Yes—Unitree Robotics is publicly traded in mainland China. Its A-shares began trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market on 19 August 2026 under code 688836. That six-digit code is not a Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange ticker.
The number beside a Unitree robot is a different thing. US$13,500 is the official starting product price for a G1 robot, not Unitree’s stock price. This page keeps those two questions separate.
Unitree stock: the direct answer
| Question | Verified answer on 28 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Is Unitree Robotics public? | Yes, through a mainland China A-share listing |
| Company on the exchange | 宇树科技 — Unitree Technology |
| Stock code | 688836 |
| Market | Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market |
| First trading date | 19 August 2026 |
| Is 688836 a U.S. ticker? | No; it is the mainland listing code |
| Is a U.S. listing identified? | The official listing records reviewed here identify the Shanghai A-share, not a Nasdaq or NYSE listing |
| Live stock price | Not reproduced here; use a licensed live market service and confirm the currency, exchange and timestamp |
China’s securities regulator approved Unitree’s IPO registration on 1 July 2026. The Shanghai Stock Exchange then announced that trading would begin on 19 August, under the security name 宇树科技 and code 688836. Those primary records settle the listing identity. They do not settle what a particular investor is permitted to buy.
Can an American buy Unitree stock?
There is no responsible universal yes-or-no answer. Access to a mainland STAR Market A-share can depend on the broker, country of residence, account type, investor eligibility, available market-access route and current regulation.
For a U.S. reader, the practical check is:
- Search the broker by the exact company name Unitree Technology, Chinese name 宇树科技, exchange Shanghai STAR Market and code 688836.
- Confirm that the result is the mainland A-share—not a similarly named security, fund, derivative or private-market listing.
- Ask the broker whether the account is eligible to trade that exact security and what fees, currency conversion, tax reporting and market rules apply.
- Treat a missing result as “not available through this route,” not as proof that Unitree is still private.
This is an identity check, not a recommendation to buy or sell. A page cannot determine suitability, eligibility or current market access for an individual account.
How much does a Unitree robot cost?
Unitree’s official store currently shows multiple products and configurations. The figures below are manufacturer-listed base prices checked on 28 August 2026. They are not delivered U.S. totals.
| Product | Type | Official listed price | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1-D | humanoid development model | from US$4,290 | contact sales; customs duties excluded |
| R1 | compact humanoid | from US$4,900 | configuration and purchase terms require a live recheck |
| G1 | humanoid | US$13,500 | tax and shipping excluded; standard G1 is not the EDU development edition |
| H2 | full-size humanoid | US$29,900 | tax and shipping excluded; EDU configuration is separate |
| H2 Plus | humanoid | US$100,000 | contact-sales product; configuration matters |
| Go2 | quadruped “robot dog” | from US$1,600 | selected variants cost more; shipping, tax and customs are extra |
The lowest number in a collection page is not automatically the configuration shown in a viral demonstration. Hands, compute modules, controllers, development interfaces, batteries, software support and custom integration can change both capability and price.
The G1’s US$13,500 price does not buy every demo
Unitree’s G1 page lists US$13,500 before tax and shipping. It also says the standard G1 does not support secondary development and directs development users toward the EDU edition. The manufacturer warns that the humanoid industry remains at an early stage and that some sample functions shown on the page are still under development and testing.
So “Can I buy a G1?” and “Will the retail G1 reproduce every movement in a video?” are not the same question. A named product and an order route make it more than a concept. They do not turn every research or marketing demonstration into a supported out-of-box feature.
How much is the Unitree robot dog?
“Unitree robot dog” usually means a quadruped, not a humanoid. Unitree’s current collection lists the Go2 from US$1,600. The individual Go2 page shows variant-dependent pricing, with one displayed configuration at US$3,050 when checked, and says shipping can run from US$399 to US$1,000. The buyer is responsible for customs duties, taxes and clearance.
That is why a search result can show both US$1,600 and US$3,050 without one necessarily being fabricated: one is a collection-level starting price, while the other can reflect the selected variant on the product page. Confirm the model, controller, battery and destination before comparing totals.
Product price is not stock price
These values answer different questions:
- 688836 identifies the security on the Shanghai market.
- A share price changes during market trading and must be read with exchange, currency and timestamp.
- US$13,500 is a base product price for one G1 configuration.
- A delivered robot cost can add shipping, customs, tax, accessories, software, development hardware and support.
- A company’s market value is neither the price of one share nor the price of one robot.
If a search result labels US$13,500 “Unitree stock price,” it has joined unrelated entities. If it labels 688836 “the robot model,” it has made the opposite error.
What the listing proves—and what it does not
The listing records prove a dated corporate event: Unitree became a publicly traded mainland China company under a specific code. They provide a stronger reference than an old article saying the company “plans an IPO.”
The listing does not prove that:
- every robot video shows a retail feature;
- every U.S. brokerage offers access to the share;
- a current share price will remain current after publication;
- the cheapest store listing fits a research or commercial use case;
- buying hardware and investing in the company are comparable decisions.

What is Unitree’s stock price today?
This evergreen page does not publish a live quote. Check a licensed market data service for 688836, verify that the exchange is Shanghai, and note the currency and timestamp. A robot’s dollar price is not a share quote.

Unitree lists the standard G1 at US$13,500, excluding tax and shipping. The EDU development version and custom requirements use a separate sales route.
What is the cheapest Unitree humanoid robot?
In Unitree’s official humanoid collection checked on 28 August 2026, the lowest displayed starting price was US$4,290 for R1-D. The R1 started at US$4,900. Configuration, availability, tax, shipping and customs still need a live quote.

The official collection lists Go2 from US$1,600. The price varies by variant and selected equipment, and the delivered total can include shipping, tax and customs.
Is the robot price the same as Unitree’s stock price?
No. A product price is what a robot configuration costs. A share price is the market price of one security. They use different units, change for different reasons and should never be substituted for each other.
