MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In 2025, the global artificial intelligence sector showed a trend of multi-point breakthroughs on core technologies. Key advancements, particularly in Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI, and Embodied Intelligence, are propelling the sector into a new era. Currently, AI technologies are transitioning from the digital realm to the physical world. As a pivotal technology in this shift, Embodied Intelligence deeply integrates AI into physical entities, such as embodied intelligent humanoid robots, endowing them with the ability to autonomously perceive, learn, and interact with their environment in real time. UBTECH continues to ramp up investment in embodied intelligent humanoid robot R&D, with a steadfast focus on industrial applications. We have successively launched the industrial versions of embodied intelligent humanoid robots, Walker S, Walker S1 and Walker S2 (as an embodied intelligence carrier, the Walker S series is designed and iterated to address real-world industrial application needs; in 2025, the Walker S2 series started mass production and delivery officially, and entered a new stage of large-scale scenario application). UBTECH remains committed to advancing key technologies, including the “humanoid brain”, “humanoid cerebellum”, and “high-performance limbs”. These technologies encompass core artificial intelligence technologies such as high-performance servo drive technology, large model technology, semantic VSLAM technology, learning-based motion control technology, visual perception technology, and multimodal interaction technology. The integration of our BrainNet 2.0 with Co-Agent technology establishes an “AI dual-cycle” for industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robots, enabling a spiral evolution of individual robot autonomy and group collaboration. Our full-stack technological advancements enable embodied intelligent humanoid robots to achieve superior task planning, dexterous manipulation, navigation and mobility, and human-computer interaction capabilities. Additionally, UBTECH has pioneered an embodied intelligent humanoid robot application paradigm for multi-tasking environments, and conducted the world’s first field trial for the multi-robot, multi-scenario, and multi-task group intelligence. In the meantime, UBTECH has spearheaded the development and establishment of multiple national standards in the field of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence. Serving as the deputy head of the Humanoid Robot Standards Working Group of the National Robotics Standardization Committee, co-leader of the Embodied Intelligence Working Group of the National AI Standardization Subcommittee, and member of the Standardization Committee for Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence/co-leader of the Working Group on Complete Robots and Systems under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, UBTECH continued to guide the industry, including spearheading the development of key standards such as the Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots – Part 5: Operational Tasks and Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots – Part 6: Positioning and Navigation, and jointly leading the development of Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots – Part 7: Human-Computer Interaction within the first batch of national standards for humanoid robots.

The field trials for the Walker S series entered the new stage of group intelligence, where multiple robots collaboratively executed production-line-level tasks, linking together a series of workstation tasks such as workbin handling, SPS sorting, parts assembly, process material handling, and quality inspection. As at the end of 2025, UBTECH achieved an annualized production capacity of over 6,000 full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robots, and continued to lead the global embodied intelligent humanoid robot industry in terms of order volume, covering key fields such as automotive manufacturing, smart manufacturing, smart logistics, and embodied intelligent datacenters, marking the official transition of embodied intelligent humanoid robots from field trial to commercial application.
A. Robotic Technologies
At the complete robot level, we released the third-generation industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robot, Walker S2, with the innovatively developed hot-swappable, autonomous battery-changing system. This system redefines the energy management paradigm for embodied intelligent humanoid robots with its 3-minute autonomous battery swap and 24-hour continuous operation capabilities. The bionic torso, featuring 52 degrees of freedom (DoF), is capable of performing high-difficulty maneuvers across a full spatial range of 0 to 1.8 meters, including stable load handling of up to 15 kg, flexible floor-reaching actions, extreme squatting, long-distance grasping, and flexible lumbar rotation with a range of ±162°. We released the wheeled humanoid robot Cruzr S2, featuring a waist-fold mechanism design that enables handling of 15kg payloads across a full spatial range of 0-1.8 meter, with zero-radius rotation in narrow aisles as compact as 0.8 meter and a rotation angle of ±170°. On the dexterous hand level, we released the fourth- and fifth-generation dexterous hands. In particular, the fourth-generation dexterous hand, with the aid of an 11-DoF structure and a worm gear transmission mechanism, can output a fingertip payload capacity of 12.5N, achieving sub-millimeter-level fine operations. The additional active thumb DoFs enable the dexterous hand to achieve flattening and pinching gestures, improving operational flexibility significantly. The fifth-generation dexterous hand has 19 fully-driven active rotational DoFs, and tactile and visual multimodal sensors, which can adapt to more complex industrial scenarios. At the bottom domain control level of humanoid robots, we have explored and developed a domain control solution that combines the brain and cerebellum of humanoid robots, further improving the integration of their electronic systems. Based on the application practice of the Walker S series in diverse industrial scenarios, we have developed atomic and combinatorial capabilities for humanoid robots, introduced control center nodes innovatively, and achieved efficient reconstruction at the application system level. We are also developing and refining a series of software infrastructure platforms, including an embodied intelligent humanoid robot management cloud platform, a data management platform, a robot training platform, and a simulation management platform, to support evolution toward multi-robot collaboration and group intelligence.

In 2025, we improved the preventive design system for humanoid robots, optimized the manufacturing process, strengthened module and complete robot testing, and tackled quality and delivery challenges in the mass production of full-size humanoid robots. The 1,000-unit-level small-scale mass production and delivery of the Walker S2 marks the maturity and stability of our manufacturing process.
In addition, we have integrated well-developed technologies accumulated through the Walker S series to start the R&D of new-generation full-size humanoid robots for the general commerce and education markets, focusing on functional aesthetic design, highly dynamic motion control, multimodal interactions, and open-source ecology building, etc.
B. AI Technologies
For embodied intelligent humanoid robot group collaboration scenarios, we have iterated and upgraded BrainNet 2.0. It comes with our proprietary Co-Agent used specifically for industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robots, which establishes an "AI dual-cycle" for industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robots, and promotes the evolution of industrial scenario applications for embodied intelligent humanoid robots toward refined collaboration. We have independently developed a foundation embodied intelligence large model, Thinker, with hundreds of billions of parameters, and established a "refining and purification" pipeline for multimodal data. By adopting a strategy of "large model-assisted annotation + multi-model cross-validation", we have achieved end-to-end automated annotation for tasks such as visual scene segmentation, action sequence classification, and instruction intention parsing. Moreover, we have created a data backflow mechanism innovatively, and fed back continuous model evaluation through real-scenario data. We have developed a visual language action model (Thinker-VLA) with closed-loop feedback, achieving millimeter-level precision for loading, generalized grasping, and dual-arm collaborative work bin handling. We have built an AI model generation pipeline, forming an infinite data loop starting from the base large model, and passing through business model optimization, distillation, and quantitative deployment sequentially for lightweight implementation, and then through data governance and difficult case mining, thereby feeding high-quality data back to the base large model, and achieving the continuous iteration and efficient implementation of AI models.
We have made our Thinker visual language base large model for embodied intelligence open-sourced officially with focus on "small parameters, high performance and full open source" to address the core pain points in the transition of humanoid robots from the laboratory to industrial scenarios – spatial measurement inaccuracy and time response delay, providing industrial humanoid robots with fast response and accurate spatial
perception capabilities, and their BrainNet and Co-Agent with cognitive and decision-making support. Currently, the model weight, training toolchain and application cases have been fully open-sourced to boost the industry's technology iteration and popularization.
We have independently developed Thinker-WM, a world model for industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robots. As one of the core foundations of the dual-cycle embodied AI system, it provides comprehensive spatiotemporal modeling of the physical world, long-sequence dynamic prediction, and closed-loop decision-making support for both single-robot operation and multi-robot collaboration scenarios of industrial humanoid robots. Built upon Thinker, a vision-language foundation large model, Thinker-WM establishes core capabilities in multimodal 4D spatiotemporal modeling. By integrating multi-source industrial scene data including vision and proprioceptive sensing, it enables millimeter-precise spatial state perception, causal prediction of long-horizon action sequences, and real-time forecasting of dynamic environmental disturbances. This delivers robust environmental perception and proactive decision-making capabilities for high-precision loading and unloading, generalized grasping, dual-arm collaboration, and multi-robot coordinated operations.
We are building and operating humanoid robot data collection and testing centers in multiple locations, and establishing a one-stop embodied intelligence data collection platform. Through data flywheels, we create a virtuous cycle of "more data - better models - wider applications - even more data", strengthening our core competitiveness and accelerating the deployment of robots in industrial and commercial settings.
C. Integrated Robotic and AI Technologies
1. Integration of Positioning, Navigation, and AI
We keep iterating multi-camera semantic VSLAM technology and have built an infinite-loop link for feature extraction and matching based on the real-machine data backflow self-supervision model, achieving spatial understanding and spatial memory functions such as multi-camera semantic processing VSLAM, autonomous map updating, generalized Landmark mapping, and DSG multi-layer semantic mapping, improving the stability of localization and mapping in real industrial scenarios comprehensively, and elevating computational efficiency while reducing the occupancy of computing resources significantly. Multi-sensor fusion semantic laser USLAM solves common scenario degradation problems such as large scenarios and high dynamics, achieving significant improvement in scenario range, accuracy and stability, and supporting the practical application of wheeled humanoid robots in industrial scenarios. We have developed an omnidirectional navigation model for embodied intelligent humanoid robots that supports new capabilities such as efficient backward movement, narrow channel lateral
movement, and close range obstacle stopping. In terms of 3D spatial perception, we have developed a multimodal and multi-task OD/OCC perception model for humanoid robots independently. By producing high-quality data through a 4D true value system, we have achieved 360-degree look-around spatial perception. We have built an end-to-end navigation simulation training system based on reinforcement learning using ISAAC simulation and self-developed handheld data acquisition devices.
L4 autonomous logistics vehicles have been deployed in multiple industrial parks, and achieved normalized operation on the premise of meeting customers' operational efficiency demand. By leveraging massive data and improving perception models, and optimizing online localization and mapping algorithms with semantic information continuously, we have iterated our multi-lane navigation framework, including integrated driving-parking task decision-making capabilities, scenario-based decision-making capabilities, behavioral intent decision-making capabilities, dynamic obstacle prediction capabilities, dynamic obstacle response capabilities, and lane keeping cruise capabilities. This has strengthened the safety, stability, and operational efficiency of our L4 autonomous logistics vehicles in complex scenarios, laying a foundation for the expansion of autonomous logistics from industrial parks to airports and open roads.
2. Integration of Machine Vision and AI Technologies
We have developed leading purely binocular vision technology independently, whose accuracy exceeds that of RGBD cameras, enabling the binocular vision of embodied intelligent humanoid robots to achieve "human eye like" perception, and has been applied to delivery in multiple scenarios. In terms of technology implementation, we have developed an industry-leading passive binocular vision system that uses a deep learning-based binocular depth estimation algorithm to generate high-precision dense depth maps in real time from dual RGB images, providing embodied intelligent humanoid robots with stereo vision perception comparable to human eyes. In terms of technological and functional progress, machine learning technology is used to perform geometric imaging tasks, fully leveraging the scaling law to expand the upper limit of perception, and allowing robots to "see more accurately"; structured light dotting is replaced with RGB pixels to improve the imaging resolution, allowing robots to "see more finely"; the large model is inputted directly into both eyes to create a native spatial intelligence end-to-end large model, allowing robots to "see and think together". To meet the demand of navigation and manipulation scenarios, we have integrated lightweight model design, a high-precision knowledge distillation framework, and Gaussian-probability-based supervised training innovatively. Combined with our proprietary high-precision data acquisition equipment and multi-scenario datasets, we have
- 6 -
achieved industry-leading performance in computational power, precision (submillimeter level), and generalization, providing core support for the robot's precise perception and interaction.
We have built a generative pipeline for objects and scenario assets in the simulation platform, which has two generation capabilities – automated generation and 3DGS reconstruction. To date, it has generated tens of thousands of proprietary digital object assets, solving the problem of insufficient asset quantity and generalization. In addition, we have built a data generation pipeline to solve the problem of insufficient generalization in data generation, designed simulation schemes such as normal light, excessive darkness, overexposure, motion blurring, randomly placed objects, and random motions of objects, and generated ten-million-class high-value training data in total. We use data generated by the simulation platform to solve the problem of high annotation costs for real data, design technical solutions for mixed training using simulation data + real data, and build a few shot deployable visual perception capability for industrial scenarios alongside difficult case mining, achieving a positioning accuracy of millimeter at an accuracy of 99.5% in various lighting changing/stack scenarios.
3. Integration of Motion Control and AI Technologies
To address the demand for dual-arm dexterous manipulation and high-performance bipedal mobility, we have developed learning-based motion control technologies utilizing imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and generative models. In dexterous manipulation, we have optimized our model-based grasping gesture generation and screening mechanism comprehensively, achieving the continuous and stable grasping of items in work bins. By combining data from model-based grasp generation with manually collected data, we have built the VLA dexterous hand operation model oriented to object generalization, and further enhanced the model's generalization and adaptation to unknown objects by expanding the object dataset using 3D object generation models. In addition, we have applied the capture generation and VLA models to the sorting of complex out-of-order stack materials in industrial SPS and logistics sorting scenarios. In terms of full-body motion control, we have optimized and improved the data-driven hierarchical reinforcement learning framework, achieving multi-source full-body motion data acquisition methods such as motion capture and video extraction, as well as the instant redirection algorithm, and trained trajectory tracking models, achieving high-speed humanoid walking, and full-height dynamic performances such as running, boxing and dancing. In the meantime, a high-level control strategy that integrates complex terrain and interactive information perception is designed to achieve stable robot movements in going upstairs and downstairs, and playing tennis, improving robots' motion performance and adaptability in external

industrial manufacturing scenarios. In addition, the Company has actively invested in the research and development of world models and has built the world model Thinker-WM. In 2025, the Company underwent a profound transformation from laboratory parameter competitions to commercial deployment, and full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robots broke through the bottleneck of generalization capabilities at an unprecedented pace.
In 2025, full-size embodied intelligent humanoid robot products and services for all scenarios achieved revenue of approximately RMB820 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 2,203.7%; and achieved sales volume of 1,079 units, representing a year-on-year increase of 35,866.7%.
This year, our industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robots underwent “on-the-job” training day after day in real industrial manufacturing scenarios. We focused on three core workstations – handling, sorting and quality inspection – starting from customers’ most pressing needs to address key issues at such workstations, including high staff turnover, difficulties in management and highly repetitive work. At present, empowered by the Thinker embodied intelligence base large model (mimicking the human brain), our embodied intelligent humanoid robot Walker S2 has gradually become capable of taking over specific job tasks previously performed by humans. For handling roles in industrial manufacturing scenarios, our embodied intelligent humanoid robot Walker S2 features autonomous decision-making capabilities for depalletizing and palletizing tasks, full-body coordinated control enabling handling coverage for high-, mid- and low-level totes, as well as autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities in confined areas, thereby enabling the robot to tackle the challenge of densely arranged tote handling across multiple layers and columns; for sorting roles in industrial manufacturing scenarios, by accumulating dexterous-manipulation data from both real-robot and simulation environments, our embodied intelligent humanoid robot Walker S2 has developed the capability to grasp stacked materials in constrained environments and to manipulate flexible materials, enabling the completion of complex tasks such as flow-rack sorting in automotive plants and stripping soft protective sleeves from engineering bolts. For quality inspection roles in industrial manufacturing scenarios, our embodied intelligent humanoid robot Walker S2 offers two representative categories of inspection capabilities – vision-based and operation-based – enabling a wide range of inspection types such as SPS kit completeness inspection, charging-gun plug-in/plug-out inspection and air-conditioning leak detection inspection, and is integrated with production and manufacturing systems to achieve timely closed-loop quality data. More importantly, by leveraging over 100 million pieces of industrial manufacturing scenario data accumulated by our embodied intelligent humanoid robots on real production lines to drive iterative technology upgrades, we have enabled robots to evolve from single-robot intelligence to collective intelligence, allowing robot fleets to collaborate like teams of workers and truly become a “never-stopping” new quality productive force.
- 10 -
This year, in addition to industrial manufacturing applications, we enabled our embodied intelligent humanoid robots to reshape a new ecosystem for education and scientific research. We entered universities and became teaching and research platforms for higher education institutions, and, by establishing embodied intelligence industry colleges as well as data collection and training grounds, we cultivated a large pool of embodied intelligence talent for the industry, enabling developers to build on our capabilities and explore the infinite possibilities of embodied intelligence; we also enabled embodied intelligent humanoid robots to address the challenge of flexible handling. In response to the stringent requirements for efficiency and accuracy in logistics and warehousing, our bipedal humanoid robots and wheeled dual-arm robots, through an integrated “Hardware + Software + Services + Operations” model, completed basic tasks such as sorting and handling in real-world scenarios. Through the embodied intelligent humanoid robot training grounds we deployed in Wuxi and other locations, by collecting and replaying massive volumes of high-quality real-robot data, our embodied intelligent humanoid robots completed “pre-job practical training” prior to taking up their posts, significantly shortening the cycle from deployment to stable value creation; we further enabled embodied intelligent humanoid robots to open a new chapter in commercial customization. From smart commercial service models featuring deep integration of “Technology + Humanities”, to guided-tour services under “Embodied Intelligence + Cultural Tourism”, our robots, as the “Guide Ambassador” of the China Pavilion, successfully completed reception duties at the Osaka World Expo, serving over 1.9 million visitors worldwide. Our embodied intelligent humanoid robot Walker S2, at the opening ceremony of the National Games, served as an opening guest and performed on a millennium-old bronze jüding excavated from a Vietnamese royal tomb. We continue to expand into promising vertical-industry applications and to form replicable standardized solutions. Commercial embodied intelligent humanoid robots, leveraging outstanding environmental adaptability, have gradually become a key option for many leading enterprises to address practical scenario applications, truly delivering on the commercial value of “robots replacing humans”.

Future Outlook
UBTECH has been adopting embodied intelligent humanoid robots and AI as the core strategy, focusing strategically on the research and development of embodied intelligence technology and its commercial application, and working hard on the breakthrough towards the commercialization of embodied intelligent humanoid robot technology and AI technology, committed to expanding the reach of embodied intelligent humanoid robots from industrial and commercial applications to every household. Specifically, we will focus on the following areas:
- Embodied Intelligent Humanoid Robots
We will continue to invest in the R&D and mass production of new models of the Walker S series of industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robots. We will continuously introduce new materials and processes to improve the lightweight and integration level of the complete machine, deeply iterate the generalization and stability of autonomous operation algorithms, and consolidate our leading advantages in the industrial sector. Meanwhile, we will launch a new generation of more intelligent, user-friendly and open commercial and educational versions of embodied intelligent humanoid robots, targeting commercial scenarios such as commercial guidance and reception, corporate image display, and interactive event performances, as well as educational scenarios including university scientific research, system integration development, and AI teaching assistance. We will deeply iterate on the full-stack technology of humanoid robots, make breakthroughs in key embodied intelligence technologies including integrated joints, bionic five-fingered dexterous hands, BrainNet architecture, Co-Agent,
foundation large models, world models, learning-based motion control, spatial intelligence, and the ROSA system, and promote the “platformization” of common technologies. Through strategic technical planning and key breakthroughs, we will fully support the synergistic evolution of hardware, software, and services. We aim to continuously enhance the lightweight design, integration level, system stability, swarm coordination, and individual autonomy of embodied intelligent humanoid robots. This will enable deep coordination between robots and their surroundings, providing stable, reliable, safe, and practical services across diverse industrial, commercial, and educational scenarios. We are committed to accelerating the large-scale implementation of embodied intelligence technologies and products, comprehensively elevating the levels of intelligence and flexibility in related fields. Furthermore, we will build a robot developer community and an open robot ecosystem platform, attracting more partners to join the robotic ecosystem and accelerating the “breakthrough” of embodied intelligent humanoid robots from single-scenario applications to multi-scenario integration.
2. Industrial Vertical Domain Embodied Intelligence Dataset
We will rely on the multiple national multimodal data collection and testing centers for humanoid robots that we construct and operate to accumulate diverse and high-quality training data for industrial scenarios. We expect to collect more than ten million pieces of industry-scarce data annually. In terms of data collection scenario design, we will focus on typical industrial scenarios with large-scale application potential for humanoid robots, such as handling, sorting, and loading/unloading, while also covering typical commercial scenarios, providing sufficient data “fuel” to achieve “breakthroughs” in these scenarios. The scope of data collection includes not only basic actions such as grasping, placing, and alignment, but also extended long-range complex tasks. Furthermore, based on real-robot teleoperation data collection, we will deploy ontology-free data collection solutions and use world models to continuously generate high-quality simulation data, expanding the sources of embodied intelligence data through multiple routes.

Multi-modal Perception and Large Model Technology
Driven by the high-dimensional decision-making demands in complex production line tasks, we will continue to iterate a large multi-modal reasoning model for humanoid robots, which, as the core engine of the super cerebrum, will promote the continuous self-evolution of the BrainNet architecture and Co-Agent and unleash the outburst of collective intelligence. The multi-modal reasoning model of UBTECH humanoid robots will be trained and improved based on hundreds of millions of high-quality industrial data sets accumulated by the Walker S series, quickly training professional work types based on RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) technology. Consequently, the decision-making and generalization capabilities of robots across various workstations will be significantly improved, providing strong support for the large-scale application of embodied intelligent humanoid robots in industrial scenarios. We will explore and develop high-performance, production-grade perception solutions. The core of this effort is to transform laboratory perception algorithms into standardized capabilities suitable for large-scale production and stable delivery. Through multi-modal data reconstruction, performance consistency assurance, and a verifiable delivery system, we will support the stable mass production and rapid iteration of products such as robots and autonomous driving systems in complex scenarios.
- Embodied Intelligence Decision-Making Technologies
For the scenario of embodied intelligent humanoid robots collaborating in groups, we will continue our investment in the development of group intelligence technology for embodied intelligent humanoid robots to iterate BrainNet architecture. This architecture integrates reasoning nodes and skill nodes, flexibly connected via edge-cloud collaboration, and establishes a collaborative system between the cloud-based super brain and the edge-side intelligent cerebellum. We aim to strengthen the global high-dimensional decision-making capabilities of the super brain based on multi-modal embodied inference large models, while strengthening the reasoning capabilities of the super cerebrum and the skill supply abilities of the intelligent cerebellum. This will improve the cloud-based AI system's efficiency in dynamic task decomposition, multi-robot intelligent scheduling, and global resource optimization for production-line-level tasks. Furthermore, through multi-modal stereoscopic vision perception, dynamic path planning, and collaborative decision-making, typical industrial operations can be implemented, such as autonomous depalletizing and autonomous shelving, increasing the success rate of task planning and accumulating more industrial scenario datasets and multi-scale models. We will continuously
iterate the industrial embodied intelligent humanoid robot Co-Agent, enhancing its “spontaneous behaviour chain” capability to empower robots with intent understanding, task planning, tool invocation, and autonomous exception handling. By improving the closed-loop system of “active perception – active reasoning – active action” for diverse tasks, we aim to advance embodied intelligent humanoid robots to a new level of “autonomous perception” from “passive execution”, supporting the implementation of large-scale cluster operations and flexible production in industrial scenarios. We will deeply integrate Thinker-WM, the Thinker-VLA vision-language-action model, and the embodied navigation system to form a more reliable intelligent closed loop: “simulation pre-training – real-machine validation – data backflow – model iteration”.
5. End-to-End Motion Control Technology
Building on our end-to-end learning-based motion control technologies, we will continue to make breakthroughs in the research and development of task-oriented full-body motion control and dexterous manipulation technologies. This aims to meet the highly generalized operational demands of complex tasks such as handling, loading/unloading, stacking, and sorting, as well as human-robot collaboration. In the direction of full-body motion generation and control, we will expand diverse full-body motion datasets and construct a universal full-body trajectory tracking model to support a wide range of mobile manipulation tasks. We will develop a full-body trajectory generator capable of receiving upper-level commands and environmental information to achieve real-time dynamic motion generation and tracking, leveraging hybrid force/position control at the end-effectors to expand implementation in industrial scenarios. In the direction of industrial handling, we will integrate reinforcement learning to improve handling speed and success rates, training highly efficient handling methods and motion trajectories to achieve autonomous depalletizing and palletizing decision-making with enhanced stability and efficiency. In the direction of palletizing/depalletizing skills, starting with the handling of bins of different sizes, heights, and weights, we will utilize omnidirectional force control to achieve broader and more universal palletizing modes. In the direction of industrial loading and unloading, we will combine traditional model-based control with reinforcement learning to improve the success rate and efficiency of peg-in-hole operations, driving the deployment of loading and unloading models. Simultaneously, we will utilize large-scale teleoperation data and simulated synthetic data to train VLA-RL models, enabling automated material grasping and sorting across the industrial and logistics sectors.

Embodied Navigation and the Autonomous Driving Technology for L4 Level Driverless Vehicles
Embodied navigation technology will target the commercial implementation of bipedal and wheeled humanoid robots and their large-scale industrial application as its core objectives, focusing on three key areas for intensive iteration: multi-scenario adaptation, high-robustness operation, and cross-platform compatibility. By deeply integrating core capabilities such as 3D perception, spatio-temporal memory models, multi-sensor fusion, and 3D cross-terrain spatial planning, we aim to bridge the upstream and downstream technical chains. This will enable an end-to-end closed loop of "perception-decision-action-feedback" for robots in complex environments. We will strengthen the precise prediction of dynamic obstacles and self-adaptive response, significantly enhancing the operational adaptability of robots in unstructured scenarios. Leveraging large model technology and integrating reinforcement learning, imitation learning, simulation training systems, and real-machine operational data feedback mechanisms, we will continuously optimize model generalization. This will result in a standardized and reusable technical solution, achieving production-grade deployment of this technology in scenarios such as commercial complexes, industrial parks, and industrial production lines.
Focusing on the multi-dimensional spatial intelligence upgrade, we will continue to advance cutting-edge autonomous driving technologies, including spatial memory, spatial perception and spatial cognition & interaction. We aim to consistently enhance capabilities in unknown obstacle detection, task decision-making, scenario decision-making, driving task behavioural intent decision-making, dynamic obstacle response, and lane cruising. By integrating game decision-making control with end-to-end technologies, we will comprehensively enhance the autonomous driving safety, stability, and operational efficiency of autonomous vehicles in complicated environments, so that the technology will be rolled out in more scenarios in the park to accelerate the expansion and implementation from parks to open roads.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 30.2% (81.2% as of December 31, 2024) of the Group’s bank balances and cash was denominated in RMB and 69.6% (5.0% as of December 31, 2024) was denominated in United States Dollars, which mainly represented the proceeds from the placing of new H Shares under the General Mandate. The remaining 0.2% (13.8% as of December 31, 2024) was denominated in HKD, Euros, Singapore Dollars, Pounds or Japanese Yen. The Group continues to adopt a conservative approach in its foreign exchange exposure management. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group did not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Group reviews its foreign exchange risks periodically and uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against such risks when necessary.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OTHER INFORMATION
Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code
The Company recognises the importance of good corporate governance for enhancing the management of the Company as well as preserving the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. The Company has adopted corporate governance practices based on the principles and code provisions as set out in the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") set out in Appendix C1 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") as its own code of corporate governance practices.
The Board is of the view that during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has complied with all the applicable code provisions as set out in the CG Code, except for Code Provision C.2.1 as disclosed below. The Board will continue to review and monitor the code of corporate governance practices of the Company with an aim to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance.
Pursuant to Code Provision C.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr. Zhou Jian is both the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company. Since establishment of our Group in 2012, Mr. Zhou has been a key leadership figure of our Group and has been deeply involved in the formulation of business strategies for and the determination of the overall direction of our Group. Taking into account the continuation of management and the implementation of our business strategies, our Directors (including our independent non-executive Directors) consider that it would be most suitable for Mr. Zhou to hold both the positions of chief executive officer and the chairman of the Board, and that the existing arrangements are beneficial to the management of our Group and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The balance of power and authority is ensured by the operation of the senior management and our Board, both of which comprises experienced and high-calibre individuals. Our Board comprises four executive Directors (including Mr. Zhou), three non-executive Directors and four independent non-executive Directors, and therefore has a strong independence element in its composition.
In light of the above, the Board considers that the deviation from Code Provision C.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in the circumstances of the Company. The Board will continue to review the current structure from time to time and consider the appropriate move to take when appropriate.
Compliance with the Model Code
The Company has adopted the Model Code as set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules as its code of conduct regarding dealings in the securities of the Company by the Directors and the supervisors of the Company (the “Supervisors”), and the Group’s employees who, because of his/her office or employment, are likely to possess inside information in relation to the Group or the Company’s securities. Specific enquiries have been made to all Directors and Supervisors and the Directors and Supervisors have confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in the Model Code during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Reasons for and benefits of the Placings
The Group is principally engaged in design, production, commercialization, sales and marketing and research development (R&D) of smart service robotic products and services. The Group's offerings ranging from consumer-level robots and appliances, enterprise-level smart service robotic products and services tailored for education, logistics and other sectors, are equipped to different extents with smart features that sense, interact, analyze and process human instructions and external environment such as mapping, temperature measurement and facial recognition.
The Directors consider that the Placings represent opportunities to replenish capital for continuous optimization and iteration and future large-scale commercialization in the global market of the products of the Group (mainly embodied intelligent humanoid robots) while broadening its Shareholders and capital base.
The Directors are of the view that the Placings would strengthen the financial position of the Group and provide more efficient funding support to the Group.
The Directors consider that the Placing aims to integrate the upstream and downstream supply chains, consolidate and strengthen the Group's leading position in the humanoid robot industry chain, thereby strengthening the Group's strategic layout in industrial manufacturing application scenarios, seizing the historic opportunity of the implementation of humanoid robots in industrial manufacturing application scenarios, and enhancing the Company's core competitiveness, technological strength, sales revenue and profitability.
The Directors consider that the terms of each of the placement agreements under the respective Placings (including the respective placing prices) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The net proceeds from the October 2024 Placing, the November 2024 Placing, the February 2025 Placing, the July 2025 Placing and the November 2025 Placing amounted to approximately HK$407.73 million, HK$551.88 million, HK$876.32 million, HK$2,410.26 million, and HK$3,055.71 million, respectively.
