First humanoid-robot maker to list on a public market

Unitree Robotics — Shanghai STAR Market (688836) — Unitree began trading on Shanghai's STAR Market on 19 Aug 2026, the first humanoid-robot maker to reach a public market anywhere. The stock rose as much as ~630% intraday and closed the debut up ~460% at 845 yuan, valuing the company near $50B — an order of magnitude above the ~$7B private mark set months earlier. Unitree's revenue still comes mostly from quadrupeds and components rather than humanoids, and the shares gave back a large part of the debut gain in the following days; the milestone is the listing itself, not the price.
