China’s Eyou Robot Technology has launched the world’s first automated production line for humanoid robot joints in Shanghai, with an initial annual capacity of 100,000 units that can be expanded to 3x that amount.

Founded in 2018, Eyou supplies domestic humanoid robot manufacturers, including AgiBot, and achieved mass production in 2023.

The move aims to prepare for a projected rise in global humanoid robot shipments, which industry estimates suggest could surpass 100,000 units by 2027. C

Eyou recently completed a 50 million yuan (US$7.2 million) funding round and relocated to Shanghai Zhangjiang Robot Valley, home to other robotics firms.
