Unitree Robotics is clearly entering a new phase, after attracting attention with extreme demonstrations such as tests in temperatures as low as -47º Celsius, the company is now turning its focus towards something much more strategic, transforming its humanoid robots into real workers within its own production line.

In a recent video, the G1 humanoid appears assembling parts inside the company's factory. It is no longer a choreography for marketing or an isolated resistance test, it is a clear attempt to demonstrate that the robot can generate concrete economic value. Behind this change is the new built-in model called Unif LMX10, an evolution of the system that Unitree already used for data collection and training.

The idea is powerful, using robots to build other robots, creating a closed loop where each task executed becomes new learning, this process is fueled by a human-in-the-loop concept. Human operators still guide some of the movements through teleoperation, allowing you to learn correct and efficient gestures directly from the real world, not just from simulations.

Until now, the G1 was known more as a technological actor, appearing at events dancing, fighting, participating in carefully controlled demonstrations, its entry into a factory environment represents a symbolic and practical change, leaving the stage and entering production, this step is directly linked to the goal advocated by CEO Wang

Although Unitree's own factory remains a controlled setting, offering the kind of repetition and complexity necessary to reduce the distance between demonstration and commercial reality, there is also an obvious economic factor, with more than 5,500 units of the G1 shipping in 2025 and a hiccup planned for mid-2026, the company needs to convince investors that its thefts are not only impressive, but profitable, so putting a manual working in-house is also a way to demonstrate return on investment before opening capital.

The big question that remains is the same one that haunts the entire humanoid industry, these skills learned within the factory can be generalized to real customer environments, if the answer is yes, Unitree will not only be manufacturing robots, it will be teaching machines to evolve within the same place where they are born and for that they use the so-called physical intelligence, which is not being restricted to humanoids, it is beginning to expand towards machines that are already part of our daily lives, including the vehicles that we still drive for now.
