Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor (a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor) decided to deploy humanoid robots combined with AI intelligence in its automobile production line to improve productivity.

The robot, called Walker S, is 1.7 meters tall and has the same body proportions as a worker. At the car factory, Walker S will perform a variety of tasks such as checking seat belts, testing door locks, assessing the quality of the car body, refueling and labeling.

In addition, Walker S is also capable of operating with other automated machines to handle complex unmanned production situations.

"Walk S is designed for inspection, assembly and logistics tasks. We hope that introducing humanoid robots into the production line will help improve automobile assembly output," said Lin Changbo, general manager of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor.

The humanoid robot is equipped with 41 high-performance mechanical joints and many advanced sensors including force perception, vision and hearing. These features enable Walker S to monitor its surroundings and interact with both humans and machines.

Walker S uses advanced hybrid control algorithms, allowing it to communicate with the plant's central system and transmit data back to the system in real time.

The Walker S Robot is provided by Ubtech Technology, a company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China,

Ubtech Technology is a global leader in AI and humanoid robotics. The company develops and manufactures intelligent robots for a wide range of applications, including education, entertainment, and industrial use.

Ubtech is known for its outstanding ability to create advanced humanoid robots that incorporate AI.
