centre focused on 'embodied intelligence', a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that embeds cognitive processes in a body. The partnership would leverage Huawei's growing strengths in its self-developed Ascend and Kunpeng AI processors, as well as its cloud computing and large AI model technologies, the two parties said. Huawei is increasing its partnerships and investments in the robotics industry. Photo: Xinhua Shares of Hong Kong-listed UBTech rose nearly 10 per cent on Monday. The benchmark Hang Seng Index closed 3 per cent higher in its best one-day performance since early March, on the back of optimism over a resolution of the US-China trade war
