Behind the dark tunnels of coal mines, hot oil pipelines, and\nfire-prone electrical substations, there are dangerous tasks that have\nlong been performed by humans. Now, quadruped and humanoid robots are\nbeing prepared to take over these duties in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Unitree, a Chinese manufacturer of humanoid and quadruped robots that\nhas shipped more than 50,000 units worldwide, is officially entering the\nIndonesian market in April 2026. The company, founded in 2016 in\nHangzhou, has partnered with Halo Robotics as its exclusive distributor\nin Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndonesia, with its vast industrial sector in mining, oil and gas,\nplantation agriculture, and manufacturing, has a direct need for robots\ncapable of operating in hazardous and hard-to-reach environments,\u201d said\nJohannes Soekidi, Managing Director of Halo Robotics, in a press\nstatement on Thursday (30\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Indonesia was selected as the next strategic market by Unitree for\ngood reason. As Southeast Asia\u2019s largest economy by a significant\nmargin, the country is seen as having high potential for absorbing\nrobotics technology, particularly in industries that have long faced\nchallenges in logistics, occupational safety, and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to being Southeast Asia\u2019s largest economy by a wide\nmargin, we have also found that Indonesian companies quickly adopt new\ntechnologies and often face significant challenges in logistics, safety,\nand costs that can be addressed with robotics and AI technology,\u201d said\nIrving.<\/p>\n
Unitree currently holds 70 percent of the global market share in the\nquadruped robot segment.<\/p>\n
In 2025, the company became the world\u2019s largest producer of humanoid\nrobots by shipment volume, with more than 5,500 humanoid units shipped\nin a single year. Over 300 research papers published by universities in\nthe world\u2019s Top 50 have used Unitree technology for AI and robotics\nresearch.<\/p>\n
Through the partnership with Halo Robotics, the entire Unitree robot\nlineup is now available in Indonesia with full local technical support,\nincluding warranties, operational training, and after-sales\nservices.<\/p>\n
Halo Robotics itself is Indonesia\u2019s largest distributor of enterprise\ndrones and robotics, with over a decade of experience serving more than\n900 companies and government institutions.<\/p>\n
Unitree offers a range of product lines, each designed for different\nneeds: from research and education platforms to heavy industrial\noperations capable of carrying heavy loads in extreme terrains such as\nstairs, steep slopes, and uneven areas.<\/p>\n
Unitree\u2019s humanoid line is designed for applications ranging from\nfacility inspections and industrial automation to direct human\ninteraction in public environments.<\/p>\n
Johannes emphasised that this partnership is not merely about product\ndistribution but is part of a major leap in national industrial\ntransformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an important turning point in Indonesia\u2019s industrial\ntransformation and Industry 4.0, and we are confident that Unitree\nrobots will be widely implemented across key industrial sectors, with\ngrowing scale supported by official after-sales service centres in\nIndonesia through Halo Robotics.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/advanced-robots-set-to-enter-indonesias-mines-and-oil-refineries-1777530568", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
