Justin McAfeeGUEST
They have Chinese factories now producing a humanoid robot roughly every 30 minutes.
Justin McAfeeGUEST
They have the market leaders like Unitree, Ubitech, AGIbot, all of these ones are in China.
Justin McAfeeGUEST
And they're able to kind of use a lot of their commodity and industrial pipelines to make these like really low costs.
Justin McAfeeGUEST
But I would say with the caveat that we do have some interest in the in the US on pursuing more of these strategies.
Grayson BrulteHOST
Then we have hardware profits.
Grayson BrulteHOST
UbiTech's humanoid revenue explodes 1,445% on industrial demand.
Grayson BrulteHOST
No surprise there to those who listen to autonomy signals.
Grayson BrulteHOST
Then the third signal is the autonomous Sammy drill takes humans out of the blast zone.
DanielHOST
Trainers are using headsets and controllers to guide the robots through tasks like packaging noodles and making coffee.
DanielHOST
Despite an $18 million government investment with Ubitech, these robots struggle with tasks that require intuition and adaptability.
MayaHOST
China has set its sights on dominating the humanoid robot market, but the technology is still in its infancy.
MayaHOST
The high costs and limited demand are significant hurdles.
Nazirul AsrarPANELIST
Ah, yeah, I think the
Nadia KohPANELIST
one from UB Tech, right, they created, like, humanoid robots that look very close to humans.
Nadia KohPANELIST
Yes.
Nadia KohPANELIST
I don't know.
Sean SaleHOST
But the people involved often describe something that generally helped them where human connection was missing.
Paul RhodesHOST
Yeah, and I think if you now take that software relationship and if you give it a body, which we discussed in one of our Futures of AI as well, in July, Reuters reported that Chinese robotics company UB Tech unveiled ultra-realistic humanoid companions designed for emotional support, male and female versions.
Paul RhodesHOST
The top models are priced at up to 990,000 yen, I think, roughly 107,000 pounds.
Paul RhodesHOST
Yeah.

Unitree came second with over 7,000 units and a 31% share.

Interestingly, CounterPoint's top 5 list is identical to Smart Analytics Global's ranking, Agibot, Unitree, Galbot, Ubitech, and Leju.
speaker_0HOST
But where are these robots actually being used? More than 60% of shipments still go mainly into entertainment, education, and research.
speaker_0HOST
I previously made a video comparing the corporate structures and product portfolios of Unitree and Agibot.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Está restringiendo las importaciones de robots fabricados en el extranjero.

Unitree's IPO comes almost three years after its smaller Chinese rival, UBTech Robotics Co., was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Earlier this year, several major robotics firms have reported significant losses while spending heavily on research and development.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
UbiTech, for example, saw its humanoid robot revenue jump more than 2,200% last year.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
But despite that growth, the company still reported a loss of roughly $110 million.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
Analysts say companies that cannot prove their robots create real value for customers could eventually be pushed out.
