5,500 units versus 150. The gap isn't just wide; it's a chasm. Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics just proved that when it comes to mass-producing humanoids, China is moving at a different speed. In 2025, the company's shipments completely eclipsed those of its high-profile American rivals.

Unitree Humanoid Robot Shipments 2025: Surpassing US Peers

According to sources familiar with the matter and reports from 36Kr, Unitree shipped more than 5,500 full-body bipedal humanoid robots last year. To put that in perspective, market research firm Omdia estimates that Tesla, Figure AI, and Agility Robotics each shipped only around 150 units during the same period.
