GA Robotics
Official Japan distributor for UBTECH humanoid robots, offering the Walker and Cruzr model lines via short-term rental rather than direct sale.
GA Robotics (Kabushiki Kaisha GA Robotics) is a Japanese robotics distribution company incorporated in February 2025 and headquartered in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, at the Mainichi Shimbun Shutoken Center. The company serves as the official Japan distributor for UBTECH Robotics, the Shenzhen-based humanoid robot manufacturer, and focuses on helping Japanese corporations, research institutions, and educational organizations evaluate and deploy humanoid and service robots without requiring outright purchase.
The company's initial offering, launched in mid-October 2025, was a rental service for UBTECH's Walker E Pro humanoid robot, aimed at use cases including technology verification, demonstration experiments, event exhibitions, and educational programs. In July 2026, GA Robotics expanded its lineup by introducing three additional UBTECH models to the Japanese market: the Walker Tienkung DEX and Walker C1 humanoid robots, positioned for research, commercial, and industrial applications, and the Cruzr Y1, a wheeled commercial service robot designed for reception, guidance, and customer-facing roles in retail and hospitality settings. GA Robotics markets these robots for research and development, education, entertainment, and service-industry use, and its business model centers on lowering the barrier to entry for organizations that want to trial humanoid robotics through short-term rental and deployment support rather than capital purchase.
As a distributor rather than a manufacturer, GA Robotics' role is to localize UBTECH's product lineup for the Japanese market, including logistics, after-sales support, and rental administration, effectively acting as the bridge between UBTECH's China-based hardware and Japanese enterprise and institutional customers. The company is led by representative Mayumi Sekiguchi and can be reached at +81-48-400-0441. Founded less than two years ago, GA Robotics represents part of a wave of new regional distribution and integration businesses formed around Chinese humanoid robot manufacturers as they seek international market entry, with UBTECH in particular expanding its Walker and Cruzr humanoid and service robot families into new geographies through local partners. GA Robotics' press announcements have been covered by Japanese trade media including PR Times and Robot Start, reflecting active market interest in humanoid robot rental services in Japan's corporate and research sectors. Specific figures on employee headcount, revenue, or unit deployment volumes have not been publicly disclosed by the company.
