FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-10-12
The author's Shenzhen robotics map lists 36 companies, 5 of them focused on humanoid robots (Astor AI, Leju, EngineAI, UBTech, LimX) — the most of any Chinese city.
The supply chain is nearly complete: DJI drones, Orbbec sensors, Dobot arms, plus humanoid players like X Square and Robot Phoenix, consumer hardware, with Huawei, Tencent Robotics X and BYD co-located; 21 companies in Nanshan, 21 within 10 km of SUSTech.
Takeaway: while Silicon Valley defines the future, Shenzhen covers nearly the entire commercialization chain that builds it.
