The Chinese robotics firm Unitree has established a share price of 150.80 yuan for its IPO in Shanghai, which estimates the value of the humanoid and quadruped robot manufacturer at approximately $9 billion, positioning it as the first publicly listed humanoid robot enterprise in mainland China. Based in Hangzhou, the company is recognized for its robots that can run, dance, and execute acrobatic feats, aiming to generate around 6.1 billion yuan by offering 40.45 million new shares, representing 10% of its expanded share capital, on the STAR Market of Shanghai. The subscription period starts on August 10, with trading anticipated to commence later in the month. Among the strategic investors participating in this offering is the AI firm DeepSeek. This IPO occurs amid growing regulatory scrutiny from Washington on Chinese-developed humanoid and quadruped robots, although Unitree maintains that its current products have received U.S. approvals, despite uncertainties surrounding future models.
