What it builds

The G1 changed the economics of the field. At $13,500 it put a capable bipedal humanoid within reach of universities, startups and individual developers. Unitree's years of quadruped production let it hit prices rivals struggle to match. The full-size H1 starts at $90,000. It reaches 3.3 m/s and has worked at Tokyo's Haneda Airport in a three-year program with Japan Airlines.

The listing

Unitree priced its STAR Market IPO on 6 August 2026, raising about ¥6.1 billion (around $904 million). It debuted on 19 August, opening at ¥1,100, 629% above the ¥150.80 IPO price, and briefly worth about $66 billion. It closed the day at ¥845, up 460%, near $50 billion. That was above Figure's $39 billion private mark, and the stock gave back more than a third within two sessions.

The prospectus explains the caution. More than 70% of revenue comes from research and education, and only about 9% from industrial work.
