China has taken another step toward the mass commercialization of humanoid robots with the opening of a large new manufacturing facility in Liuzhou, Guangxi. On September 12, 2026, UBTECH Robotics formally placed its new ‘Super Smart Factory’ into operation, creating a production facility designed to manufacture more than 10,000 robots annually.

The factory is operated by UBTECH Robotics, a Shenzhen-based robotics company founded in 2012 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Liuzhou has become an important manufacturing base for the company, while funds controlled by the Liuzhou government have also invested in UBTECH and the surrounding robotics industry. The new plant, located in Liuzhou’s Northern District, is intended to serve as one of UBTECH’s principal manufacturing centers for embodied AI robots.

The opening demonstrates that humanoid robotics is beginning to move beyond demonstrations and toward industrial-scale manufacturing. According to Chinese reports, the facility can produce approximately one robot every ten minutes when operating at its designed production rate. Its planned annual capacity exceeds 10,000 units, making UBTECH one of the first companies attempting humanoid-robot manufacturing on this scale…

Robotics stocks are having a pivotal moment.

A recent robotics IPO was oversubscribed 8,000X, and nuts and bolts flew in celebration.

And it’s no flash in the pan. Experts say the frenzy could reprice robotics stocks everywhere. 

Meanwhile, everyday investors like you found a different way into this boom: a private-stage company named Miso Robotics. 

Miso's Flippy Fry Station robot was already boosting profits up to 4x for restaurant brands like White Castle. That led industry powerhouse Ecolab to invest in Miso’s growth. 

Now, after two major acquisitions in 2026, Flippy is the star of Miso’s expanding ecosystem that’s becoming a new operating system for modern restaurants.*

This year alone, Miso added big-name customers like Jersey Mike’s and Cinnabon, grew their patent portfolio by ~10X to over 300. They even expanded beyond restaurants, entering college campuses and NBA arenas.

People have already made 44k+ investments into Miso so far. Now’s your chance to claim your own stake in the robot boom.

But hurry. Invest in Miso at $5.48/share before the price changes on September 17.

The factory primarily produces robots in UBTECH’s Walker S and Cruzr families. The robots themselves can perform some factory tasks, including material handling, palletizing, transportation, and production support, an early example of the frequently discussed concept of using ‘robots to build robots.’

The likely customers are initially businesses rather than households. UBTECH has concentrated heavily on industrial applications, particularly automobile factories, logistics centers, and other manufacturing operations. Its Walker robots have already been tested or deployed with companies including electric carmakers BYD, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, Geely, Volkswagen, Audi, and Foxconn. Applications include moving materials, delivering components to production lines, inspecting products, and cooperating with conventional industrial robots and automated vehicles.

The automobile industry could prove especially important for the emerging humanoid robotics industry. Unlike conventional industrial robots, which are usually bolted into one location and programmed to perform a limited operation, humanoid robots are designed to work in environments originally built for humans. They can potentially walk between workstations, manipulate tools and objects, and perform several different assignments without factories having to completely redesign their production lines.

That flexibility helps explain why the Liuzhou factory is significant. Humanoid robotics has historically faced a commercialization problem: impressive prototypes could walk, run, or manipulate objects, but producing thousands of reliable machines at an affordable cost was much harder. Mass manufacturing could reduce component prices, standardize designs, and provide manufacturers with enormous amounts of operating data that can be used to improve robot AI.

Liuzhou is a major Chinese manufacturing center with automobile, machinery, and industrial companies capable of deploying robots directly into working factories. From this location, UBTECH can manufacture robots, place them with industrial customers, collect performance data, and quickly incorporate what it learns into newer machines.

The Liuzhou plant is an experiment in whether humanoid robots can become a genuine mass-market industrial product. If UBTECH can sell and deploy robots at anything approaching the factory’s 10,000-plus annual capacity, 2026 may be remembered as one of the years humanoid robotics began moving from the laboratory into the everyday industrial economy.
