Who they are
Unitree Robotics is a robot maker based in Hangzhou, China. Its legal name is Yushu Technology Co., Ltd. The company says Wang Xingxing founded it in 2016, after a video of his student robot drew attention.
Unitree builds its own motors, gearboxes, controllers, laser scanners and control software. Its website claims more than 200 patent applications and more than 180 granted patents. The company is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market and publishes investor filings on its own site.
What they build
The core products are four-legged robots, often called robot dogs. The Go2 is the small consumer and school model. It stands about 70 by 31 by 40 centimetres, weighs about 15 kilograms and carries roughly 7 to 8 kilograms.
Larger four-legged models are sold for industry: the A2, B2 and the wheeled B2-W. The As2 is a newer compact industrial model. Unitree states it weighs 20 kilograms, resists rain to the IP54 rating and walks more than 13 kilometres on one charge.
Unitree also builds humanoid robots that walk on two legs. The G1 is about 1.32 metres tall and weighs about 35 kilograms, with 23 joints in the basic version and up to 43 in the education version. The H2 is about 1.82 metres tall, weighs about 70 kilograms and has 31 joints. The R1 is a lighter, cheaper humanoid.
Alongside the robots the company sells robotic arms, gripping hands with three or five fingers, and its own 4D laser scanners. It publishes robot software and training data on its public code pages, and markets an embodied intelligence model family called UnifoLM. How well those models work outside demonstrations is not independently documented.
What they are known for
Unitree is known for two things: low prices and stage shows. It describes itself as the first company to sell high-performance four-legged robots openly to the public. That is the company’s own claim, not a verified fact.
Its robots have appeared at large televised events. The company lists the 2021 and 2026 China Media Group Spring Festival Gala, the 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, the 2023 Super Bowl pre-game show and the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou. Videos of its humanoids running, dancing and boxing have spread widely online.
Marketing words such as world’s first and world record appear often on the company’s pages. Treat them as company statements unless a neutral source confirms them.
How they sell
Unitree runs its own online shop, so anyone can see current prices. The shop lists the Go2 from 1,600 US dollars, the R1 humanoid from 4,900 dollars, the G1 humanoid from 13,500 dollars and the H2 humanoid at 29,900 dollars. Big industrial four-legged models such as the B2 are listed at 100,000 dollars.
Education and industry versions are not simple web purchases. Buyers are asked to contact the sales team by email or through an order form. Prices for those versions, and delivery times, are not published.
What is not stated anywhere on the site: how many robots ship each year, how long support lasts, and which countries can legally import each model. Independent reports note that export rules for Chinese robots may change; the company’s own pages do not address this.
