Matrix Robotics unveiled the MATRIX-3 humanoid robot at WAIC 2026, a 1.7m, 65kg unit priced from 580,000 yuan with 1,000+ cumulative orders and a proprietary WAVE foundation model enabling task generalisation. The company is ramping Shanghai manufacturing to 5,000 units in 2026 and 10,000 in 2027, launching a global partner programme to accelerate deployment across commercial services, hospitality, and industrial sectors.
