Serenity: Mitsubishi Motors joins the humanoid robot race, as global automakers accelerate collaborations with robotics firms.

Serenity released a report stating that Mitsubishi Motors has formed a partnership with Japanese robotics firm Highlanders, with plans to deploy humanoid robots by 2027, further confirming that global automakers are accelerating their expansion in the humanoid robot sector. Currently, multiple leading robotics companies have established cooperative relationships with large automakers, including Agility Robotics with Foxconn and Toyota, Apptronik with Jabil and Mercedes-Benz, Figure with BMW, Boston Dynamics with Hyundai Motor, and Optimus with Tesla, among others. Serenity pointed out that overseas humanoid robot firms are increasingly forging deep ties with large automakers, with some even achieving vertical integration. In contrast, Chinese enterprises such as UBTECH, AgiBot, and Unitree tend to collaborate with multiple automakers, adopting a more open cooperation model. The market is closely monitoring how this industry cooperation trend will evolve going forward.
