A recent increase in humanoid robot shipments in China has led to the emergence of a new job role focused on repairing and training these robots. Trainees, such as Zhao Xin in Ordos, are now earning approximately six thousand yuan per month by disassembling knee joints and diagnosing App error codes, with the Unitree Go2 being the most frequently serviced model.
This development is significant as it highlights the growing demand for skilled technicians in the robotics sector, particularly in the realm of humanoid robots. The rise in shipments indicates a robust market for these technologies, which could lead to further job creation and training opportunities in related fields.
Looking ahead, it will be important to monitor how this trend evolves and whether it leads to the establishment of formal training programs or certifications for technicians. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
