RealMan Robotics plans to deploy a thousand humanoid robots in real workplaces in 2026
- RealMan Robotics will showcase 1000 RealBOT robots in 2026.
- The GLN system provides management with millisecond latency.
- Robots are already working in pharmacies, factories, and kitchens.
- CR L3 certification received, MTBF – 50,000 hours.
At the World Robotics Conference (WRC) 2026 held in Beijing, RealMan Robotics showcased the operation of its humanoid robots RealBOT. The stage featured machines capable of handling medications, inspecting electrical panels, cooking food alongside chefs, and remotely configuring equipment.
A key element of the system is the Global Link Network (GLN). According to the developers, the operator can control the robot with a latency of a few milliseconds even over distances of thousands of kilometers, opening up possibilities for distributed robotic labor.
RealMan Robotics announced its intention to deploy approximately one thousand RealBOT robots in real-world conditions by the end of 2026. Data collected during operation is planned to be used for further improving the robots' perception, manipulation, and decision-making algorithms.
The company positions this step as a transition from laboratory prototypes to systems capable of continuously performing useful work in homes, factories, pharmacies, and other areas. Real scenarios were demonstrated at the exhibition: restocking medicines in a 'smart' pharmacy, inspecting a distribution center, co-cooking with human chefs, and working at a factory in Changzhou.
Remote control and new models of labor
The GLN network allows specialized human skills to be transmitted through a robot, creating a potentially new model of distributed labor, where the operator can be anywhere in the world, and the robot can perform the task on-site. This architecture reduces the need for local presence of specialists and accelerates the scaling of solutions.
Each completed task generates detailed data about the robot's interaction with the physical environment. This data serves as feedback for training machine vision and control systems, enhancing their adaptability to various operating conditions.
Reliability and Certifications
RealMan Robotics received the CR L3 certification from the Shanghai Research Institute of Robotics, demonstrated at the same exhibition. According to the company, the mean time between failures (MTBF) of its lightweight humanoid systems has reached 50,000 hours, which is considered sufficient for long-term commercial operation.
Particular attention is given to tactile sensors developed in collaboration with PaXini. The improved sensors allow robots to more accurately sense contact forces, reduce the number of collisions, enhance assembly quality, and increase the safety of human-machine collaboration.
The RealMan Robotics initiative highlights a growing trend in the industry: the integration of reliable equipment, advanced sensors, instant remote control, and real operational data to create robots capable of continuously performing useful work, rather than just demonstrating individual capabilities.
