China’s Eyou opens world’s first automated line for humanoid robot joints

China’s Eyou Robot Technology has launched the world’s first automated production line for robot joints, positioning itself to capture growth ahead of a projected surge in humanoid robot shipments.

The plant, based in Pudong, Shanghai, opened last Wednesday with an annual capacity of 100,000 units, with scope to triple output.

Founded in 2018, Eyou supplies domestic humanoid robot makers, including industry leader AgiBot. The company achieved mass production of its products in 2023, with annual deliveries surpassing 95,000 joints in 2025.

The expansion indicates the company’s efforts to secure market share once humanoid robot shipments reach mass-market scale.

Capacity must be built in advance to seize the first-mover advantage, Shanghai Securities News reported, citing an executive from a publicly listed components manufacturer in eastern China’s Zhejiang province.

The executive added that humanoid robot mass production would not follow the automotive industry’s historical path of gradual iteration and steady scaling. Instead, the market was expected to hit a tipping point where a technological breakthrough triggered a sudden surge in demand.
