The advanced Chinese company UBTech Robotics has signed a major contract worth $37 million for the implementation of humanoid robots at border checkpoints in the Guangxi Autonomous Region. This is considered one of the largest examples of the use of anthropomorphic machines in Chinese state structures. Deliveries for facilities in areas bordering Vietnam will start in December.
The Self-Sustaining "Smart Assistant"
Walker S2 robots will be deployed within the scope of the project. This model was demonstrated in July and was presented as the first machine in the world capable of fully autonomously changing its battery. This innovative system allows for nearly 24 hours of operation without human intervention, as the robot swaps the battery in approximately three minutes.
These "smart assistants," stationed at border crossing points, will guide tourists, regulate the flow of people, assist in patrol work, and perform logistics tasks.
The Scope of Future Plans
UBTech intends to deliver 500 robots by the end of the year, increase production volume tenfold next year, and produce 10,000 units of robots annually by 2027. Border control is today becoming one of the key directions of China's artificial intelligence development strategy.
