宇樹科技創辦人王興興攜載人變形機甲GD01登上《時代》雜誌封面[1]，並被評為2025年度人工智慧領域最具影響力100人[1]。這是8年來首次有中國企業家登上該刊封面，上一次為2018年百度創辦人李彥宏[1]。宇樹科技本身也獲評2025年度全球100大最具影響力企業[1]，其Unitree R1產品獲評2025年度最佳發明[1]。
GD01於今年5月12日發布，號稱全球首款量產版載人變形機甲[1]。該產品具有人形直立行走與四足爬行雙模式，定義為民用交通工具[1]。直立時GD01大約是普通成年人身高的1.6倍，載人後重量約500公斤[1]，售價為人民幣390萬元起[1]。
宇樹科技已獲中國證監會同意在科創板上市。中國證監會於本月1日同意該公司首次公開發行股票並在科創板上市的註冊申請[1]，批文有效期為12個月[1]。
Unitree Technology founder Wang Xingxing has graced the cover of Time magazine alongside the company's GD01 transformable humanoid robot, marking the first appearance by a Chinese entrepreneur on the publication's cover in eight years.[1] Wang was recognized as one of the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence for 2025, while Unitree was named among the world's 100 most influential companies for the same year, and the Unitree R1 received the award for best invention.[1]
The GD01, unveiled on May 12 this year, stands approximately 1.6 times the height of an average adult and weighs around 500 kilograms when carrying passengers.[1] The vehicle operates in dual modes, capable of both upright humanoid walking and four-legged crawling, and is positioned as a consumer transportation device with a starting price of 3.9 million yuan, equivalent to approximately 18.6 million New Taiwan dollars.[1] Unitree claims it is the world's first mass-produced piloted transformable mecha.[1]
The milestone represents significant momentum for the robotics firm, which obtained approval from China's Securities and Exchange Commission on the first of this month to conduct an initial public offering and list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, with the registration approval valid for twelve months.[1] The last time a Chinese entrepreneur appeared on Time's cover was in 2018, when Baidu founder Robin Li was featured.[1]
