Unitree confirmed it: over 5,500 humanoid robots delivered in 2025 (6,500+ built). The base G1 costs $13,500 - mass production at a price that changes the rules.
- Unitree officially confirmed: over 5,500 humanoid robots delivered in 2025, over 6,500 built (22 January).
- The count is 'pure humanoids' only, no wheeled dual-arm platforms.
- The base G1 costs $13,500 - mass production at a price that shifts the market.
Unitree put out an official clarification of its 2025 sales, after a wave of online speculation. The numbers speak for themselves. The Chinese company is delivering humanoids in quantities that sounded impossible until recently.
No fluff - the number that matters is the price. $13,500 for a walking, programmable humanoid shifts the category from 'corporate project' to 'affordable tool'. When something gets ten times cheaper, uses show up that nobody planned for.
While the West argues over the perfect humanoid, China is flooding the market with 'good enough' at a low price. Tech history has shown this before - volume and price often beat perfection. (To be fair: Unitree doesn't say what applications these units are used for, or where.)
Unitree doesn't publish what real applications or markets the delivered units are used for.
