Zhu’s comments come as embodied AI and robotics attract growing investment globally, with developers racing to move machines beyond controlled industrial settings and into everyday environments.
The company said the milestone was reached within 10 months of mass production, which it claims is 2-3 years faster than the industry average.
The outlet, located at the Intime In88 Mall in Wangfujing, an area teeming with shopping malls, began operations on April 29.
Teams are required to use Unitree Robotics’s Go2 robots to navigate the course, completing a sequence of movements, object transfers and identification tasks without failure.
The robot is rated at IP67, allowing it to withstand submersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes, and operate in conditions such as heavy rain or flooding.
As of March 25, the robot had assisted inspections on more than 5,000 containers, achieving a container-number recognition accuracy rate of 92% and a foreign-object detection rate of 95%.
Unitree’s IPO bid follows the success of Shenzhen-based UBTech, which was the first humanoid robotics company to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in late 2023.
