TIANJIN, China, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A pair of trailblazing humanoid robot developers, UBTECH and Unitree Robotics, have successively established presences in Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA), marking a landmark breakthrough in the zone's full industrial chain layout for embodied intelligence.
During the World Intelligence Expo 2026, Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. inked a strategic cooperation agreement with the Tianjin Municipal People's Government and TEDA. On June 22, Shenzhen UBTECH Robotics Co., Ltd., the Hong Kong-listed "first stock of humanoid robots," signed an investment deal to settle in TEDA. The company plans to build a northern smart manufacturing base for humanoid robots, an industrial innovation center, an operation & maintenance service hub and a secondary development platform within the zone. The project will enable large-scale local mass production of humanoid robots and form a complete closed loop covering R&D, manufacturing and after-sales maintenance.
