May 26, 2026 – Unitree Robotics, one of the rising stars among Hangzhou’s so-called “Six Little Dragons,” is gearing up for what could be a landmark debut on China’s A-share market. The Shanghai Stock Exchange’s listing review committee has scheduled its 31st session for June 1, 2026, where the company’s initial public offering application will be put under the microscope.
If approved, Unitree would claim the title of the first humanoid robot company to list on the STAR Market, a milestone that has drawn significant attention from investors and industry watchers alike. The company first filed its IPO paperwork in late March, with the exchange officially accepting the application on March 20 — marking another successful entry into the pre-review pipeline for STAR Market listings.
Founded back in August 2016, Unitree has grown into a notable player in the smart robotics space, with a registered capital of roughly 364 million yuan (approximately $50 million). Its business spans the development and sale of intelligent robots as well as industrial robot manufacturing.
According to the prospectus submitted ahead of the upcoming hearing, Unitree is looking to raise around 4.2 billion yuan (about $580 million). The funds are earmarked for four key initiatives, including R&D for intelligent robot models and the development of robot hardware platforms.
With its IPO now just days away from a critical review stage, all eyes are on whether Unitree can clear the final hurdle and make history as the first publicly traded humanoid robot firm on China’s mainland exchanges.
