China Starts Producing Humanoid Robots Every 30 Minutes (3 photos + 2 videos)
Chinese robotics has finally moved beyond prototype demonstrations to aggressive industrial scaling. 
Leju Robot has officially launched the production line for its Kuavo series of humanoid robots, setting an impressive pace: one finished android rolls off the assembly line every 30 minutes. At this rate, the plant is capable of producing 17,520 units per year, turning yesterday's science fiction into a mass-produced product. 
With this breakthrough, Leju Robot became the fourth company in the world to surpass the annual mass production threshold of 10,000 humanoid robots. Remarkably, the entire "ten-thousander club" is currently exclusively Chinese. This underscores China's dominant position in complex electromechanics and the creation of closed-loop supply chains for next-generation robotics.
The high assembly speed was made possible by the extensive automation of the Guangdong plant. The process is broken down into dozens of stages, where the precision of component installation is controlled by intelligent systems, and the component localization rate exceeds 95%.
Kuavo robots run on an open operating system and are integrated with cloud-based AI platforms, allowing them to learn new tasks virtually instantly.
Industry experts note that reaching such capacity marks the beginning of an era of android commercialization. While Western developers focus on refining algorithms for individual robots, Chinese manufacturers are focusing on mass production and cost reduction. Thus, by the end of 2026, the question of the presence of robot assistants in enterprises and logistics centers will move from the theoretical plane to a purely practical one.
