BEIJING, March 20 (Reuters) - Chinese startup Unitree Robotics on Friday filed an initial public offering application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, seeking to raise 4.2 billion yuan ($610 million), according to the prospectus, in a test of investor interest in humanoid robots. Unitree shipped over 5,500 units last year, occupying 32.4% of the global humanoid market, the document said. Founded in 2016, Unitree leads the industry in both production and sales, becoming a go-to choice for Chinese universities researching robotics, as well as a common sight in entertainment and sporting events all over China. ... Laurie Chen is a China Correspondent at Reuters' Beijing bureau, covering politics and general news. Unitree's robots were the star of Chinese state media's Spring Festival gala last month, which featured a technically ambitious martial arts sequence performed by over a dozen humanoid robots twirling swords and nunchucks alongside human dancers. Unitree's operating income grew 335% year-on-year in 2025, reaching 1.708 billion yuan, its prospectus said, while its net profit soared by 674%. Humanoids have become the firm's key growth engine as their share of main business revenue rose to 51.5% in January-September 2025 from 27.6% in 2024, even though the shift into the lower-priced G1 model trimmed gross margin, according to the document.
Leju raises $200M for humanoid production as Unitree unveils H2 - The Robot Report
## Leju builds an ‘open platform’ Leju Robotics said it has built an ecosystem that encompasses core robot components, gait-control algorithms, and the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS). It provides wheeled, tracked, and bipedal robots, as well as robotics as a service (RaaS) for multiple industries. The Shenzhen-based startup‘s product line includes the AELOS and ROBAN small and medium-size humanoid robots, as well as the KUAVO-MY and KUAVO 3.0 full-size humanoids. AELOS participated in the closing ceremonies at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea. [...] Spun out of the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2016, Leju has been developing robots for education, healthcare, heavy load transport, and elder care. It has established research and development centers around China and opened an innovation center in Shenzhen, China, with Huawei a year ago. Also founded in 2016, Unitree recently raised Series C funding that brought its valuation to $1.7 billion U.S. In August, the Hangzhou, China-based company launched its A2 lidar-equipped quadruped, and its H1 humanoid participated in China’s World Humanoid Robot Games. Unitree’s new H2 robot comes in a commercial model for $29,000 and an educational model for an unspecified price. It is 182 cm (5 ft. 11 in.) tall, weighs about 70 kg (154.3 lb.), and has 31 degrees of freedom (DoF). [...] KUAVO-MY is an “open platform” for general embodied intelligence, suitable for both developers and industrial applications, according to Leju. It stands 1.4 m (4 ft., 9.8 in.) tall and has more than 40 DoF, but the company did not list its weight. ## Investors pave the way toward IPOs Leju Robotics said it was one of the first companies in the Tencent AI Accelerator, the fourth batch of the Microsoft Accelerator in Shanghai, and the twelfth batch of Lenovo Star. The company raised 36.2 million in Series B funding in June 2019.
Unitree's bipedal robot shows off slick moves alongside human dancers
Standing at 5 ft 9 inches, the H1 robot sells for $90,000 The South China Morning Post noted that within China itself, humanoid robots are expected to account for $2.7 billion in sales by 2026. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs forecasted that the global demand for humanoid robots will hit $38 billion by 2035. If you're keen on following how far robots have come, check out some of our recent coverage. In the last few months, we've seen a humanoid robot purpose-built for working in warehouses, a wheeled quadruped tackle difficult terrain like it was nothing, and pulling off parkour stunts on snow-covered hills, and jellyfish- and worm-like machines powered by 'robot blood.' Source: Unitree Robotics ## Tags Abhimanyu Ghoshal Sign up for our FREE daily New Atlas newsletter! ## Most Viewed [...] Here at New Atlas, we like to keep tabs on developments in the world of robotics – just so we're aware of how soon Terminator-style machines will assemble and march against the human race. As it turns out, they're now well past marching without falling over, and are now joining human dancers in complex choreographed performances. Last week, Chinese robotics company Unitree released a video showing 16 of its H1 humanoid robots busting moves alongside human dancers at a Spring Festival (or Chinese New Year) Gala event. They not only danced in sync with the beat and the human troupe, but each of them also flawlessly pulled off an incredibly challenging feat: spinning a handkerchief, throwing it, and catching it in motion. [...] This sleight of hand is a highlight of the Chinese folk dance, Yangge, and is said to require a ton of practice. And while the H1 performance isn't the first time we've seen a bipedal robot dance, it's probably the most impressive example yet. Unitree's clip above includes footage of the bots in a rehearsal space and on a stage. In the video from Chinese news agency CCTV below, you can see the H1s perform live in front of an audience at the 'Chunwan' Spring Festival gala in Beijing. According to the company, this was the world’s “first large-scale, fully AI-driven and fully automated cluster humanoid robot performance in history."
AI Robotics News: Humanoids, Foundation Models & Deployments | Let's Data Science
Tutor Intelligence has opened Data Factory 1 (DF1), a Watertown, Massachusetts facility that the company and multiple outlets describe as the largest robot data factory in the United States, according to reporting by Manufacturing Dive and The Robot Report. Per Manufacturing Dive and Hoodline, DF1 houses 100 semi-humanoid robots named Sonny, occupies roughly 35,000 square feet in a renovated mill, and uses a mix of onsite staff and remote teleoperators to collect training data. The Robot Report says the robots train a vision-language-action model called Ti0, and that Tutor raised $34 million in Series A funding in December 2025. Industry context: this is an example of companies prioritizing real-world, human-supervised data collection at fleet scale rather than relying solely on [...] ## South Korea Ordains Humanoid Robot 'Gabi' as Monk Multiple outlets report that a 130-centimeter humanoid robot named Gabi took part in a Buddhist ordination ritual at Seoul's Jogyesa Temple ahead of Buddha's birthday. Reporting varies: Mashable and several international outlets describe the event as an ordination in which the robot answered "Yes, I will devote myself," while IBTimes and the Jogye Order say the robot was accepted as a lay Buddhist practitioner rather than formally ordained as a monk (IBTimes cites the Jogye Order). Multiple sources identify the robot as based on Unitree Robotics' G1 humanoid platform and say the Jogye Order helped adapt the five precepts for a machine, with the rewrite informed by ChatGPT and Google's Gemini according to Mashable. [...] Figure AI published a video and blog post showing two humanoid F.03 robots autonomously tidying a staged bedroom and making a bed in under two minutes, according to the company blog post and accompanying social posts. Figure AI says the robots run an onboard Helix-02 Vision-Language-Action policy and coordinate purely via visual observation, with "no shared planner between them, no message passing, no central coordinator," per the company blog. The demo includes locomotion, bimanual dexterity, object reorientation, hanging clothes, and smoothing a comforter, all presented as learned behaviors from pixels to actions (Figure AI blog). CEO Brett Adcock posted the video on X and one company post read, "Honestly, they're better at it than most humans," according to social-media coverage
