Wang Xingxing's Speech at Unitree's 10th Anniversary: Urging People to Believe in AI, the Embodied Intelligence Window Narrows to 1 to 2 Years
At the 2026 Unitree Technology World Physical AI Conference, founder Wang Xingxing used a 36-minute speech to urge people to believe in AI, saying that the information world has been completely breached by current model capabilities. He compressed the expected ChatGPT moment for embodied intelligence from the 2 to 3 years and 5 to 10 years he cited in August down to 1 to 2 years, and said that if things go fast, next year a robot will be able to tidy up an unfamiliar room on a single command. He mentioned that cumulative G1 units off the line reached about 10,000 to 20,000, that H2-X battery life increased from about 3 hours to about 8 hours, that Unitree will develop its own models while also cooperating with large-model companies at home and abroad, and that it ranks large-scale hardware manufacturing first, believing that widespread adoption requires at least an annual production of ten million units.

Wang Xingxing of Unitree Technology: Unitree G1 robots have cumulatively rolled off the production line at about 10,000 to 20,000 units
Wang Xingxing, founder of Unitree Technology, said at the 2026 World Physical AI Conference that since its release in May 2024, the Unitree G1 robot has cumulatively rolled off the production line at about 10,000 to 20,000 units, making it the world's best-selling humanoid robot. Wang Xingxing also said that with the release of GPT-6, physical AI has shown signs of being broken through, and the core challenge for embodied intelligence to pass the ChatGPT moment is aligning the input and output of AI models with real robots.
