RECATOOLS Verdict

Unitree makes the most affordable capable legged robots on the market, and its open SDKs, ROS 2 support and published models make them a natural platform for embodied-AI research and teaching. It is hardware, not software: the advertised prices exclude tax and shipping, the research-grade EDU versions require a sales quote, and software maturity varies by model. Now a listed company with fast-growing humanoid sales. A strong choice for labs, universities and developers; confirm EDU pricing and SDK access before ordering.

What we found

Unitree Robotics, known in Chinese as 宇树科技, makes legged robots: quadrupeds such as the Go2, the As2 and the industrial B2 and A2, and humanoids including the low-cost R1, the G1 and the full-size H1 and H2. They are sold mainly to universities, research labs, schools and developers, and are widely used for embodied-AI research. Developers control them through official SDKs, including unitree_sdk2 and unitree_ros2 under the BSD 3-Clause licence, and Unitree publishes code for teleoperation, reinforcement learning, LeRobot integration and its UnifoLM vision-language-action and world models on GitHub. It is robot hardware rather than an AI software product, and nothing about it is free beyond the open-source code.

Wang Xingxing founded Unitree in Hangzhou in 2016. The company listed on Shanghai's STAR Market on 19 August 2026 under the code 688836, raising 6.1 billion yuan, about $904 million, and its shares rose more than 460 per cent on the first day. Its prospectus reported 2025 revenue of 1.708 billion yuan, up 335 per cent, and adjusted net profit of 600 million yuan; humanoids overtook quadrupeds as its largest robot business in 2025, with more than 5,500 shipped that year, and research and education accounted for about three-quarters of humanoid sales. Fortune reported that almost 45 per cent of 2025 revenue came from abroad.

Prices exclude tax and shipping. The Go2 starts at $1,600 for the Air, $2,800 for the Pro and $4,500 for the X; the R1 humanoid costs $4,900 for the Air and $5,900 for the standard model; the G1 starts at $13,500, or $21,500 for the Pro; the 1.82-metre H2 is $29,900; and the As2 costs $3,100 or $4,650. EDU versions with full SDK access, and the B2, A2, H1 and H2 Plus, are sold through sales.

Unitree suits research and education buyers wanting capable robots at low prices.
