Play Robotics Launches 'China-Shenzhen Humanoid On-site Inspection Program' for Corporations

On May 29, 2026, Play Robotics announced the launch of the 'China-Shenzhen Humanoid On-site Inspection Program' aimed at Japanese corporations.

As part of its humanoid AI robot safety evaluation consulting service, Play Robotics has partnered with Robot Works, which operates out of Shenzhen and Kyoto, to provide a customized site visit consulting service. This program involves surveying relevant companies, supply chains, and implementation sites in Shenzhen and major Chinese cities.

## Background: Lack of Information for Japanese Companies on the 'Implementation Side'

Between 2025 and 2026, companies in China such as Unitree, AgiBot, UBTech, and Fourier have rapidly advanced the development and mass production of humanoid AI robots. While fragmentary information is available through demo videos and press releases, opportunities for Japanese companies to directly grasp actual safety designs, mass production systems, and operational know-how remain extremely limited.

Meanwhile, Japanese manufacturing, logistics, and service industries are entering a phase of safely implementing these robots. Play Robotics provides a platform for Japanese companies to obtain information on-site from an expert perspective.

## Service Overview

- Name: China-Shenzhen Humanoid On-site Inspection Program
- Content: Surveys, explanations, pre-orientation, and post-visit reports regarding humanoid AI robot companies, supply chains, and implementation sites in major Chinese cities.
- Target: Japanese corporations (manufacturing, logistics, trading companies, research institutions, etc.)
- Language Support: Includes Japanese interpretation.
- Pricing: Individual quotes provided.

## Three Features of the Program

1. Professional Expertise in Safety Evaluation: Based on the latest safety standards, including ISO 25785-1 currently under development, experts provide analysis and commentary.
2. Collaboration with Local Partners: In partnership with Robot Works, the program supports the selection of candidates, scheduling, and on-site communication.
3. Customized Design: The program duration and itinerary are designed individually based on the customer's purpose.

Representative Mr. Sano states that Play Robotics offers this program as a supporter for Japanese business entities to accurately understand China's cutting-edge developments and utilize them for their own corporate strategy.
