On June 30, during UBTECH’s 2026 Global Launch Event, the company’s founder, Board Chairman, and CEO, Zhou Jian, made a big announcement. The pre-orders for their ultra-humanoid robot, the U1 series, have officially crossed the 10,000-unit mark across all channels. The goal? To start delivering these units before the year ends.
Here’s the cool part: this isn’t just another robot prototype. The U1 is currently the only full-size, ultra-humanoid robot in the world that’s actually built to handle large-scale mass production. That’s a pretty huge deal for the robotics industry.
