FAW-Volkswagen to test UBTECH humanoids in its logistics

According to Gasgoo Auto News, UBTECH Robotics and FAW-Volkswagen have signed a strategic partnership to develop and test embodied intelligence robots in their logistics operations, with demonstration scenarios in manufacturing.

This is a development and trial agreement, not a confirmed production deployment. Gasgoo does not specify the robot model, the fleet size, the logistics task concerned or the timetable for the trials.

FAW-Volkswagen operates five production bases, but the outlet does not say which will take part in the trials. The work targets factories that must handle an increasingly varied range of vehicle configurations.

UBTECH says its industrial humanoid platform combines an embodied intelligence “brain”, motion control, robot hardware and swarm intelligence. The outlet gives no cycle time, no reliability figure and no measure of human intervention for this work.

Separately, UBTECH says its humanoid robot factory, designed for production on a scale of 10,000 units, has entered service. That figure is the factory's target capacity, not robots already built or ordered by FAW-Volkswagen.

The company plans to increase production of several ranges, aimed at industry, commerce and homes, and to begin deliveries in the second half of 2026. Gasgoo does not link these deliveries to the partnership's timetable.
