Primary Use Case
Unitree's first commercial quadruped robot, which established the company's presence in the affordable legged robotics market. Discontinued and replaced by A1 and Go series.
Wang Xingxing, who failed English in school and struggled academically, founded Unitree in 2016 and has grown it into the world's largest humanoid robot manufacturer. The company made a spectacular IPO debut on the Shanghai stock exchange in August 2026, with its valuation soaring to $50 billion from an initial $9 billion, though the stock has since fallen 35%. Unitree's robots, known for dancing and performing martial arts, are primarily purchased by universities and research institutions rather than for industrial applications.
Unitree Robotics officially debuted on the Shanghai STAR Market with impressive 2025 financials showing 1.699 billion yuan revenue (332.3% YoY growth) and 60.4% gross margins, driven by explosive humanoid robot sales that surpassed quadruped revenue for the first time. The company's cost advantage stems from self-developed core components, motor-driven rotary joints, and technology reuse between its humanoid and quadruped product lines, allowing it to reduce unit costs by 23.46% in one year.
Unitree Robotics founder Wang Xingxing's net worth has surpassed 18 billion yuan (approximately $2.54 billion USD) following the company's IPO announcement on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, with an offering price of 150.80 yuan per share and total market valuation reaching 60.99 billion yuan (approximately $8.47 billion USD). The company plans to raise 6.099 billion yuan (approximately $847 million USD) with 85% of funds dedicated to R&D in AI large models, humanoid robot ontology, and new robot products.
