On July 4, it was reported that the 2026 Yabuli Forum Innovation Annual Conference took place in Shanghai from July 3 to 4. During the conference, Chen Li, co-founder of Unitree Technology, emphasized that the company has achieved self-sufficiency in the research, development, and production of core components, laying a solid technological foundation at the fundamental level. This positions Unitree with the capacity for independent innovation and manufacturing across a comprehensive product lineup, including quadruped robots, humanoid robots, robotic arms, pump bodies, and dexterous hands, catering to a broad spectrum of application scenarios.

Addressing external perceptions that joint motors are heavily reliant on external procurement, Chen Li clarified that Unitree has developed all core technologies for its joint motors in-house, with upstream dependencies limited solely to basic raw materials such as copper wires and magnets. This ensures a fully autonomous and controllable supply chain. He highlighted that with the self-development of a complete set of core technologies, Unitree’s products excel in cost-effectiveness, reliability, stability, and consistency, setting industry benchmarks.

Furthermore, the company continues to channel significant resources into the research and development of core technologies, including robot control, perception, navigation, and AI algorithms, and has secured multiple patents in these areas.
