"Robot companions" have been presold 3,800 units in 10 days. The male version is dressed in a slim-fit suit, while the female version can be made up. They also come with a "cultivation system" emotional big model, and are only available for adults to purchase.

After being online for 10 days, the humanoid robot U1, which focuses on emotional companionship and is offered by Ubtech, has received over 3800 pre-orders, with a total deposit amount of over tens of millions of yuan. For Ubtech, which only sold 1079 humanoid robots last year, this attempt could already be considered a "small breakthrough". The robot, dressed in a slim-fit suit, allowing makeup, equipped with a "nurturing series" emotional large model, supporting multi-dimensional appearance customization, initiating IP cooperation, and limited to adult purchase and use, has quickly pushed this gendered humanoid robot into the public eye, hinting at another group of customers: fans of the economy and young consumers under the "second dimension" culture willing to pay for the "nurturing series" character design. Some "second dimension" players have candidly told reporters, "If the price is controlled around 100,000 yuan, and can interact with IPs like Yigou, it will definitely 'sell out'". On the other hand, the unique style has also raised concerns, such as the support for customization possibly leading to a "highly similar to real humans" gray area of copyrights; designing the robot as an emotional companion may lead users to develop unhealthy emotional dependencies, further weakening real interpersonal interactions.
