The funding comes as embodied AI developers face a shortage of high-quality training data, inconsistent standards and fragmented datasets.

Increasingly, competition is shifting toward capabilities spanning data collection, embodied foundation models, world models and real-world deployment.

Lumos said participants will not be required to pay licensing fees, provide equity or make upfront purchases.

Unitree staff said the new H2 Plus, built on Nvidia’s platform, offers substantially higher computing performance than previous generations.

The footage shows the robot running across grassy slopes, stepping over factory thresholds, performing fine operations inside electrical control boxes and ending with front and back flips.

This update signals that the Hangzhou-based robotics upstart is moving closer to becoming China’s first publicly traded humanoid robot maker.

Across the street sits Apple’s Jing’an store, underscoring Unitree’s ambitions to raise its profile among mainstream consumers.

Wang opened up for the first time on the thinking behind GD01, which the company describes as the world’s first mass-produced, rideable mech robot.

Without remote control, the robot was shown sorting, storing and arranging objects while operating under external disturbances.

The announcement, published by the Shanghai Stock Exchange on May 25, marks the latest step in Unitree’s push toward an A-share listing.
