Global Humanoid Robot Shipments Surge 4X: Unveiling the Key Industry Players Reaping the Huge Profits

Exclusive | Orbbec Cuts Lawn-Mowing Robot ODM Business; Thousand-Unit Shipment Insufficient to Support Whole-Machine Ambitions

Leifeng Wang has learned exclusively that 3D vision perception company Orbbec has decided internally in mid-September to discontinue its lawn mower robot ODM business. However, the visual module product line remains unaffected, and perception modules for outdoor robots continue to advance normally. Reviewing its entry path, the lawn mower ODM business was originally highly anticipated. The project was championed by a former sales head of the robotics business, and Orbbec invested in whole-system R&D resources for it, securing an order from a Shanghai-based customer. However, actual cumulative shipments reached only a few thousand units, far below expectations. Informed sources reveal that discontinuing the ODM business is a timely loss-cutting decision driven by multiple converging factors, with three main reasons: First, new FCC regulations. On July 28 this year, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission listed "advanced robotic equipment manufactured abroad" on its regulated devices list, and lawn mower robots fall squarely within that definition; on September 11, the FCC released new equipment authorization rules, further tightening the authorization pathway for such devices. North American entry barriers have risen sharply. Second, the market is oversaturated. While lawn mowers are the fastest-growing category in yard robots, this has also attracted numerous robot vacuum and pool robot manufacturers to enter the lawn mower space, intensifying industry competition. Third, the major customer strategy did not work out. "Failed to hold onto strong partners"—whether the ODM model can succeed depends not only on technical capability but also on downstream brands' sales volume and channel strength. The customer's shipment volume cannot support a dedicated ODM product line. Cutting the lawn mower ODM business means Orbbec's role in the lawn mower segment is shifting from "manufacturing complete systems" back to "upstream supply..."
