China has taken a major step toward large-scale robotics manufacturing with the launch of its first fully automated production line for humanoid robots. The facility, which began operations on March 29, 2026, is located in Foshan in Guangdong Province, according to multiple authoritative sources.
The production line was jointly developed by Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. and Leju Robotics, marking a significant collaboration in the country’s rapidly advancing robotics sector. The facility is designed with an annual production capacity of up to 10,000 humanoid robots, signaling a shift from experimental development to industrial-scale manufacturing.
Built with advanced automation and digital integration, the production line is capable of assembling one humanoid robot approximately every 30 minutes. It incorporates 24 digitalized precision assembly processes, improving efficiency by more than 50 percent compared to conventional manufacturing systems. Each robot undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process, including 77 separate inspection and testing procedures to ensure reliability and performance.
The system is also highly flexible, allowing for mixed-model production. Adjustable workstations enable the simultaneous manufacturing of different robot models on the same line, increasing adaptability to market demand and future product variations.
The initial production lineup includes the Kuavo industrial humanoid robot developed by Leju Robotics. This milestone reflects China’s broader ambition to accelerate innovation and commercialization in advanced manufacturing, particularly under its 15th Five-Year Plan covering the period from 2026 to 2030.
With this development, China is positioning itself at the forefront of the global humanoid robotics industry, leveraging automation, scale, and technological innovation to drive the next phase of industrial transformation.
