Chinese firm UBTech is set to trial its humanoid robots in FAW-Volkswagen’s factory logistics operations and has partnered with Xiamen C&D for distribution; LDRobot has secured a network of 1,400 European resellers.

UBTech has also signed a strategic agreement with Xiamen C&D, a supply chain specialist listed in Shanghai, which should open up new markets (public exhibition halls, shopping malls, industrial parks) and provide leasing solutions, with an after-sales and international component.
