Unitree releases the high-speed Superman humanoid ahead of its Shanghai market debut

The new robot reached a top speed of 12.66 m/s and a two-metre standing jump, according to company information reported on August 17, 2026. Unitree has raised 6.1 billion yuan (about US$905 million), says it delivered about 18,000 bipedal humanoids by July, and plans to start trading on August 19 after completing its IPO.

The release links embodied AI, manufacturing scale and public-market funding. Demonstrations do not prove workplace reliability, autonomy, safety certification or unit economics; the figures are company claims.
