Unitree Robotics, a Chinese robotics startup, has unveiled the Unitree A2 Stellar Hunter, a next-generation quadruped robot designed for industrial applications. The robot weighs approximately 37 kilograms and has an unloaded operational range of around 20 kilometers. It can reach speeds up to 5 meters per second, climb heights up to one meter, and is capable of navigating rugged terrain, including slopes and rocky surfaces. The A2 Stellar Hunter is described as lighter, stronger, and faster than previous models. Video demonstrations have shown the robot performing various dynamic movements such as running, jumping, climbing, tumbling, carrying heavy loads, and breaking through glass. The launch of the Unitree A2 has contributed to a surge in Chinese robotics stocks and increased market optimism, particularly following Shanghai's industry plan to boost the sector. In related developments, Chinese researchers also revealed a humanoid robot named Ling Shu, which features a "one-brain-multi-form" architecture and is capable of cross-scenario cluster operations, including applications in e-commerce warehouses. This humanoid robot weighs 50 kilograms, stands 167 centimeters tall, and performs 275 trillion operations per second using advanced sensors and on-device processing chips. The combined advancements in robotic technology have driven gains in the Chinese humanoid robotics index.
