Unitree CEO Wang Xingxing: Whoever builds the first Generalized Robotics Foundation Model deserves a Nobel Prize. He also said Unitree is working in that direction too, but the probability of succeeding is currently below 50%.

The CEO of Unitree, XingXing Wang, posted a dancing video at Rednote against the hype that the previous dance video was AI- or CG- generated. The dance is performed before a mirror and with sound, which makes it 100% real. Really cool demo! #Unitree #Humanoid #RobotDance

Unitree founder Wang Xingxing: In robotics, locomotion and basic motion is mostly solved. But grasping and manipulation—anything related to haptics—hasn’t been solved. That’s the key bottleneck preventing them from being deployed at scale in factories and homes. He says that simulation is much faster for training but for manipulation tasks you still need real-world training data—for now.

Below is the performance by Unitree Robotics at the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. I take immense pride in having invested in Unitree as a fund partner prior to the first half of 2020. During my 2021 interview with 36Kr , which featured my discussion with founder Wang Xingxing—I spoke about my absolute confidence in this team. I also noted back then that Chinese policy would pivot toward providing strong support for this sector. Looking at where we are now, those predictions have fully come to fruition. Since the interview and the videos in the link all date back to 2021, this clearly isn't a case of Monday morning quarterbacking.

🔥🚨JUST IN: China just revealed the world’s first fully functionally production ready mecha suit that is able to punch through brick walls that looks like it came straight out of a Hollywood film. The Unitree GD01 Starts at $574,000. Designed and classified as a civilian vehicle, the GD01 weighs approximately 500 kilograms. The machine operates in bipedal mode, can punch through brick walls, and autonomously reconfigures into a quadruped form. Unitree founder Wang Xingxing personally piloted the GD01 in the official launch demonstration. Unitree is actively pursuing a public listing on China's STAR Market, with full year 2025 revenue reaching 1.7 billion yuan, a 335 percent increase year on year.

How humanoids move from "Kung Fu" mode to "Blue-collar" work 🤖🦾 Unitree founder Xingxing Wang just dropped some major truth bombs about the reality of robot labor at the HEIS meeting in Beijing Extreme mobility like the "Kung Fu" bot at the Gala is the prerequisite—stable movement is the foundation for robots to actually start working Unitree has been deploying humanoids at NIO and Geely since 2024 with a 100% success rate on single tasks like simple parts assembly The real challenge is long-sequence complex tasks with 20+ steps—success rates struggle here especially when handling tiny parts Whole-body teleoperation is the key technical breakthrough for capturing high-quality physical world data to solve the industry's data scarcity Standardization is now the priority—setting unified task metrics, evaluation systems, and safety baselines to move beyond one-off lab innovations In 2025 Unitree shipped over 5,500 humanoids with more than 6,500 units coming off the production line leading the global market in volume The end goal is clear—Unitree wants humanoids working in its own factories to manufacture even more robots, closing the automation loop Source: HEIS Annual Meeting #Robot #Humanoid #Robotics #AI #EmbodiedAI #PhysicalAI #Unitree #SmartManufacturing #Automation

Introducing WildDet3D, a grounding model for monocular 3D object detection in the wild. A question I keep coming back to is: what is the right backbone for robotics foundation models? Should it be a video model, a language model, or perhaps a grounding model? WildDet3D is our first step in exploring that direction.

Unitree G1 just crushed a brutal -47.4°C (-53.3°F) autonomous trek in the Altay wilderness. 🤖❄️ The team says it clocked 130,000 steps in that deep freeze for a 2026 Winter Olympics promo. Seeing a humanoid handle these extreme temps is actually insane. #Robotics #Humanoid #AI #EmbodiedAI #PhysicalAI #Unitree #G1

Wang Xingxing speaking at Unitree’s IPO roadshow. Unitree is now valued at ~$9B, putting his direct stake at roughly $2.1B on paper. And somehow he still looks like a nervous PhD student presenting his thesis to the committee 😂 Some things money just can’t change.
