China’s Unitree Says It Shipped Over 5,500 Humanoid Robots in 2025, Signalling a Shift to Mass Market Scale
Unitree Technology said it shipped over 5,500 pure humanoid robots in 2025 and produced more than 6,500 robot bodies, clarifying earlier online confusion. The disclosure, if borne out, signals a shift in robotics from proof-of-concept demos toward mass production, but questions remain about verification, commercial viability and post-sale support.
China’s Yushu Says It Shipped Over 5,500 Humanoids in 2025—A Faster Commercial Roll‑out Than Analysts Expected
Yushu Technology announced it shipped over 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025 and produced more than 6,500 humanoid bodies, figures that exceed Omdia’s forecast by about 31%. The company is scaling manufacturing, expanding retail channels with JD.com, and preparing for a domestic IPO after reporting profitable 2024 revenue above RMB 1 billion.
Musk Doubles Down on Optimus: Tesla’s Bid to Become a Robot Company — Hype or Strategic Pivot?
Elon Musk says Tesla is “very likely” to evolve into a robotics company centred on the Optimus humanoid, asserting the business could dwarf Tesla’s current automotive operations. The claim follows weak global car sales and regulatory pressure on Tesla’s driving software, but turning a prototype humanoid into a mass‑market product faces steep technical, economic and regulatory hurdles.
China’s Humanoid-Robot Boom Enters a Darwinian Phase as ‘Brains’ Hold Back Mass Adoption
China’s humanoid-robot sector is undergoing rapid consolidation as a few companies capture orders and funding while many others struggle to commercialise. Analysts identify the AI "brain" — specialised large models and embodied datasets — as the critical bottleneck that will determine whether robots reach mass-market utility or remain niche industrial tools.
Airbus Teams Up with Chinese Robot Maker UBTECH to Push Humanoid Automation into Aerospace
UBTECH and Airbus have formed a partnership to develop humanoid robots for aerospace tasks, combining UBTECH’s bipedal platforms with Airbus’s operational expertise. The collaboration highlights both the practical appeal of human-form robots in human-centric environments and the central technical challenge: building safe, reliable "brains" for use in regulated, safety-critical settings.
China’s Humanoid Drive Hits a New Constraint: Training Data, Not Motors
China’s humanoid-robot sector is confronting a new chokepoint: the scarcity and high cost of high-quality training data. Companies and regional innovation centres are building motion-capture factories, standardised datasets and synthetic pipelines to turn robots that can move into robots that are practically useful, even as memory and chip supply constraints threaten overall scaling.
