On July 1, 2024, Ubixi Beijing and FAW-Volkswagen reached a cooperation, and the two sides will jointly explore the deep application of humanoid robots in industrial scenes in FAW-Volkswagen’s national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory in Qingdao, and create highly intelligent and flexible production lines and automotive super unmanned factories.

G122-829A001 In this cooperation, FAW-Volkswagen will open its “national intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Factory” production line application scenario in Qingdao to Youbixian, and introduce the industrial version of the humanoid robot Walker S to carry out bolt tightening, parts installation, parts transfer and other work in the automobile manufacturing process. Youbi will also invest resources in research and development of products and solutions that optimize the application of humanoid robots in industrial scenarios, help FAW-Volkswagen improve the intelligence and unmanned level of manufacturing plants, and create highly intelligent and flexible production lines and automotive super unmanned factories. In addition, the two sides will also cooperate in many fields such as industrial logistics robots and supply chains to help humanoid robot hardware reduce costs and jointly promote the development of new technologies and new industries.

Faw-volkswagen’s “National Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Plant” in Qingdao

Faw-volkswagen is one of the earliest joint venture automobile enterprises in China and one of the most successful joint venture brands in the Chinese automobile market. Its East China base located in Qingdao uses highly automated and intelligent flexible process equipment to efficiently complete the production process, and has been rated as “national intelligent manufacturing Demonstration Factory” by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The degree of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization ranks among the forefront in China. At present, FAW-Volkswagen East China base produces new Bora, new Audi A3 hatchback and hatchback, with a maximum daily output of more than 1400 units, and an average of one vehicle off the production line every 54 seconds, and the production efficiency reaches the top quarter of the global industry.

G122-829A001 As a leader in humanoid robots, Youbi has long persisted in the research and development of humanoid robots full-stack technology, and has persisted in exploring the landing application of humanoid robots in industrial manufacturing, commercial services and family companionship scenes, taking the lead in realizing the commercial application of humanoid robots, promoting the high-quality development of humanoid robot industry and cultivating new quality productivity. Since the beginning of this year, the company has focused on key areas of manufacturing such as automobiles and 3C, improved the ability of humanoid robot tool operation and task execution, created humanoid robot production lines and factories, and achieved deep application in typical manufacturing scenarios. At present, the industrial version of Walker S humanoid robot has entered the second advanced manufacturing base of NiO assembly workshop, Dongfeng Liuqi assembly workshop and other car factories for field “training”.

The cooperation will make full use of Youbi’s technical advantages in the field of humanoid robots and FAW-Volkswagen’s deep accumulation in the field of intelligent manufacturing, FAW-Volkswagen will further enhance its level of production automation and intelligence, and Youbi will be able to verify and apply its humanoid robot technology in a wider range of industrial scenarios. This cooperation means that the application of humanoid robots has crossed a new level in intelligence and scale, and will set a new benchmark for the entire automobile manufacturing industry and even the global intelligent manufacturing field, leading the development direction of the future industry.
