中国自主移动机器人企业Geek+正在改造英国零售业的仓储运营。该公司已成为全球最大的自主移动机器人供应商,并于去年在香港上市,其融资规模成为2025年最大的机器人股票融资之一[1]。英国已成为Geek+在欧洲最大的市场,包括Tesco、Asda和Next等主要零售商正在采用其技术[1]。
通过合作方MotionTech,Geek+已在英国十个仓库部署超过2000台机器人[1]。英国拥有欧洲最大的电子商务和物流部门之一,这为机器人技术的应用提供了广阔的市场空间[1]。不过,OECD在2026年的报告中指出,英国的机器人采用率低于预期[1]。全球范围内,中国企业已占据绝大多数人形机器人部署的份额[1]。
Chinese robotics firm Geek+ is reshaping Britain's retail logistics through autonomous mobile robot technology, establishing the country as its largest European market [1]. The company, which listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as one of the largest robotics funding rounds of 2025, has deployed over 2,000 robots across 10 warehouses through its UK partner MotionTech [1]. Major retailers including Tesco, Asda, and Next have adopted the technology to automate their warehouse operations [1].
Geek+ has emerged as the world's leading supplier of autonomous mobile robots, with Chinese enterprises now accounting for the vast majority of humanoid robot deployments globally [1]. The UK is positioned as a particularly significant market due to its ownership of one of Europe's largest e-commerce and logistics sectors [1]. However, Britain's robotics adoption rate remains below expectations, according to an OECD report released in 2026 [1]. The expansion of Chinese robotics capabilities into British retail comes as the United States imposed this week a ban on importing new foreign-manufactured advanced robots, citing national security concerns [1].
