Humanoid Robots (Part 1)

UBTECH

•
UBTECH has recently drawn attention with its humanoid robot capable of autonomously replacing its own battery. In a demo, they reportedly deployed more than ten robots in an industrial-like setting, performing tasks and swapping batteries automatically. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to witness this particular scene during my visit.

UNITREE

•
UNITREE once again captured market attention by launching the humanoid robot R1, priced at USD 5,900. I missed their live demo, but the company prepared a wide range of performances, staying true to its reputation:
•
Multiple robot dogs navigating diverse environments
•
Deliberate falls, drops from heights, being kicked, and even carrying an adult rider
•
Boxing demonstrations and other high-difficulty actions
•
The technical completeness and showmanship were both highly impressive.

SPIRIT AI

•
SPIRIT AI showcased a humanoid robot equipped with household assistance capabilities, including object recognition and classification. The demo covered a full laundry cycle—from loading clothes into the washing machine, removing them, and folding them (with some steps remote-controlled).

※ This article was not written after visiting all booths and reflects many personal perspectives. Some content may differ from actual facts, so please take it as reference only.

Overview

The enthusiasm for robotics was overwhelming. Despite the rain on opening day, visitors had to wait in line for nearly an hour just to enter. Inside, the halls were so crowded that people were practically carried along by the flow of the crowd. At popular booths, it was almost impossible to take a close look at the products.
The exhibition featured a wide range of technologies, from conventional industrial robots to the latest humanoid robots. Around 200 companies participated this year, a noticeable increase in both scale and numbers compared to last year. Humanoid robots were clearly the centerpiece. I focused mainly on partner companies and those of particular interest, but there simply wasn’t enough time to visit every booth.
Many exhibitors were busy handling interviews and large numbers of visitors, so extended conversations were rare—I often had to settle for snapping a quick photo before moving on. Some humanoid robot companies voiced concerns about the recent surge of new market entrants leading to an influx of low-quality products. They noted that the industry is currently at the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” and may soon enter the “Trough of Disillusionment.” Of course, this reflects the views of a few Chinese companies and does not necessarily capture the whole picture. Still, these companies were preparing countermeasures and steadily moving toward commercialization.
Overall, the event gave the impression that the era of Physical AI and humanoid robots has truly begun—and that China intends to lead the way. It was both inspiring and sobering at the same time.
On the opening day, despite rainy weather, long lines formed. I myself had to wait more than 40 minutes to enter.
Behind one booth, preparations for a competition using robot dogs seemed to be underway. Dozens of robot dogs and their pilots were standing by, a scene that clearly showed the passion for robotics and a solid ecosystem.

Booth Highlights

Robotic Hands and Related Parts

•
Last year, only about two booths showcased robotic hands. This year, there were more than 30—truly a Warring States Era of robotic hands. Reports suggest that dozens more companies are also active in this space. Here are a few that stood out:

At the 2025 IEEE World Haptics Conference, a KAIST research team showcased a remotely operated robot. This robot utilized OYmotion’s ROHand. It not only demonstrated the ability to grasp small objects but also to grip and freely stretch an elastic band, such as a timing belt, and hook it onto a specific ring. In addition, it showed that drilling was also possible. Through these demonstrations, it is clear that ROHand is a precise, accurate, and stable robotic hand.
ROHand used in remote operation robots

Recently, I visited the Humanoid Ecosystem Conference and Exhibition held in Shanghai, China (April 25–26, 2025) and gained various insights. Although the scale was not large, it was a valuable event to quickly grasp the latest technological trends.

1. Various Dexterous Hand Companies and Products

Companies such as OYmotion, Inspire Hand, and Brain Co showcased advanced dexterous hand technologies. These hands are equipped with sensors for object recognition and have increased degrees of freedom in the fingers, enabling more natural movements. Products ranged from lightweight hands around 300g to high-performance models exceeding 700g.

2. OYmotion’s New Product Launch News

OYmotion plans to launch a new robotic hand with built-in tactile sensors this May. They will also introduce a model that reduces weight and cost by using engineering plastic. In particular, they secured price competitiveness with a product in the 300g range priced at about 30% of the existing Ohand prosthetic hand.
