// OVERVIEW

About Unitree G1

The Unitree G1 changed the economics of humanoid robotics. At a starting price of $13,500, it brought a full-size-capable bipedal humanoid within reach of university labs, startups, and individual developers who could never justify a six-figure platform.

That accessibility has made the G1 one of the most widely adopted humanoid platforms globally, fueling a wave of research and open-source development. Unitree's manufacturing scale — built on years of quadruped robot production — lets it hit price points competitors struggle to match.

Unitree cleared its June 1 STAR Market listing hearing and listed on 19 August 2026, becoming the first pure-play humanoid robot company to go public. The stock opened up 629% and closed its debut up 460%, near a ~$50B valuation, on roughly $904M raised — then gave back more than a third within two sessions. The prospectus showed explosive revenue growth alongside rising R&D investment, with more than 70% of revenue coming from research and education rather than industrial work.
