Zeekr, a new car company owned by Chinese automotive giant Geely, has outpaced Tesla in introducing humanoid robots in its production facility. The brand has started using the “Walker S Lite” robot, developed by Shezhen-based UBtech Robotics, in its Hangzhou Bay factory. This move comes just weeks after Elon Musk announced Tesla’s plans to begin low-volume production of its own humanoid robots, dubbed “Optimus”, by 2025. The Ubtech “Walker S Lite” robot, designed to mimic human movements, is shown in a recently released video performing tasks such as moving boxes and loading small pallets onto conveyors. The robot has been able to carry out these tasks continuously for 21 days, assisting workers with logistics and other basic duties.
