On June 30, UBTECH held its 2026 global press conference in Shenzhen, announcing its "human-machine symbiosis" strategy for the next decade, and launching the U1 series of full-size super-bionic humanoid robots, including half-body version U1 Lite, high-end full-body version U1 Pro and high-dynamic full-body version U1 Ultra. Among them, U1 Lite is priced at 119,800 yuan; U1 Pro is 169,800 yuan; U1 Ultra male version is 990,000 yuan, and the female version is 880,000 yuan.
It is understood that at the press conference, UBTECH announced that the total number of online and offline U1 U1 orders has exceeded 13,361 units, and it strives to deliver this year. This is also the only full-size super-bionic humanoid robot in the world with large-scale mass production capabilities, marking the beginning of humanoid robots moving from industrial scenarios to consumer scenarios, ushering in a new era of human-machine symbiosis.
At the press conference, Zhou Jian, founder, chairman of the board and CEO of UBTECH, released the "human-machine symbiosis strategy." He believes that human-machine symbiosis will evolve in three steps: first, it will replace high-risk repetitive labor to liberate manpower, then it will penetrate into life to provide companionship services, and finally, humans and machines will be deeply integrated regardless of boundaries. The large-scale popularization of robots will reshape the social distribution system. Zhou Jian envisions that in the future, human income may include basic security, creative income, and machine dividends, and technological dividends will be shared by all people. The ultimate mission of technology is to remove the shackles of human survival and labor, allowing people to focus on creation, love and emotion. Human-machine symbiosis will also become a cosmic romance for humans to rush to interstellar civilization.
Zhou Jian said that UBTECH is not just a humanoid robot equipment manufacturer, but a platform company that lays out future productivity, aiming to build the three cores of the human-machine city: 1. AI intelligent terminal: Humanoid robots serve as unified interactive terminals for all scenarios, gradually replacing mobile phones as the entrance to the Internet of life. 2. New quality productivity platform: open up software and hardware capabilities, empower industries, provide solutions for robotic vertical scenarios, and facilitate intelligent upgrades. 3. Human-machine city information base: Humans are responsible for decision-making, scheduling and issuing orders, while robots are responsible for implementation, undertake various public services, and build a city-wide human-machine collaborative execution network.
In terms of overall layout, UBTECH’s humanoid robot products have been launched this year, covering three levels of home, industrial and commercial scenarios, forming a complete AI infrastructure and implementing the human-machine symbiosis strategy. UBTECH relies on a clear two-year development strategy to steadily advance its long-term layout.
Relying on full-stack self-developed technology, full-scenario business layout, and continuous innovation of talent mechanisms, UBITE has mastered many industry milestones and achieved the top position in the world's mass production of full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robots in 2025. In 2026, it will officially launch the consumer-grade humanoid robot brand Youshijie, completing a complete closed loop from To B to To C.
Youshijie's goal is to make a companion robot that looks good, interacts thoughtfully, knows how to respond, and is available at any time. It can provide continuous companionship during the product life cycle, and the interaction can be iteratively adjusted according to the user stage.
Tan Min, chief brand officer of UBTECH, president of the Robot Consumer Innovation Division, and general manager of UBTECH, said: "Human-machine companionship is a brand-new solution proposed for the field of mental health and a brand-new caring measure. The human-machine companionship economy is the first rigid demand scenario in human history where emotional value has no upper limit, companionship has no boundaries, and the entire life cycle is covered. It is expected that China's super-bionic robot market will explode from tens of billions to trillions from 2026 to 2036."
As the world's only full-size super-bionic humanoid robot with large-scale mass production capabilities, UWorld has a full chain of independent technologies from bionic skin, embodied intelligent hardware, operating systems to emotional large-scale models and complete machine mass production and manufacturing, breaking the industry's mass production bottleneck.
The U1 series has 88 degrees of freedom and an original double-fulcrum bionic cervical spine, covering 90% of basic human movements. This product is equipped with the world's first large-scale emotional model for long-term companionship, which can recognize more than 20 kinds of fine-grained emotions with an accuracy of over 90%. Its bionic fast-slow brain architecture draws on cognitive neuroscience to achieve synergy between 500ms intuitive response and hundreds of billions of parameter-level in-depth reasoning. The bionic expression drive system uses a self-developed controller to control the speech-lip delay within 20ms, ending the "robot feel".
The cross-time and space memory library Agent Memory OS builds a digital life system, and the active care engine realizes wake-word-free interaction based on environmental perception, making the U-World super bionic humanoid robot a "eye-catching" partner.
At the same time, Youshijie insists that users control their own data, and users can view, export and delete it at any time. At the same time, data is prioritized for local processing and is not uploaded to the cloud unless necessary. With the support of ultimate bionic interaction and full-link security, humanoid robots can make the leap from tools to warm companions.
The application scenarios of Youshijie U1 series cover consumer scenarios such as daily companionship, emotional support, life aesthetics, and social assistance, as well as commercial scenarios such as welcome reception, elderly care companionship, psychological healing, cultural tourism exhibitions, scientific research and teaching, and high-end housekeeping services.
According to reports, in 2026, Youshijie plans to donate 100 customized bionic robots, which will physically reproduce the designated image through 3D facial modeling and voiceprint traceback technology, deeply integrate large models of emotional interaction and exclusive long-term memory, and provide professional psychological companionship with multi-modal situational awareness.
At the press conference, UBTECH awarded village chief Li Rui the title of "Robot Charity Ambassador". New generation stars Wang Jiayi and Cheng Hongxin came to the scene and became the first star members of the "Man-Machine Accompanying Independence Project" robot charity activity. Village chief Li Rui will also mobilize more celebrity friends to jointly find 100 special families and individuals in need of help.
A number of ecological cooperations were simultaneously launched at the press conference. Alan Walker, the world's most influential electronic music producer and DJ, serves as the ambassador for UWorld's global entertainment IP and launches the "WALKER×WALKER" joint IP. He will also become the world's first musician with an exclusive bionic robot. In addition, Youshijie has also reached cooperation on bionic robot applications with partners from various fields such as media, medical care, and consumption, and completed centralized contracts to accelerate the large-scale implementation of Ushijie U1 in diverse scenarios.
