China’s Unitree ships more than 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025, surpassing US peers

That number – covering “pure” full-body, bipedal humanoid models – exceeded those of its American peers such as Tesla, Figure AI and Agility Robotics, which shipped 150 humanoid robots each last year, according to market research firm Omdia.Unitree saw its annual output exceed 6,000 units, according to the source. Both the shipment and output figures excluded wheeled models and the firm’s other robot products, the person said.Unitree declined to comment on the figures, which were first reported on Monday by Chinese tech media outlet 36Kr.The reported shipments would put Unitree at the forefront of the country’s top humanoid robot manufacturers last year, as the industry accelerated commercialisation efforts amid growing competition.Shanghai-based rival AgiBot expected its 2025 shipment to exceed 5,000 units and generate more than 1 billion yuan (US$142 million) in revenue for the full year, according to chairman and CEO Deng Taihua in late December.In separate reports earlier this month, Omdia and Counterpoint Research both ranked AgiBot on top of the global humanoid robot market in terms of shipments and installations.
