What UBTECH Robotics is known for
UBTECH Robotics is a robotics company founded in 2012 and publicly listed since December 2023. It describes itself as a humanoid and smart service robot company, and its range runs from industrial humanoids to consumer and education products.
For enterprise buyers, two families matter most:
- Walker humanoids: the Walker S series is UBTECH’s industrial humanoid line, developed for work in factories and logistics operations. Other Walker models are aimed at commercial and research use.
- Cruzr service robots: wheeled robots for reception, visitor guidance and information roles in lobbies, retail and public spaces.
Robotx focuses on the commercial and industrial end of the range. We don’t supply UBTECH’s consumer products.
Where UBTECH platforms fit for New Zealand organisations
Humanoid robots make most sense where a task is repetitive, the workstation was designed for a person, and changing the layout for fixed automation would be costly or disruptive. In New Zealand that could be moving parts or totes between stations in a factory, sorting at a distribution centre, or handling packed goods at the end of a food and beverage line, where hygiene requirements also need checking against the platform. Because the category is still maturing, we suggest starting with one well-defined task and clear measures, such as cycle time, error rate or hours freed up, before expanding.
Wheeled service robots suit busier public-facing spaces: a shopping centre concourse, an airport terminal information point or a corporate lobby. There the robot handles routine questions and directions, and staff deal with the enquiries that need judgement. If the robot uses cameras or microphones, your obligations under the Privacy Act 2020 are part of the scoping conversation.
How Robotx supplies and supports UBTECH
Every engagement starts with a consultation and site assessment. We review the task, floor conditions, network coverage, health and safety arrangements and how your staff will work alongside the robot. We then recommend a platform, or advise against one, in a written proposal.
If you proceed, Robotx supplies the equipment, configures it for your site, integrates with building systems where the platform supports it, and trains your team. After handover we provide technical support, servicing, parts coordination and warranty administration. You own and operate the equipment; we support it.

Who supplies UBTECH robots in New Zealand?
Robotx supplies UBTECH Robotics platforms to enterprise and commercial customers in New Zealand. We start with a consultation and site assessment, recommend the platform that fits the task, then handle supply, deployment, staff training and ongoing technical support. We work with several robotics manufacturers, so our advice isn't tied to one manufacturer.
Are UBTECH humanoid robots ready for commercial use?
Some are in commercial deployment, mainly in factory and logistics settings overseas, but humanoid robotics is still an early-stage category compared with delivery or cleaning robots. For a New Zealand manufacturer or distribution centre, we recommend starting with one clearly defined task in one area, measuring the result, and expanding from there. If a humanoid isn't the right tool, we will say so.
Do you provide service and parts for UBTECH robots in New Zealand?
Yes, for the UBTECH platforms Robotx supplies. We provide technical support, servicing and parts coordination, and administer warranty claims with the manufacturer. Parts for newer humanoid platforms may need to come from overseas, so we discuss how parts will be sourced, and how on-site support will work for your location, during scoping and before you commit.
How much does a UBTECH humanoid robot cost?
Pricing varies with the platform, configuration, integration work and support terms, so we don't publish a price list. After a consultation and site assessment, Robotx provides a written proposal that itemises equipment, deployment, training and support, which procurement and finance teams can use to compare options and approve the spend.
What health and safety duties apply to humanoid robots on New Zealand sites?
A robot working near people sits within your duties as a PCBU under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, which means managing the risk so far as is reasonably practicable and engaging with the workers affected. During scoping we look at the work area, separation from staff, speed and stop functions and your risk assessment. Involve your health and safety team from the first site visit.
