BYD takes a significant step forward in the realm of humanoid robotics with the formal introduction of its innovative endeavour, kicking off a global search for talented individuals to join its Embodied Intelligence Analysis Team. The marketing campaign focuses on attracting top talent – Master’s and Doctoral graduates from esteemed global institutions, specifically those set to conclude their degrees in 2025. Baidu presents a range of senior engineering roles, including Senior Algorithm Engineer, Senior Structural Engineer, and Senior Simulation Engineer, with expertise in pioneering analysis for humanoid and bipedal robotics applications.
BYD’s Embodied Intelligence team leverages the company’s extensive experience in industrial scenarios to develop tailored robotic solutions that enhance their functionality. The group has already developed a range of advanced robotic products, including industrial, collaborative, mobile, and humanoid robots. To accelerate the widespread application of embodied intelligence in industry, BYD is committed to advancing its understanding of robotics and enhancing decision-making capabilities.
During BYD’s 30th-anniversary celebration, which also marked the milestone of producing its ten millionth new energy vehicle, Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu revealed plans to invest 100 billion yuan (approximately $13.73 billion) in AI-driven innovations that align with the company’s strategy of seamlessly integrating synthetic intelligence with automotive technologies. The primary objective of securing this funding is to achieve comprehensive advancements in automotive intelligence.
BYD’s initial investment in Ubtech Robotics has yielded a strategic partnership, with Ubtech’s advanced Walker S1 industrial humanoid robot now being deployed across BYD’s manufacturing facilities. At a height of 1.72 meters and weighing 76 kilograms, the Walker S1 robot is designed to operate efficiently in tandem with autonomous logistics vehicles and intelligent systems, its payload capacity standing at 15 kilograms. Marking a pivotal milestone in robotics, this collaboration successfully integrates humanoid robots with autonomous logistics vehicles, thereby facilitating the seamless transition towards massive, unmanned endeavors.
Ubtech, a leading humanoid robotics company, has forged partnerships with prominent automakers such as Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, Geely, FAW Hongqi, and Audi FAW, showcasing its Walker S series as the most extensively trained humanoid robots in automobile factories, securing over 500 pre-orders. The duties encompass a range of responsibilities, including conducting thorough inspections, ensuring the highest standards of quality, and determining the correct labels for use.
Ubtech, a pioneer in automotive robotics, has collaborated with industry giants Foxconn and SF Categorical to expand the applications of its robots in manufacturing settings.
