Agroz Inc. (NASDAQ: AGRZ), an innovative, fully vertically integrated agricultural technology company specialising in AI-powered Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) vertical farms, today announced the launch of Agroz Robotics, a new initiative developed in partnership with UBTECH Robotics (HKEX: 09880.HK), a global leader in humanoid robotics.
Unveiled at a launch event, the collaboration marks a major milestone for Agroz as it moves toward fully automated, data-driven farming ecosystems. Agroz Robotics integrates advanced engineering with real-time agricultural intelligence to create an autonomous CEA environment powered by Agroz OS, the company’s proprietary farm operating system.
As part of the initiative, UBTECH’s self-developed industrial humanoid robot, Walker S, will be deployed across Agroz’s controlled-environment farming facilities. Integrated into Agroz OS as a hardware automation platform, Walker S will support core farming tasks including seeding, monitoring, harvesting, and crop optimization. This next-generation system is expected to significantly increase productivity, reduce reliance on manual labor, and deliver greater precision and consistency in crop quality.
“Through Agroz Robotics, we hope to make sustainable agriculture a reality,” said Gerard Lim, CEO of Agroz. “Our collaboration with UBTECH is a major milestone in our mission to redefine agriculture using robotics and artificial intelligence. By pairing cutting-edge humanoid robotics with real-time data intelligence, we can build smart, self-optimizing farms that support the scalable production of cleaner, safer, and more sustainable food.”
Mr. Lim also expressed appreciation for national support, “We thank the Malaysian government for cultivating an environment where deep-tech solutions can thrive, strengthening our nation’s food security, sustainability, and economic resilience.”
Leon Li, General Manager of UBTECH’s Industrial Robotics Division, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Agroz to apply our artificial intelligence and robotics technologies across a wider range of industries, contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture in Asia and around the world.”
Through deep integration with UBTECH’s automation systems, Agroz will deploy modular robotic solutions tailored for vertical farms, smart greenhouses, and hybrid indoor-outdoor facilities across Southeast Asia. This technological advancement supports Malaysia’s long-term goals for sustainable food security and reinforces Agroz’s mission to strengthen reliability, efficiency, and resilience in the regional food supply chain.
As Agroz prepares to expand its footprint across Southeast Asia, the company aims to accelerate the global transition toward intelligent, sustainable, and climate-resilient food systems.
