Serbia’s Chinese-Serbian robot factory began production; its completed project targets up to 20,000 humanoids and robot dogs annually.

Serbia’s first robot factory formally began production on August 29 in the western city of Šabac. The facility was jointly built by Chinese and Serbian parties and was described as Europe’s first mass-production base for humanoid robots.

The first phase involved an investment of €20 million and occupies approximately 3,000 square meters. Its activities include assembly of humanoid robots and robot dogs, calibration of movement and vision systems, and performance testing.

Humanoid robots produced at the factory are initially intended for industrial production, with later expansion planned into education and public services. The planned products are intended for European and global markets.

A subsequent robot industrial park is planned in Serbia with total investment of approximately €200 million. Once the overall project is completed, planned annual capacity is up to 20,000 humanoid robots and robot dogs; this is a project target, not the factory’s reported current production volume.
