Unitree Robotics has finished its mandatory IPO guidance process with CITIC Securities, moving it one step closer to potentially becoming China’s first publicly traded humanoid robotics company.

The UK startup partners with QSS AI & Robotics to launch the MENA region’s first humanoid showroom, backed by a massive—albeit non-binding—framework for up to 10,000 robots.

New demonstrations highlight the humanoid robot’s integration of large language models, its ability to recover from stumbles on construction debris, and a streamlined "out-of-box" experience for developers.

As Sunday Robotics emerges from stealth, a wave of senior engineers from Tesla's Autopilot and Optimus teams have confirmed their defection, citing a desire to return to the rapid innovation culture of early autonomy.

Goldman Sachs analyst Jacqueline Du predicts a transition period of "dedicated purpose" robots like tour guides and entertainers before general-purpose autonomy arrives, noting that Chinese suppliers are aggressively building capacity despite a reliance on U.S. silicon.
