Overview
Walker S1 is the industrial humanoid UBTECH deployed on real vehicle-manufacturing assembly lines from late 2024, handling quality inspection, sorting and material transport at customers including BYD, Foxconn and Audi FAW. About 172 cm tall and 76 kg with 41 degrees of freedom and dexterous hands, it works collaboratively with autonomous logistics vehicles and AMRs/AGVs through smart-manufacturing management systems. It remains part of UBTECH's current industrial line alongside the newer, mass-produced Walker S2, which now leads the segment. Enterprises request it through the dedicated sales-inquiry flow on the official product page, with pricing quoted per deployment.
