HONOR is a Chinese consumer technology company best known for smartphones and AI devices, but it has recently expanded into embodied AI and humanoid robotics. In March 2026 the company publicly framed robotics as part of its broader AI device ecosystem, and on April 19, 2026 its in-house robot "Shandian" won the Beijing E-Town Humanoid Robot Half Marathon.
