Unitree Goes Public: #1 Globally in Humanoid Robot Shipments
yangyi · x · 2026-08-10
Unitree Robotics has officially gone public with a market cap of 61 billion. Founder Wang Xingxing's journey is a remarkable comeback story, evolving from a 2017 incident where his robot dog malfunctioned in front of Lei Jun, to standing as the youngest entrepreneur alongside industry giants at the 2025 Private Enterprise Symposium.
The company has achieved significant milestones in the robotics sector:
- 2021: 24 robot cows performed alongside Andy Lau at the Spring Festival Gala.
- 2023: Developed its first humanoid robot, the H1, with a core team of just 3 people, heavily reusing quadruped tech.
- 2025: 16 H1 humanoid robots performed traditional handkerchief dances at the Spring Festival Gala.
Unitree now holds a dominant position in embodied AI: in 2025, it shipped over 5,500 humanoid robots (ranking #1 globally) and captured nearly 70% of the global quadruped robot market. The company reported revenues of 1.699 billion and a net profit of 278 million.
