Joint Research

Developing Low-Power, Long-Endurance Embodied Intelligence Robots


As a listed company in China's SiC power device sector, BASiC Semiconductor has achieved independent controllability across the entire industry chain, including SiC chip design, wafer fabrication, packaging and testing, and driver applications. Its core products include SiC MOSFETs, automotive and industrial power modules. As the "first listed humanoid robot company," UBTECH focuses on the R&D and scenario deployment of embodied intelligence robots, with rich industry experience and strong capability in application-trend forecasting. Under this cooperation, both parties will conduct research and validation on the application of SiC power devices in multiple modules such as robot power management and motion control, jointly promoting their widespread application in embodied intelligence humanoid robots and creating new quality productive forces.

Building a Benchmark

Jointly Establishing a Demonstration Production Line for Humanoid Robot Semiconductor Manufacturing Applications


With intelligent robots and AI technologies at its core, UBTECH's products cover industrial production, industrial logistics, commercial and smart healthcare, and education. They have been deployed in scenarios such as vehicle inspection, parts installation, box handling, sorting and delivery, reception and guidance, and safety inspection. Based on UBTECH's rich product matrix and scenario capabilities, BASiC Semiconductor will deploy UBTECH embodied intelligence humanoid robots in semiconductor production lines to further improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs, jointly building a demonstration production line for humanoid robot semiconductor manufacturing applications. This will accelerate the intelligent upgrade of BASiC Semiconductor's SiC wafer fabrication and module packaging production lines, and will also provide a replicable and scalable industrial model for the deep integration of wide-bandgap semiconductors and embodied intelligence. 双向赋能

Two-Way Empowerment

Integrated Development of “Wide-bandgap Semiconductors + Embodied Intelligence”


This cooperation deeply integrates the energy efficiency advantages of SiC with the scenarios of embodied intelligence robots, jointly setting a benchmark model for “wide-bandgap semiconductors + embodied intelligence” empowering industrial upgrading. Taking this as a new starting point, both parties will continue to deepen technological collaboration and ecosystem co-building, enabling "Chinese chips" and "robots" to resonate in the energy efficiency revolution. This will inject strong momentum into building a low-power, long-endurance, and safer embodied intelligence robot industry ecosystem, helping China's humanoid robot industry move toward higher energy efficiency and more sustainable development.
