Kuala Lumpur, El Sky News – 18–20 November 2025, Working Robotics Malaysia captured strong attention at Smart Nation Expo 2025, a major technology showcase held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC). The exhibition brought together robotics, AI, automation, and smart-technology companies over three days, highlighting the rapid digital transformation taking place across the region.
As the authorized Malaysian partner of Unitree — a leading robotics manufacturer from China — Working Robotics exhibited several advanced machines, including humanoid robots and four-legged robotic units that are increasingly used in industrial inspection and automation.
Partnership Between Working Robotics and Unitree
During an interview at the booth, a representative from Working Robotics introduced herself and explained the company’s role:
“Hi, my name is Sam. So I’m from Working Robotics. So we are the authorized partner of Unitree in Malaysia itself.”
She explained that the robots displayed at the event were original Unitree products:
“So the hardware itself, the robot, is actually from Unitree. And Unitree is actually a company from China. But meanwhile, Working Robotics, what we do is we also build solutions and software development on top of the robot.
And we also provide training, maintenance, and support in a way. So in a way, we are actually providing robot as a service in Malaysia.”
On manufacturing responsibility, she clarified:
“Unitree is actually from China. So they are the one who developed and manufactured the robot itself. But meanwhile, Working Robotics, we are a Malaysian-based company. So we actually bring in the robots to supply to the customer.
And on top of it, developing the solution, the maintenance, support, and also the training as well.”
Robot Models and Their Capabilities
Working Robotics showcased a variety of robots tailored for real-world applications:
“For now, we have the Humanoid, which is actually the G1. And we also have the dog robots, which is actually the four-legged robots. Which is the B2 and the Go2. Mainly, they are used for inspection, patrolling, and surveillance as well.”
The robots also integrate advanced AI systems:
“Yes, it does. So it’s able to integrate, for example, the Humanoid can actually integrate with ChatGPT. And then it also has its own LiDAR system, where it’s able to do the 3D mapping.”
She elaborated on their industrial usage:
“The main purpose of the dog robots at the moment is really for industrial use. Where they will use it for inspection, surveillance, and also patrolling as well.”
For humanoid robotics, she emphasized ongoing research:
“Currently it’s still a lot about research and development. Trying to see how it can mimic humans, what it can do. So if you check out the video, currently it can do dancing, it can do Kung Fu, it can do wrestling.
Basically, because we want to see that for the Humanoid robot, how flexible can it be.”
She also highlighted future applications:
“I think what we see that in future, it can probably be in the logistics, the warehouse, and also manufacturing as well. Helping us to be a collaboration robot.”
Visitors were also shown object-handling capabilities:
“Yes, it can open a bottle. But it also depends on the hand. Because for today, we actually have a static hand. But once you actually change it to a gestural hand, then it’s flexible enough.
But then one thing is also it needs a lot of machine learning. So we have to train the robot to understand how to open, how to identify this as an object. So this is also part of the AI as well.”
Strategic Importance
Working Robotics’ showcase at Smart Nation Expo 2025 highlights Malaysia’s move toward practical, deployable robotics solutions. By combining Unitree’s established hardware with local software development, service support, and training, the company strengthens its position as a key provider of robot-as-a-service within the nation.
This model allows organisations to adopt robotics without heavy upfront investment or technical burden — a crucial step toward industrial automation, safer inspection tasks, and future integration of humanoid robots in logistics and manufacturing environments.
