UBTECH’s Walker S2 humanoid robots are actively transforming industrial automation at China’s first 5G-enabled wind turbine smart factory operated by SANY RE. These robots autonomously navigate the factory floor, performing human-like tasks such as precise component handling and adaptive assembly line work. Leveraging 5G connectivity, the Walker S2 demonstrates advanced mobility, dexterity, and stable balance, enabling it to safely and effectively operate alongside human workers. The robots use a proprietary binocular stereo vision system with deep learning for real-time spatial awareness and object recognition, enhancing their ability to interact dynamically within the production environment. Designed with a whole-body dynamic balance algorithm, the Walker S2 can perform physically demanding tasks including deep squatting, forward pitching, and lifting payloads up to 15 kilograms. It operates on UBTECH’s Co-Agent system within the BrainNet 2.0 AI framework, which facilitates adaptive, multi-step task execution and coordination with other robots. The robot’s autonomous power system supports continuous operation
