Unitree Robotics

Every technology has a company that makes it real for the masses, and in legged robotics that company is Unitree. Founded in Hangzhou in 2016 by engineer Wang Xingxing, Unitree Robotics took two of the hardest machines in existence, the four legged robot and the humanoid, and did what nobody else could: manufactured them at scale, priced them within reach and shipped them everywhere, making Unitree robot dogs the default quadruped of research labs, industry and viral videos worldwide, and Unitree humanoids the best selling bipeds on earth.

The numbers define the category. Unitree shipped more than 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025 alone, the highest volume of any maker, while its quadrupeds count tens of thousands of units across more than 60 countries. Its machines performed history's firsts, the first electric humanoid backflip by the H1, synchronized robot dog troupes dancing on the biggest stages in broadcasting, and in July 2026, Unitree's IPO was approved for Shanghai's STAR Market, positioning it as China's first listed pure play humanoid and quadruped company and cementing the financial foundation beneath its lead.

The lineup spans the humanoid family, from the accessible R1 and the world's most popular humanoid, the G1, to the flagship H2, the quadruped family led by the Go2, A2 and industrial B2, and a complete accessories ecosystem. The full range of Unitree robots for sale can be explored through the Unitree catalog on this page.

The Unitree Humanoid Lineup

Unitree G1: The World's Most Popular Humanoid

The G1 made humanoid robotics a global research standard: a 1.32 meter biped with up to 43 degrees of freedom, dexterous force controlled options and the agility for running, jumping and dynamic recovery, at accessibility that put it into universities, labs and companies on every continent. Backed by Unitree's open sourced vision language action models and the industry's largest user community, the G1 is where more humanoid development happens than on any other platform, with the wheeled G1-D extending the family into the wheeled humanoid format for manipulation focused deployment.

Unitree R1: The Accessibility Breakthrough

The R1 shattered the humanoid price floor: an ultra light, roughly 25 kg biped that brought two legged robotics to individual developers, schools and small labs, the most affordable humanoid from any major manufacturer and the widest gate yet opened into the field.

Unitree H1, H1-2 and H2: The Flagship Line

The H1 and H1-2 wrote Unitree into robotics history, the H1 performed the world's first electric humanoid backflip and set legged speed records, while the flagship H2 brings full human proportions at 180 cm with computing options up to 2,070 TOPS of NVIDIA Jetson Thor, the frontier platform for embodied AI research and the anchor of the bipedal humanoid category's top tier.

Humanoid Accessories

Deployments run on the humanoid accessories tree: batteries, chargers, remote controllers, development gantries and dexterous hands, the operational layer that keeps fleets running.

The Unitree Quadruped Lineup

Unitree Go2: The World's Robot Dog

The Go2 is the most recognizable quadruped on earth, a LiDAR equipped, AI enabled robot dog agile enough for research and affordable enough for enthusiasts, offered in Go2 Air, Go2 Pro and wheeled Go2-W editions with a dedicated accessories line. Its predecessor Go1 opened the category; the Go2 made it mainstream, including troupes of over a hundred dancing in synchrony on China's most watched broadcasts.

Unitree A2 and AS2: The Explorer Class

The A2 "Stellar Explorer" is the endurance and payload professional, built for patrol, inspection and logistics missions with searchlight and sensing payloads that turn night into information, joined by the AS2 advancing the class, the platforms behind serious security and inspection deployments.

Unitree B2 and the Industrial Tier

The B2 is the industrial flagship: serious payload, endurance and all terrain capability for substations, plants, construction sites and perimeters, with its own accessories, following the pioneering B1 and AlienGo platforms that built Unitree's industrial reputation, supported by quadruped batteries, chargers and the wider quadruped accessories range.

Technology and Specifications

Actuators That Changed the Economics

Unitree's foundation is vertical integration: self developed high torque density joint motors, reducers and controllers manufactured at scale, the engineering that collapsed legged robotics from six figure lab equipment to accessible products without surrendering the performance that lands backflips and survives shoves.

Learning Based Motion at the Frontier

Reinforcement learning trained locomotion gives Unitree machines their signature athleticism, dynamic balance, terrain adaptation, recovery from kicks and slips, demonstrated publicly from combat sport exhibitions to synchronized swarm choreography, while open sourced vision language action models invite the world's developers to build the intelligence layer on Unitree hardware.

Perception and Positioning

Across the range, 4D LiDAR, depth cameras and inertial sensing fuse into the navigation that carries Go2s through living rooms and B2s across substations, with flagship platforms adding the computing headroom, up to 2,070 TOPS, for onboard embodied AI.

The Ecosystem Advantage

The industry's largest installed base compounds: the biggest developer community, the deepest third party accessory and payload market, comprehensive support resources including dedicated G1 support, and now public market financing behind capacity, the network effects that keep Unitree the default choice.

Applications and Use Cases

Research and Education

The G1, R1 and Go2 anchor research and education worldwide, the platforms on which embodied AI is taught, benchmarked and published more than any other.

Industrial Inspection and Security

B2 and A2 fleets patrol substations, plants and perimeters across industrial, security and emergency response missions, carrying thermal, searchlight and sensing payloads over terrain wheels cannot cross.

Entertainment, Sport and Events

From gala broadcasts to robot boxing and sports entertainment, Unitree machines are the most booked performers in robotics, headlining exhibitions and activations worldwide.

Development Toward Deployment

Enterprises across warehouse and commercial robotics build on Unitree platforms as the pipeline from pilot to production, the on ramp through which humanoid programs enter the field.

Consumer and Enthusiast Robotics

The Go2 and R1 tier brings legged robotics into consumer reach, the enthusiast base that made robot dogs a cultural phenomenon.
