By UBTech Robotics · China · announced June 2026

UBTech's first consumer-facing humanoid of the new era, riding the Walker S2's industrial credibility toward the living room.

Broader research scope

This is a research record, not a curated recommendation.

The main field guide selects 14 companion robots for deeper review. This entry belongs to a separate 53-record index that also covers industrial, research, and developer systems.

Research summary

What the record says.

The Walker C1 surfaced in mid-2026 as UBTech's consumer-oriented humanoid, the C standing for exactly what you think. It borrows the Walker S2's engineering lineage, the industrial sibling in mass delivery since late 2025, and points it at companionship and household roles.

Details remain thin: no published price, no order channel and no delivery date. UBTech's humanoid revenue and 10,000-unit 2026 delivery target are anchored by industrial and enterprise sales; the C1 is the company's stated bet that the consumer market comes next.

Until specifications and a sales channel appear, the C1 sits at public-demonstration status, and its profile here will grow as facts do.
