Unitree Robotics

With a reported top speed of 12.66 m/s and a 2-meter standing high jump, Unitree’s latest prototype appears to fulfill its CEO’s promise to outpace the world’s elite human athletes.

Fresh off its blockbuster Shanghai IPO, Unitree revealed it has manufactured roughly 18,000 bipedal humanoids—a count that explicitly excludes wheeled or hybrid platforms in an ongoing rivalry with AGIBOT.

A new market report reveals explosive humanoid shipment growth driven by industrial deployment and Chinese ecosystem dominance, even as geopolitical risks and software limitations loom.

With its Shanghai STAR Market IPO massively oversubscribed, Unitree Robotics has secured a roughly $9 billion valuation and a strategic partnership with AI heavyweight DeepSeek, setting the stage for the next phase of the humanoid robot race.

Chinese humanoid giant Unitree Robotics is targeting a post-IPO valuation of up to $7.4 billion as it navigates sweeping US import bans and intensifying global competition.
