Chinese robot company Unitree Robotics held an online investor meeting on Friday for its initial public offering (IPO) on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market, with Unitree founder Wang Xingxing saying the firm will continue to advance key software and hardware technologies and explore a broader range of product forms and models.
The company is set to become China's first publicly listed humanoid robot maker, representing an important milestone not only for Unitree itself but also for China's booming robotics industry. Greater access to capital will further accelerate technological innovation and promote the high-quality development of the robotics industry, an expert noted.
Speaking at the online investor meeting, Unitree founder Wang Xingxing said the firm will continue to advance key software and hardware technologies, including embodied AI foundation models, scenario-based data collection and analysis, reinforcement learning, embodied robot models, in-house development of core components, and high-performance actuators.
Wang revealed that the company is also actively exploring a broader range of product forms and models, including humanoid robots, quadruped robots and mecha robots, with the aim of enabling robots to take on physically demanding and high-risk tasks, freeing up human creativity and advancing robotics technology for the benefit of society.
Talking about the potential for the robotics industry, Wang said multiple factors are driving market demand, including an aging population, rising labor costs and growing demand for higher productivity and a better quality of life.
Against this backdrop, high-performance general-purpose robots capable of assisting humans with a wide range of tasks are emerging as an important solution to labor shortages and productivity bottlenecks, pointing to vast market potential, Wang noted.
Since its establishment, Unitree has focused on the research, development, production and sales of high-performance general-purpose humanoid robots, quadruped robots, robotic components and embodied AI models.
Reviewing the company's performance, Wang said his company has recorded steady growth in recent years. In 2025, while its net profit excluding non-recurring items grew rapidly, the company also ranked first globally in humanoid robot shipments.
Ahead of the roadshow, Unitree unveiled the pricing of its IPO and the results of its strategic placement. The company announced on Thursday that its IPO on the STAR Market was priced at 150.80 yuan per share.
Unitree will issue about 40.45 million shares, accounting for 10 percent of its total shares after the offering. The IPO is expected to raise about 6.1 billion yuan, exceeding its previously planned fundraising target of 4.2 billion yuan.
Unitree has attracted significant market attention and is expected to become the first humanoid robot company listed on China's A-share market, Liu Dingding, a veteran industry analyst, told the Global Times on Friday, noting that the company's upcoming listing would mark an important milestone not only for the company but also for China's robotics industry, which is accelerating its commercialization and market-oriented development.
More importantly, for Unitree, tapping the capital market will provide stronger support for sustained R&D investment and capacity expansion, Liu said, adding that "greater access to capital could significantly shorten R&D and market validation cycles that might otherwise take three to five years, further enhancing the global competitiveness of China's robotics industry."
The company is well aware that its current achievements are only a starting point, said Wang at Friday's roadshow. The embodied AI industry is still at an early stage of development, similar to the early days of home appliances and personal computers, and further progress will require joint efforts across the industry, he said.
Founded in 2016, Unitree mainly produces humanoid robots and quadruped robots. According to its prospectus, the company shipped more than 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025, ranking first globally. From 2023 to 2025, Unitree sold more than 33,000 quadruped robots, cementing its leading position in the global quadruped robot market.
The rapid growth of China's robotics industry is underpinned by the country's complete industrial chain and production capabilities. China is now home to more than 140 humanoid robot manufacturers, with annual shipments reaching 14,400 units, accounting for 84.7 percent of the global total, CCTV News reported. In other words, roughly eight out of every 10 humanoid robots shipped worldwide come from China.

美国东部时间3月8日的下午，美国佛罗里达州的居民亚历杭德罗·博特罗（Alejandro Otero）正在外旅游，而他独自在家的儿子打来的一通电话，让他不得不提前终止了这次旅行。当天下午2:34，一个从天而降的不明物体，突然砸中了他们位于那不勒斯市的房子。该物体击穿屋顶，穿过了两层楼，砸入了地板里。“当时发出了十分巨大的声音，（这个物体）差点就砸到我儿子了。”博特罗在接受当地媒体WINK News的采访时说道。图源：WINK News接到儿子电话后，博特罗的第一反应是陨石砸中了自己的房子。
二 | 但当他回到家，将这个物体从地板下取出来后，他发现这个 “天外来物”更有可能是人造的。“从顶部形状可以看出来，它最初应该是圆柱形的物体，在穿过大气层时，顶部金属在燃烧中融化
。” 博特罗说。

此次“高空抛物”，最大的嫌疑来自地球上空约400千米的国际空间站（International Space Station）。图源：NASA空间站丢的故事可能得从2018年10月的某天讲起。那天，美国航空航天局（NASA）宇航员尼克·黑格（Nick Hague）和俄罗斯宇航员阿列克谢·奥夫奇宁（Aleksey Ovchinin）本该在哈萨克斯坦乘着俄罗斯“联盟号”（Soyuz）运载火箭启程，前往国际空间站。然而，火箭在起飞不久后，助推器失灵，没能成功进入轨道，两位宇航员只能返回地面，没有按计划到达国际空间站。黑格此次前往国际空间站的任务之一是帮助空间站升级电力系统。他会到空间站外进行太空行走，帮助换掉原来的镍氢电池，并安装新的锂离子电池。可惜黑格并没有按时到达空间站。但问题是，第一批锂离子电池已经由日本的HTV货运飞船运送至了国际空间站。
四 | 原本的计划是，被这一批锂离子电池替换的旧镍氢电池，用同一艘HTV货运飞船带走。但由于黑格没能登上空间站，NASA只好暂时取消此次换电池的太空行走任务，将锂离子电池留在空间站，等待下一个能执行该任务的宇航员到来。

这艘HTV货运飞船也只能直接离开，并未带上镍氢电池。由于每艘飞船的载货量都是固定的，所以HTV货运飞船没办法一次性带走两倍数量的旧电池。于是，随后每一次HTV货运飞船运来新一批的锂离子电池，都会带走上一批替换下来的旧镍氢电池，直到2020年最后一艘HTV货运飞船离开国际空间站。但这时，空间站上还剩下最后一批镍氢电池没有带走。这个装有九块旧镍氢电池的货物托盘，编号为EP9，总重量相当于一辆大型SUV。后来，日本开始改用新的运载飞船，所以不再会有HTV运载飞船来到国际空间站了。而其它运载飞船的设计，比如SpaceX的龙飞船（Dragon），没有办法装下EP9将其运走。换句话说，只有HTV货运飞船，才能运走EP9，但HTV已经不会再来了。国际空间站的每寸空间都很宝贵，EP9这样的大物件，自然不能一直留在空间站上。

于是NASA做了一个决定，它们计划直接丢掉EP9——这也是国际空间站丢弃过的最大太空垃圾（space debris）。2021年3月11日，当国际空间站运行至中美洲以西太平洋上空约418千米处时， NASA的地面控制人员操控国际空间站上的机械臂，将EP9从空间站上释放，丢入了太空。当时NASA表示，EP9将会绕地球漂浮2至3年，然后坠入大气层，并在其中完全燃烧。空间站丢弃EP9大约三年后，在今年的3月8日，EP9终于完成了它在太空的旅程，在墨西哥湾的上空一头扎进地球大气层，开始剧烈燃烧。欧洲空间局（ESA）的“太空垃圾和独立安全办公室”（Space Debris and Independent Safety Offices）密切跟踪着EP9随后的动态。ESA表示：“电池的总质量估计为2.6吨，其中大部分可能在重返大气层期间燃烧殆尽。虽然有些部分可能会落到地面上，但伤亡风险（人员被击中的可能性）非常低。”而最后的结果大家已经知道了，EP9其中一块碎片并没有在重返大气层的过程中完全被烧掉，也并没有直接落入墨西哥湾，而是落向了旁边的佛罗里达，最终击中了亚历杭德罗·博特罗的房子。为了确认击中博特罗房子的物体就是EP9的碎片，NASA与博特罗取得了联系，将该物体送到了NASA位于佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心。通过分析该物体的尺寸、特征和材料，并将其与EP9上的硬件相对比，NASA最终确定，该物体是EP9上的一根支柱，用于将电池固定在货物托盘上，由铬镍铁合金制成，重 0.7kg，10cm，直径 4cm。

该物体与完好支柱对比被国际空间站扔入太空的EP9，只是众多太空垃圾的一个。人类越来越频繁的太空活动，也让太空垃圾越来越多。根据ESA的数据，截至2023年10月6日，人类已经成功向太空发射了约6500枚火箭，在地球轨道上放置了约16990颗卫星，尚在工作的有9000颗。而停止工作的卫星、火箭推进器、航天器和空间站丢弃的物件……充满了地球上空的轨道，成为了太空垃圾。目前，仅美国“空间监视网”（Space Surveillance Network，SSN）定期跟踪的太空垃圾数量就约为35150，而实际太空垃圾数量只会更多。这些太空垃圾的积累让地球上空变得越来越拥挤，为以后和当下的太空任务造成了很多困扰。国际空间站就曾多次为避开太空垃圾，而调整轨道。

至于太空垃圾对地面的影响。ESA表示，大约每一周就会有一个较大的空间物体通过大气层冲入地球，不过大部分碎片在到达地面之前就已经完全燃烧了。大多数航天器、运载火箭和运行硬件的设计都是为了尽量让其在大气层中完全燃烧，从而降低相关风险。但此次EP9事件告诉我们，太空垃圾也可能会威胁地面。事实上，这已经不是第一次太空垃圾砸向地面，并威胁人身安全的事件了。据《纽约时报》（The New York Times）报道，1969年，苏联航天器的碎片击中了西伯利亚海岸附近的一艘日本小船，造成 5 人受伤。据福克斯新闻（Fox News）、ABC新闻（ABC News）等多家媒体报道，1997年，美国俄克拉荷马州的一位居民也曾被火箭的碎片击中过肩膀。不过，大家也不用过于恐慌，毕竟被太空垃圾击中的概率非常非常小，而且世界各国也在积极尝试太空垃圾的清理办法，如英国2018年就开始部署“清除碎片”系统，相信未来我们可以还太空一个干净的环境。[1]https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2024/04/15/nasa-completes-analysis-of-recovered-space-object/[2]https://images.nasa.gov/details/iss064e041512[3]https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/Reentry_of_International_Space_Station_ISS_batteries_into_Earth_s_atmosphere[4]https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/About_space_debris[5]https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/Space_debris_by_the_numbers[6]https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/04/trash-from-the-international-space-station-may-have-hit-a-house-in-florida/2/[7]https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/space-junk-from-the-international-space-station-may-have-struck-a-home-in/[8]https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/10/a-soyuz-crew-makes-an-emergency-landing-after-rocket-fails/[9]https://www.nytimes.com/1969/07/05/archives/soviet-space-debris-hits-japanese-ship-injuring-5.html[10] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01718[11]https://www.foxnews.com/science/woman-hit-by-space-junk-lives-to-tell-the-tale[12]https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=98700&page=1 。
