Historic collaboration! Ubiquitous Robotics' U1 sells out, domestic robots seize the trillion-dollar global market segment

On June 30th, the 2026 global launch event of iRobot kicked off grandly. The brand-new consumer-level bionic product line "UWORLD" made its debut, and three full-sized humanoid robot models of the U1 series were showcased together, covering all scenarios such as family emotional companionship, commercial services, and industrial operation and maintenance.

This press conference achieved a historic moment in the industry: The U1 Ultra ultra-bionic robot, as the representative of silicon-based life, performed the waltz together with a professional human dancer, completing the first dance between silicon-based life and carbon-based life in history. With 88 bionic joints, it accurately replicated the movements of a real person, and the rhythm and coordination of the body were highly consistent. It broke the technical barrier of human-machine interaction, vividly demonstrating the top-level motion control strength of China's embodied intelligence, and left an indelible impression on the audience and went viral across the internet.

The press conference simultaneously released key data: The U1 series has achieved a total pre-sale order of 13,361 units across all channels. Compared to the total sales volume of full-sized humanoid robots in 2025, which has soared by nearly 10 times, the product will be delivered to the market in batches in September. The product is equipped with an exclusive emotional large model, which can recognize more than twenty types of specific human emotions. It can balance both industrial high-precision operations and family companionship interactions, thus opening up a trillion-dollar market for human-machine symbiotic consumption.

From the perspective of the overall foreign trade situation, the wave of humanoid robots going global has fully erupted: In the first quarter of 2026, China's exports of humanoid robots increased by 210% year-on-year. Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia have become the core growth markets. Purchasing demands in all sectors such as industrial, commercial, cultural tourism, and elderly care have been concentratedly released. U-biqi has established cooperation in European markets such as Germany and Austria. Humanoid robots have entered large-scale retail and logistics centers in overseas regions, confirming that domestic intelligent robots possess global competitiveness.

However, despite the booming market, most robot manufacturers still encounter multiple obstacles when going global: the complex and cumbersome mandatory certification processes such as EU CE, ROHS, and RED; strict requirements for data security and electrical compliance; the scarcity of high-quality distributors and chain experience channels overseas, making offline precise connection extremely costly; the lack of complete cross-border logistics, overseas warehousing, and local after-sales support for large humanoid devices, resulting in many manufacturers being able to only handle scattered online inquiries and finding it difficult to establish a long-term and stable distribution network.

To seize the global benefits of humanoid robots, a one-stop economic and trade platform is needed to connect all links including channels, compliance, and policies. The 2026 China Brand Overseas Expo focuses on the fields of artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, and smart home, gathering global technology buyers, overseas integrators, and cultural tourism operators. It precisely matches the supply and demand of commercial, household, and industrial robots. On-site, it collaborates with third-party testing, cross-border logistics, and overseas tax and finance service providers to handle the multi-country product entry and certification procedures in one go. Leveraging the policy advantages of the Hainan Free Trade Port, such as a 15% corporate income tax rate and保税展示交易 (which allows for the display and trading of goods under customs supervision)， the overall cost of intelligent hardware for overseas sales is significantly reduced. This transforms the short-term product popularity into long-term global channel cooperation.

The era of coexistence of silicon-based and carbon-based systems has arrived. Embodied intelligence and humanoid robots are the most certain outbound business tracks in the next decade. From October 20th to 22nd, at the Hainan International Convention and Exhibition Center, the 2026 China Brand Outbound Expo will help domestic robot enterprises seize the opportunities in the global human-machine symbiosis market.

Registration for the exhibition is now open.

Welcome brand enterprises, service providers and purchasing institutions to join this grand event and jointly explore new channels for global growth!
