Positioning

RoboParty is a Chinese maker of what it calls the world's first full-stack open-source biped (the ROBOTO ORIGIN, January 2026; 1,000+ GitHub stars, ~100 devkit pre-orders). Its funding is conflicting across sources (a $10M round with MPCi/Xiaomi/Galbot versus a relayed Shunwei-led round).

Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.

Positioning

Unitree is the Chinese humanoid and quadruped leader (Shanghai STAR Market IPO in August 2026, ~$905M raised at ~$9B, closing up ~460-542% day one) that shipped 5,500 humanoids in 2025 (world #1 per its prospectus) with FY25 revenue of RMB 1.71B (~$250M, +335%) at ~60% gross margin, humanoids now 51.5% of core revenue. Its H2 full-size humanoid ships at $29,900 (the cheapest on the market) and its G1 at $13,500, with a $100K NVIDIA GR00T reference platform due late 2026, targeting ~20,000 humanoid shipments in 2026. A critical mix flag: >70% of 2025 humanoid sales were research and educational buyers, with industrial deployments under 10% of revenue, so its shipment count and its useful-work count are very different things.
