Unitree Technology, New High! Releases Four-Legged Robot Dog Product Unitree A2
Following the release of the new bipedal robot product Unitree R1, Unitree has now released a new four-legged robot dog product called Unitree A2.
On August 5th, Unitree Technology released the new four-legged robot dog product Unitree A2. The entire machine weighs approximately 37 kg, has an unloaded endurance of 20 km, and a maximum running speed of 5 meters per second. The product can climb to a height of 1 meter.
According to the video demonstration, A2 is able to move smoothly on uneven terrain with rocks and sand, as well as effortlessly climb stone steps. Additionally, it can carry a person weighing 100 kg and standing 175 cm tall on its back, equipped with a super-wide-angle laser radar 3D perception system that can detect objects in the wild. However, the official price and release date have not been announced, emphasizing that "it's born for industrial applications."
It is worth noting that just on July 25th, Unitree Technology released its third-generation humanoid robot "Unitree R1 intelligent partner". The most prominent feature of R1 is its low price, with a starting price of 3.99 million yuan, supporting development and customization, weighing approximately 25 kg, with a total of 26 joints, including both legs, arms, hands, waist, and head, and integrating voice and image multimodal big models to support voice recognition and image recognition.
According to the demonstration video, R1 demonstrated flips, punches, wrestling, and other actions. Unitree Technology also defines R1 as a "platform-level product born for sports."
Compared with the previous G19.9 million yuan price, R1's 3.99 million yuan price has again made Unitree Technology a leader in the industry, not only refreshing the market price bottom line for humanoid robots but also opening up new possibilities for individual developers, research institutions, and potential consumers.
With the release of R1 and A2 products, Unitree has already released a series of four-legged robot dog products such as XDog, Laikago, AlienGo, A1, Go1, B1, Go2, B2, and A2, as well as humanoid robots H1, H1-2, G1, R1, etc. The company has already established a solid foundation for further scale development in terms of product maturity and market expansion.
Compared with other humanoid robot companies, Unitree Technology's progress in commercialization is faster. At the Tianjin Summer Davos Forum held in June, Unitree Technology founder Wang Xingxing publicly revealed the company's latest operating data for 2024: revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan, a significant increase over the previous year, making it one of the few robot companies that has achieved profitability.
According to public information, Unitree Technology's star product, the four-legged robot dog Unitree Go1, has sold more than 50,000 units, occupying a market share of over 60% in the global consumer-grade quadruped robot market. Additionally, Unitree Technology's robot solutions for industrial, patrol, and logistics scenarios have already achieved scaled applications.
Furthermore, on July 18th, the China Securities Regulatory Commission website showed that Unitree Technology has filed a registration statement with the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Financial Affairs. According to the guidance work arrangement, the guiding agency will comprehensively evaluate whether Unitree Technology meets the listing requirements from October to December 2025 and assist the company in preparing its first public offering application documents. This means that according to broker guidance plans, Unitree Technology may submit its IPO application as early as October this year.
According to a research report by Wanli Securities, the IPO will likely further expand Unitree Technology's financing channels, injecting funds into high-density electric motor, lightweight materials, and smart algorithms. As the benchmark company goes public, it may replicate Tesla's effect on new energy cars, driving the market from "concept hype" to "performance realization," with Unitree Technology having an advantage in terms of funds after listing, which will squeeze out small players in the industry and drive the industry towards "technological leaders."
For China's humanoid robot industry, if Unitree Technology is successful in its IPO, it will further boost investment enthusiasm, promote industry chain coordination, and help China's robot industry maintain its leading position globally.
