About Unitree

Unitree Robotics was founded in 2016 in Hangzhou, China, and has rapidly become one of the most influential companies in advanced robotics. Known for breaking the price barrier on high-performance legged robots, Unitree makes bipedal and quadruped robotics accessible to research labs and developers worldwide. Their humanoid lineup — including the G1 and H1 — competes with platforms costing 5–10× more from Western competitors. With a fully open ROS2 ecosystem and an active developer community, Unitree is the go-to brand for serious robotics research on a budget. The H1 holds the world record for bipedal walking speed at 3.3 m/s, while the G1 offers up to 43 degrees of freedom at $18,801.
