Why us
Why we partner with UBTech
01
46,000+ classroom deployments
More UBTech robots are in K-12 classrooms than nearly any other humanoid manufacturer. The curriculum ecosystem, teacher training, and student familiarity make UBTech the safe educational choice.
02
From Alpha to Walker, a real career ladder
A student can start with Alpha in elementary, progress to Yanshee in middle school, work with Cruzr in university, and research on Walker. One brand, complete K-PhD pathway.
03
Cruzr is the right service humanoid for retail
Cruzr handles facial recognition, NLP, and autonomous navigation at a more accessible price than Pepper, with a more modern UX. Several US retail chains run Cruzr fleets.

Questions & answers
Long-form Q&A: deploying UBTech in production
Real questions from K-12 districts, universities, and retail customers running UBTech.
-
What can Cruzr actually do in a luxury retail store?
Greeter, product info kiosk, queue assistant, brand spectacle. Cruzr does facial recognition for returning VIPs (with consent), product Q&A, store navigation, and runs branded video loops. Soft ROI is foot traffic and social engagement; hard ROI is reduced concierge labor.
-
How does Yanshee compare to NAO for classroom use?
NAO has the larger research ecosystem; Yanshee has a much better dollar (about 15% of NAO’s price). For most K-12 STEM, Yanshee is the right choice. For research-feeding programs, NAO is still worth the extra cost.
-
Is the Walker humanoid actually deployable for service work?
Today: research and high-end demonstration. Walker is closer to deployable than most full-size humanoids, but real service work for full-size bipedal humanoids is still 2-3 years out across the industry.
-
Can Cruzr work in healthcare without HIPAA issues?
Yes, with the Health Monitoring configuration. RobotLAB handles BAA, encrypted data paths, and on-device processing where required. Multiple US senior living operators run it for vitals checks and resident engagement.
-
What languages does Cruzr support?
20+ including English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean. Voice training can add a custom accent or brand vocabulary.
-
How does Cruzr handle facial recognition privacy?
Opt-in only. Faces are processed on-device and matched against a customer-provided database. No cloud upload by default. Configurable for jurisdiction-specific privacy laws.
-
Is the Walker SDK actually open?
Yes for Academic Edition customers. Full ROS integration, motion control API, and perception stack access. Used by several PhD-granting robotics programs.
-
What is the typical Yanshee classroom configuration?
One Yanshee per 4-6 students, plus Engage K12 curriculum and teacher training. A 30-student class typically gets 5-6 robots.
-
How rugged is Cruzr for daily retail use?
Designed for 8-12 hours of daily operation. Service intervals are quarterly. Some early retail deployments have logged 4,000+ hours without major issues.
-
Will UBTech still exist in five years?
Yes. UBTech is Hong Kong-listed (HKEX: 9880), publicly audited, and one of the largest humanoid manufacturers globally. RobotLAB monitors vendor risk regardless and stocks critical spares.
