China has deployed humanoid robots at its border with Vietnam to help ease congestion at one of its busiest international crossings. The move comes as the Fangchenggang border checkpoint in China’s Guangxi region struggles with heavy daily traffic from cargo trucks, buses, and commuters, creating delays during customs inspections.
Border authorities have purchased Ubtech Robotics’ Walker S2 humanoid robots under a contract worth about $40 million. Although the number of robots has not been disclosed, initial deliveries have begun for deployment at key transit hubs.
Recently, UBTech unveiled the UWORLD U1 Series, which it says is the world’s first full-size ultra-bionic humanoid robot lineup designed for mass production.
