Shenzhen boosts role as China’s humanoid robotics base with Unitree local venture
Unitree, based in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, has established a wholly-owned venture called Shenzhen Tianyi Technology

Unitree’s expansion in Shenzhen comes just days after the tech hub in southern Guangdong province introduced sweeping measures to achieve its ambition as a leader in the rapidly growing robotics field, as other Chinese cities including Hangzhou emerge as new hubs of innovations.

This week, Shenzhen released an ambitious plan to build a 100 billion yuan (US$13.8 billion) humanoid robotics sector by 2027. It aims to cultivate an industry cluster of 1,200 human-shaped robotics-related firms by then, including over 10 companies with valuations exceeding 10 billion yuan.
The city has also pledged to accelerate the adoption of embodied AI technology in various fields including the civil service, industrial manufacturing, education and medical care, among others.
