How many robots can one person control? Unitree's answer: a whole fleet.

Unitree has previewed UniUni, a fleet-control system. One operator plans formations, paths and timing for a group of robots and monitors each robot live. A single command applies a safety brake to the whole fleet.

It grew out of the swarm of G1 humanoids that performed at China's 2026 Spring Festival Gala.

This matters for shows, events and multi-robot research. Talk to us about G1 for your venue or lab.

Unitree, the robot maker whose machines we distribute, is now listed on Shanghai's STAR Market. Its shares climbed more than fivefold on day one.

Unitree reports about 18,000 humanoid robots built and delivered by July 2026, and revenue of nearly ยฅ1.7 billion in 2025, up from ยฅ393 million in 2024.

Unitree also says it will put about half of what it raised into R&D on robot AI models. For South African owners, that means a supplier that keeps investing in better robots and software.

MCM Robotics is Unitree's official distributor in South Africa. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

๐Ÿค– One brain. Three jobs. 50 times a second. โšก

Researchers just ran a single control policy on the Unitree G1 humanoid that handles:
โœ… Motion generation
๐ŸŽฎ Joystick steering
๐Ÿ’ช Disturbance response

The clever part ๐Ÿ”ฎ It uses predicted future states to guide its actions, so the G1 acts on where it's heading, not just where it is.

Next frontier ๐Ÿค” Unfamiliar movements. That's exactly why universities, labs and innovators worldwide build on the G1 ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ€โšฝ๐Ÿ“ฆ The Unitree G1 just learned to play ballโ€ฆ by watching people! ๐Ÿค–

Huge congratulations to the HumanX research team ๐ŸŽ‰ Their work has been accepted at CoRL 2026, one of the world's top robot-learning conferences, and the code is now open-source ๐Ÿ”“

What you're watching ๐Ÿ‘€
๐Ÿ€ Jump shots and passing with a human partner
โšฝ Football kicks
๐Ÿ“ฆ Picking up and carrying cargo

The magic? ๐ŸŽฌโžก๏ธ๐Ÿค– HumanX turns ordinary human video into real humanoid skills, with no hand-coded rewards for each task. The team trained 10 skills across sports and cargo handling and moved them straight onto a physical Unitree G1. In their tests it generalised more than 8x better than earlier methods ๐Ÿš€

Why this matters for South Africa ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
Open-source code plus an off-the-shelf G1 means our universities, colleges and R&D teams can now reproduce world-class research right here. They can even start turning their own videos into humanoid skills ๐Ÿ’ก

MCM Robotics is the Official Unitree Distributor in South Africa. We handle supply, commissioning, training and local support for the G1 ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

๐Ÿค–โœ‹ Unitree just dropped a humanoid hand from around US$6,500 โ€” and this could be a major turning point for robotics.

Meet the Unitree Dex5-S.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ 5 fingers
โš™๏ธ 22 Degrees of Freedom
๐Ÿ“ Human-hand size
๐Ÿ”„ Fully backdrivable joints
๐Ÿค– Designed for advanced humanoid manipulation

For years, dexterous robotic hands have been one of the most complex and expensive components of humanoid robots.

Unitree appears determined to change that.

Weโ€™ve already seen what happened when Unitree pushed the price of high-performance quadruped robots down dramatically. Now they're applying that same philosophy to humanoid robotics:

๐Ÿ”ฅ Better technology
๐Ÿ”ฅ Faster development
๐Ÿ”ฅ Lower entry costs
๐Ÿ”ฅ Greater accessibility

This is about much more than a robotic hand.

It could accelerate the development of robots capable of gripping tools, handling objects, operating equipment, performing repetitive tasks and eventually working alongside humans in real-world environments.

๐ŸŒ For South Africa, this opens exciting possibilities across:

โ›๏ธ Mining
๐Ÿญ Manufacturing
๐Ÿ“ฆ Warehousing & logistics
๐Ÿ”ง Maintenance
๐Ÿงช Research & education
โšก Energy & utilities
๐Ÿšœ Agriculture
๐Ÿค– AI-powered automation

The humanoid robotics race isn't only about making robots walk anymore.

The next frontier is making them useful.

And giving robots capable hands is a massive part of that equation. ๐Ÿ‘€
