Honor Enters Robotics Race

28 May 2025

Honor, the smartphone manufacturer formerly under Huawei, is expanding into the robotics sector with the development of humanoid robots. This move is part of a larger $10 billion AI initiative, dubbed the 'Honor Alpha Plan', aimed at transforming the company into a leading AI device ecosystem player. Honor's CEO, James Li Jian, envisions a three-step plan, encompassing intelligent phones, physical AI (robotics), and ultimately, artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Honor has already collaborated with Unitree Robotics, assisting them in achieving a record-breaking running speed for a humanoid robot. The company intends to foster partnerships to broaden the possibilities within the robotics field. This strategic shift follows a decline in Honor's smartphone sales in China, prompting a repositioning towards AI-driven technologies. Honor has established new labs focused on embodied AI and bionic body research to support this expansion.
