First Batch of Six National Standards for Humanoid Robots, Led and Co-Drafted by UBTECH, Released

Recently, the first batch of six national standards for humanoid robots, which UBTECH led the drafting of and participated in compiling, was officially released. They are "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 1: General Provisions," "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 2: Environmental Perception," "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 3: Decision Planning," "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 4: Motion Control," "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 5: Task Operation," and "Technical Specification for Humanoid Robot Simulation Test Platform," helping to promote the coordinated development of key humanoid robot technologies. To date, UBTECH has cumulatively participated in the drafting and release of 73 related standards, including 4 international standards and 42 national and industry standards.

The six national standards will take effect on April 1, 2027, and are administered by the National Technical Committee 591 on Robots of Standardization Administration of China (TC591) and executed by the Humanoid Robot Subcommittee of the National Technical Committee 591 on Robots (TC591SC5). Deeply engaged in the embodied intelligence and humanoid robot track, UBTECH has delivered impressive growth results. In the first half of 2026, the company's total revenue was 1.27 billion yuan, up 104.2% year on year; overall humanoid robot sales rose 268.3% year on year. Among them, full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robots showed rapid growth momentum, with revenue up 1,445% year on year and sales up 1,946.7% year on year. The latest humanoid robot research report from Frost & Sullivan shows that UBTECH ranks first globally in market share in both core categories: all humanoid robots and full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robots. Among the two core technical standards, UBTECH participated as one of the top five drafting units in the preparation of GB/T 48317.4—2026 "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 4: Motion Control" and GB/T 48317.3—2026 "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 3: Decision Planning." Motion control focuses on underlying control, whole-body coordination, and operational reliability, making robot movements more stable; decision planning addresses information processing, task planning, and decision-making, enabling robots to better understand and organize complex tasks. The two standards connect with task operation, opening up the key technical chain from "how a task is done" to "how an action is realized." In addition, UBTECH also participated in the compilation of three standards: GB/T 48317.1—2026 "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 1: General Provisions," GB/T 48317.2—2026 "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots Part 2: Environmental Perception," and GB/T 48316—2026 "Technical Specification for Humanoid Robot Simulation Test Platform." The three standards provide technical support in aspects including the overall technical framework, acquisition and understanding of environmental information, and simulation platform architecture and testing methods, and together with decision, control, and operation requirements form a standardization chain from complete machine design to capability verification. For the industry, the value of this standards release lies not only in setting references for individual technologies, but also in promoting the coordinated linkage of "general requirements—environmental perception—decision planning—motion control—task operation—simulation verification." Unified technical specifications help reduce misunderstandings in R&D, testing, selection, and delivery, improve the comparability of product capability evaluations, and provide foundational support for humanoid robots to move from technical verification to large-scale application. The vitality of standards lies in validation in real scenarios. Relying on the deployment practices of UBTECH's Walker S series in industrial scenarios such as automobile manufacturing, smart logistics, 3C electronics manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, aviation manufacturing, and industrial data collection, UBTECH continues to incorporate real-world needs such as workstation differences, operation rhythms, environmental disturbances, and multi-robot collaboration from frontline scenarios into standard development, building a virtuous closed loop of standard formulation, product iteration, and on-site verification. In the future, UBTECH will continue to build on its experience in humanoid robot technology R&D, industrial scenario applications, and standardization work, joining hands with upstream and downstream partners across the industrial chain as well as industry, academia, research, and application parties to promote the dissemination and application validation of these national standards, use standards to build industry consensus, and promote the continuous improvement of key humanoid robot technologies and large-scale deployment in industrial scenarios.
