A $5.8 Billion Chinese robotics titan just proved Optimus is years behind
UBTECH, a HK-listed industry leader, just executed real-time whole-body dynamic tracking live at the World Robot Conference.
Why this ballroom dance demo changes everything:
Real-Time Force Control: The Walker S reads live tactile feedback and weight distribution to mirror human balance instantly.
Complex Spatial Sensing: Making micro-adjustments around a live partner in an unpredictable crowd requires low-latency VLA models.
Industrial Monetization: UBTECH is already generating millions by deploying humanoid workers directly into EV assembly lines like NIO and BYD.
Physical AI is no longer an experiment, it's an impending $38 trillion industrial market.
Today, we’re launching Tau’s humanoid cleaning service in San Francisco at $30 per hour.
Access is initially invite-only as we scale operations. If you don’t have an invite yet, join the waitlist at https://t.co/JrRpjIzRZv.
All footage is shown at 1× speed. Each humanoid is jointly controlled by a human operator and AI.
