Unitree Robotics

Unitree Robotics is a Hangzhou, China-based high-performance robot manufacturer founded in 2016 by Wang Xingxing. The company is a global pioneer in the commercial quadruped (robot dog) market and has expanded into bipedal humanoid robots. Its product line includes the Go1, Go2, and Go2-W quadrupeds for consumers, education, and research; the industrial-grade B1 and B2 quadrupeds for inspection, patrol, and logistics; the H1 full-size humanoid; the G1 humanoid for research and developer experimentation; the R1 humanoid; and the Z1 robotic arm. Unitree also produces in-house components including the L1/L2 LiDAR, hand-grade actuators, and dexterous hands (Dex1-1). Unitree's developer surface is SDK-centric — there is no public REST or gRPC cloud API. Robot control happens on-device over DDS (Data Distribution Service) via the unitree_sdk2 (C++) and unitree_sdk2_python libraries, with high-level message bindings published as unitree_ros and unitree_ros2. The company maintains an active GitHub presence at github.com/unitreerobotics with 46+ public repositories covering SDKs, ROS packages, MuJoCo and Isaac Lab simulation environments, reinforcement learning frameworks (unitree_rl_gym, unitree_rl_lab), teleoperation tooling (xr_teleoperate, kinect_teleoperate, televuer), imitation learning (unitree_lerobot), a vision-language-action model (unifolm-vla), and a Unitree App Store template repo. Documentation lives at support.unitree.com/home/en/developer. Unitree's revenue model is direct robot hardware sales via shop.unitree.com and partner distribution; there is no metered API service tier.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Unitree Robotics the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Unitree Robotics scores 14.4/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Unitree Robotics

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Unitree Robotics. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
