Chilling moment humanoid Chinese robot ARMY marches for ‘first mass delivery’ of futuristic machines coming for our jobs

A CHINESE firm has claimed to have rolled out an army of humanoid robots in what has been described as the “first mass delivery” of machines.

Nightmarish footage released by the company appears to show hundreds of the industrial robots eerily standing in line before marching uniformly into shipping containers.

The sleek video, by the Shenzhen-based firm UBTECH Robotics, was made to promote the launch of the company’s second generation model.

Shot in a white, sterile warehouse, it appears to show tens of robots standing in perfectly spaced lines.

After a camera pans around the robots, giving viewers a complete 360-degree view of the machines, they are then seen marching in perfect unison.

First they appear to slide a battery pack out then back into their backs in an impressive show of autonomy and dexterity.

The robots then squat in unison, before tapping their feet and eventually, marching forward in perfect time with each other, loading themselves into shipping containers.

Once the cargo has loaded itself, the camera pans out to reveal multiple trucks, all ready to deliver the robots to their prospective buyers, with the caption “March Forward” loudly printed on the top left of the frame.

It comes as secretive robotics firms spar for supremacy – often with stunts and slick PR videos showing off their latest designs.

But according to some, UBTECH’s latest video is riddled in inaccuracies – with many speculating the legitimacy of its claims.

AI robot wizz, Brett Adcock, believed the majority of the bots in the video are fake and have been created using CGI.

In a post, he said: “Look at the reflections on this bot, then compare them to the ones behind it.

“The bot in front is real – everything behind it is fake If you see a head unit reflecting a bunch of ceiling lights, that’s a giveaway it’s CGI.”

The firm has continued to deny the allegations, insisting its army of robots is the “next era of intelligent manufacturing”.

It even released a behind-the-scenes shot appearing to show their workers with the robots.

In a post, UBTECH said: “They said it looked too perfect to be real. But perfection isn’t fabricated—it’s delicately engineered.

“This is the historic mass delivery of UBTECH (优必选) Walker S2. The next era of intelligent manufacturing is here. Let’s build it together!”

FLYING MARKET

UBTECH reported more than $112 million in orders for the new robot model in 2025, including a $22.3 million order to a company in China‘s Sichuan province.

It was the second largest single order of the robot model, following a $35.1 million order in September.

The company reported a slew of new contracts and partnerships, including with an unnamed “major Chinese enterprise” for “embodied intelligence humanoid robot products and solutions”, according to SCMP.com.

Vehicle exporter Miee Auto has invested in the company, with a $14 million deal.

UBTech’s share price has gained more than 150 per cent this year, closing at HK$133 on Tuesday.

It was the first robotics company to be listed in Hong Kong in 2023, and bolstered by the continuing flow of purchases, UBTech’s share price has gained more than 150 per cent this year, closing at $17.11 on Tuesday.

Reports suggest hundreds of the Walker S2 units had already been dispatched from the factory since the production announcement in July.

With the mass production of the machinery underway, UBTECH said the manufacturing process had begun earlier than expected.

The company claimed the first round of robots were being delivered to other industrial giants, including BYD, Geely, FAW-Volkswagen, DongFeng and Foxconn.

Developed to be integrated into manufacturing and logistics, the robots are designed to work around the clock and uninterrupted.
