UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China’s border for $37 million

Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China’s border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

And now the scale of ambitions. UBTech promised to ship 500 humanoid robots to clients by the end of this year. And by the end of next year increase this number by 10 times. And a year later double it to 10 thousand units. Serial deliveries of Walker S2 will begin in December.

But border service — this is only the beginning. Chinese police are already using robots for patrolling streets in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Chengdu. In Shenzhen, humanoid robots work at customs for cargo processing and document analysis. Using large language models from DeepSeek. And robots with voice interface in several languages interact with tourists.

It turns out, UBTech stands out among many manufacturers of humanoid robots in China not only with ambitions. But also with real successes in practical application. Its robotic products already work at manufacturing enterprises in China. And now are entering government service.
