In Hangzhou's science and technology circle, Unitree Technology is undoubtedly a bright star, and is known as the leader of the "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" along with DeepSeek. Although the company's name may sound elusive at first glance, its main business may be elusive for a while, but when it comes to the brilliant performance at the World Robot Conference in Beijing last year, and the smash hit handkerchief dancing robot "Yang BOT" in the Spring Festival Gala in 2025, the name of Unitree Technology jumps in front of you.
"Yang BOT", this smart and cute robot image, is the proud work of Unitree Technology. It has not only attracted widespread attention in China, but also attracted the attention of international technology giants.
Recently, the news that Unitree Technology has achieved profitability since 2020 has spread in the industry. This news comes from an interview with Zhao Nan, an early investor of Unitree, who revealed that Unitree's financial statements for the past five years have shown a profitable status. This news undoubtedly brought a lot of shock to the outside world, after all, the robot industry has long been regarded as synonymous with "burning money", even industry giants like Boston Dynamics, have changed hands many times due to profitability problems.
However, Unitree Technology has broken the curse of this industry with practical actions. With its self-developed core technology and self-built factory, Unitree stands out in the fierce market competition. The company's marketing person gave a positive response to the profitability, and his words revealed full of confidence.
The brilliant achievements of Unitree Technology are inseparable from the perseverance and persistence of its founder Wang Xingxing. As a technology enthusiast, Wang Xingxing's love for robots has almost reached the level of obsession. His early experience in researching quadruped robots in the laboratory of Shanghai University laid a solid foundation for the birth of Unitree. Nowadays, Unitree Technology's robots have been able to complete difficult actions such as sideflips and carp fighting, and can even compete with real people, and their technical strength is breathtaking.
宇樹科技的崛起,不僅為公司自身帶來了顯著的商業效益,也帶動了整個機器人產業鏈的發展。以寧波某減速器企業為例,他們看到了機器人行業的巨大潛力,預計今年將銷售8萬台用於人形機器人的減速器。像寧波這樣的製造業城市,也開始反思為何本土沒有孕育出宇樹科技這樣的行業翹楚。
In fact, the success of Unitree and companies such as DeepSeek, also in Hangzhou, is not accidental. The founders of these companies all studied in Hangzhou and had been deeply involved in the industry for many years before the explosion. Hangzhou's efforts to retain talent and support innovation and entrepreneurship have provided fertile ground for the rise of these companies.
The development history of Unitree Technology is a microcosm of the transformation of Chinese technology companies. From an entrepreneur who was once regarded as "generating electricity with love" to an industry leader who is now profitable with excellent technology, Unitree has proved the growth and transformation of Chinese technology enterprises with practical actions. They no longer blindly follow in the footsteps of others, but have the courage to open up new paths and lead the development trend of the industry.
