The Unitree G1, a standout humanoid robot, has achieved a significant production milestone, with approximately 10,000 to 20,000 units manufactured since its debut in May 2024. Unitree Technology founder Wang Xingxing announced this impressive figure at the 2026 World Physical AI Conference and Unitree Partner Ecosystem Conference, proclaiming the G1 as the world’s best-selling humanoid robot.
A Flourishing Ecosystem and Market Impact
The conference itself, themed “Ten Years Together, Trees and Industries Coexisting,” drew over 3,000 guests and featured a 4,000-square-meter main forum alongside more than 40 exhibition areas. The positive reception and market anticipation surrounding Unitree’s advancements were evident in its stock performance. On October 19, 2026, Unitree Technology’s share price surged by over 17% in intraday trading, briefly surpassing 500 yuan per share. By the close of trading that day, the company’s total market capitalization had returned to 200 billion yuan, with shares trading at 495.92 yuan.

Unveiling the Unitree G1: Power and Potential
The Unitree G1 humanoid robot, officially launched on May 13, 2024, is positioned as a “humanoid intelligent agent, AI avatar.” It is available starting at 99,000 yuan and comes in two versions: the standard G1 and the G1 EDU, which offers optional configurations for educational purposes.
Designed with a weight of approximately 35kg and a height of about 127cm, the G1 is equipped with 23 to 43 joint motors, capable of delivering a maximum torque of 120 N·m. This robust hardware allows the robot to support both imitation and reinforcement learning-driven movements.
At the core of the G1’s intelligence is the UnifoLM (Unitree Robot Unified Large Model), an advanced AI model that enables sophisticated interaction and task execution. The robot is further enhanced by integrated 3D LiDAR and depth cameras, providing comprehensive environmental perception. With an endurance of approximately 2 hours on a single charge, the Unitree G1 is engineered for practical application and extended operation, paving the way for widespread adoption in various fields.
The company’s rapid production scale and market claims suggest a strong competitive edge in the burgeoning humanoid robotics sector. As the technology continues to evolve, Unitree G1’s trajectory as a leading, commercially successful humanoid robot appears well-established.
