Can you buy Unitree Robotics stock?

Not yet. The IPO registration was approved on July 3, 2026 and Unitree is finalizing pricing for a Shanghai STAR Market debut reported as early as late July — roughly RMB 4.2 billion (~$618 million) raised at a ~$5.9 billion implied valuation. STAR Market shares aren't directly tradable by most non-Chinese retail investors at debut, and until a ticker exists, any 'Unitree shares' offer is not the real thing.

How much do Unitree robots cost?

From the official store as of July 16, 2026: the G1 humanoid is $13,500 and orderable, the R1 starts at $4,900, and the Go2 robot dog runs $1,600 to $4,500 plus $399–$1,000 shipping. The H1 lists at $90,000 and H2 at $29,900 with ordering disabled, and industrial models (B2, A2, H2 Plus) show a $100,000 contact-sales placeholder.

Is Unitree a Chinese company?

Yes — founded in 2016 in Hangzhou by Wang Xingxing. That matters for buyers two ways: its prices undercut Western rivals by roughly 10x, and its robots are effectively excluded from US and allied government procurement, which is why agencies buy Boston Dynamics and Ghost Robotics instead.

What is Unitree's cheapest robot?

The Go2 Air robot dog at $1,600 (plus shipping) is the cheapest real robot; the R1 at $4,900 is the cheapest humanoid from any major maker, and the $13,500 G1 is the cheapest full-featured humanoid you can actually order.

Does Unitree ship to the US?

Yes for consumer models — the Go2, G1 and R1 ship internationally from the official store, with shipping fees of roughly $399 to $1,000 depending on the robot. Industrial models go through sales conversations rather than checkout.

Unitree Robotics is the company that turned humanoid and quadruped robots from lab demos into products with checkout buttons: it shipped more than 5,500 humanoids in 2025 per its IPO prospectus, its $13,500 G1 is the default answer to "cheapest real humanoid," and its Go2 robot dog starts at $1,600. It is also days from becoming the world's first publicly listed pure-play humanoid maker. This hub covers the company, every current robot with live store prices, the IPO status, and where each of our detailed reviews fits.

The company behind the robots

Founded in 2016 in Hangzhou by Wang Xingxing, Unitree built its business on quadrupeds that undercut Western rivals by an order of magnitude, and Chinese makers led by Unitree and Deep Robotics now dominate the commercial robot-dog market. The IPO prospectus discloses 2025 revenue of RMB 1.69 billion (about $235 million) with an adjusted profit, rare among humanoid startups that mostly burn cash. Its cultural breakout moment came when its H1 humanoids danced on China's 2026 Spring Festival Gala, which we analyzed in our Spring Festival performance breakdown. Unitree is also one of the signatories of the 2022 open letter against weaponizing general-purpose robots, alongside Boston Dynamics.

Every Unitree robot, priced from the live store

Prices below are from shop.unitree.com as of July 16, 2026. A pattern to know: Unitree lists several industrial models at a flat $100,000 with ordering disabled; that figure is a contact-sales placeholder, not a real price.

Humanoids. The G1 is $13,500 and actually orderable, which is why it anchors every cheapest-humanoid conversation. The smaller R1 starts at $4,900, the cheapest legged humanoid from a major maker. The full-size H1 lists at $90,000 with checkout disabled, and the newer H2 is listed at $29,900 but is not currently orderable either, with the H2 Plus carrying the $100,000 placeholder. In practice: consumer money buys a G1 or R1 today; the full-size machines are sales conversations.

Quadrupeds. The Go2 runs $1,600 (Air) to $4,500 depending on trim, plus $399 to $1,000 shipping, and is the value benchmark of the whole robot-dog category; the wheeled Go2-W and industrial B2, B2-W and A2 sit behind contact-sales placeholders, and the legacy AlienGo still lists at $50,000. The Go1 remains the used-market budget entry. Our robot dogs guide ranks them against everything else on the market.

Unitree Robotics stock and the IPO

You cannot buy Unitree stock yet. China's securities regulator approved the company's registration on July 3, 2026, the fastest approval in the STAR Market's history, and Unitree is finalizing pricing to sell at least 40.45 million shares, at least a 10% stake, raising roughly RMB 4.2 billion (about $618 million) at an implied valuation near RMB 42 billion (about $5.9 billion). Reports point to a Shanghai debut as early as late July. Two practical notes: the listing is on Shanghai's STAR Market, which most non-Chinese retail investors cannot trade directly at debut, and until the ticker exists, anyone offering you "Unitree shares" is selling something else. We track the dated developments in our humanoid robot news tracker. The full tradable landscape, proxies included, is in our humanoid robot stocks guide.

How Unitree compares

Unitree's position is price-performance, not polish. Against Tesla's Optimus the comparison is shipping-versus-promised, which our Optimus vs G1 analysis covers in detail. Against Boston Dynamics, Unitree sells a $2,800 Go2 while a configured Spot costs six figures; the premium buys enterprise software, support and procurement acceptability that Chinese vendors cannot offer US government buyers. In the consumer and research market, that trade usually lands in Unitree's favor, which is why its robots fill our humanoid rankings. The other side of that trade is mapped in our Boston Dynamics hub.

Where to go next

Start with the G1 review if you are pricing a humanoid, the Go2 review if you want the robot dog, and the R1 vs G1 comparison if you are deciding between the two humanoids. The IPO story updates on the news tracker as filings land.
