Overview
Unitree Robotics is a Hangzhou-based robotics company founded by Wang Xingxing in 2016. It rose to prominence by building agile, low-cost quadruped robots that undercut Western rivals like Boston Dynamics, capturing over 60% of the global quadruped market. The company has since expanded aggressively into humanoid robots, with models such as the H1 and G1 priced far below competitors, and became the world's top humanoid robot seller in 2025.
Products and Embodied AI
Unitree's lineup spans the Go series of quadruped robot dogs, the B-series industrial quadrupeds, and humanoids including H1 and the more affordable G1. The robots combine in-house actuators, motors, and control systems with embodied-AI software for locomotion, balance, and manipulation, enabling research, inspection, entertainment, and increasingly general-purpose tasks.
Funding and Trajectory
Unitree raised a Series C in 2025 co-led by Alibaba, Tencent, Ant Group, China Mobile Capital, and Geely Capital, valuing the company at roughly 12.7 billion yuan. It subsequently filed for a Shanghai STAR Market IPO targeting a multi-billion-dollar valuation. With over 30,000 quadrupeds shipped and thousands of humanoids sold, Unitree is one of the most commercially successful embodied-AI hardware companies globally.
