  • Unitree described the machine as a new full robot with 0.85-metre legs.
  • The 2-metre jump and 12.66 m/s speed are company-reported demonstration figures.
  • The company said development took just over three months and that the prototype still required substantial refinement.

Develops quadruped and humanoid robots, with strength in dynamic locomotion, vertically integrated hardware, and relatively low-cost commercial deployment. Unitree is one of the clearest examples of a legged robotics company moving from research visibility into real productisation and broader market distribution.
