The U.S. and China remain locked in a race for dominance in AI, a competition that intensified following the January launch of DeepSeek, a Chinese rival to ChatGPT. Now, the race has elevated a notch higher, with both nations ramping up efforts to develop humanoid robots designed to work alongside — and potentially replace — humans in the workplace. One of China's main players in perfecting humanoid mechanical workers is UBTECH, a Shenzhen-based robotics company.
UBTECH is considered one of China's leading innovators of humanoid robots and intelligent robotic services. The company has built its proprietary Robot Operating System Application framework (ROSA), which integrates robotics and AI technologies . It also collaborates with several automotive manufacturers, including Chinese car maker Geely, to deploy robotic solutions in assembly lines.
Teams of Chinese engineers recently gathered in an electric vehicle (EV) factory in China , showcasing the country's quest to gain an edge in the race for technological dominance, with an eye on its rivalry with the U.S.
In a series of demonstrations, UBTECH engineers showcased the capabilities of their humanoid robot, highlighting features such as self-balancing, hand-eye coordination, and visual interaction. The robot completed tasks like sorting out auto parts or moving objects across multiple points, underscoring China's progress in AI and robotics development.
The long term goal is clear: deploy humanoid robots in real-world work environments, particularly in production lines. It's a similar vision to what Elon Musk has promoted for Tesla's robotics division, which aims to achieve workplace integration by 2025.
In the race to deploy intelligent humanoid robots, whomever gains the advantage between China and the U.S. will have the chance to dominate the field, especially in labor-intensive industries like manufacturing and various sectors.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently stated, "The time has come for robots," adding that robotics "could very well be the largest industry of all."
