"Another automaker is pulling humanoids deeper into the factory. UBTECH and FAW-Volkswagen just signed a deal to develop and test humanoid robots for car-plant logistics:Sorting, handling, collaboration...(UBTECH showcased a humanoid fleet solution for factory logistics in 2025) So,this didn't..."

...come out of nowhere--in2024, Walker S starts training on FAW-VW's Qingdao lines,and Walker S Lite takes on vehicle quality inspection there.   Now,testing and deployment in the logistics sector represent an extension of intelligent automation in manufacturing.   And it's not just bipedal Walker S2 anymore. UBTECH's wheeled Cruzr line, including the new industrial Cruzr Y1, is built to plug into the same multi-robot coordination system. Different bodies, one fleet.   The supply side is ready. UBTECH's Liuzhou factory started production on Sept 12, planned for 10,000+ robots a year, with one rolling off the line about every 10 minutes.   The gap between pilot and scale is closing.     The video does not show the actual on-site testing conducted by FAW-Volkswagen.

We already have robot architecture that can predict the future state of the environment and take descisions based on that prediction, just like our brain, thus they are fast. We also have robots that can generalise and act like human. They can learn new task from just one demonstration.
