Unitree
Unitree is a Chinese robotics company that develops and manufactures quadruped and humanoid robots. Its product lineup includes the Go2 and G1 models, which are widely used as research platforms. In August 2026, Unitree became the first humanoid robot company to list on China's A-share market.
In September 2026, Unitree released the G1+, an upgraded version of its G1 humanoid robot. Also in September, the company performed the world's largest-scale autonomous humanoid robot dance with 19 units at the WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 opening ceremony. Unitree is a member of Arm's Physical AI ecosystem program and reported producing approximately 18,000 bipedal humanoid robots as of July 2026.
In October 2026, US partner Toborlife AI launched a full-body teleoperation software package for the Unitree G1 Edu. This system features a data sovereignty policy where all learning data remains on local hardware. Industry reports indicate that Unitree focuses on science, education, and consumer markets, holding a 21.4% share of global quadruped robot revenue in the first half of 2026. The company is also cited as a representative adopter of battery swapping technology to maximize operational uptime.
