The Leaser Behind Unitree: A $20,000 Deal
The rise of humanoid robots, particularly Unitree’s G1, fueled a burgeoning “robot rental” market. Initially, high demand and limited supply led to lucrative daily rental fees (up to RMB 20,000). Early adopters, like Huanmeng Technology, profited from exhibitions and rentals. However, increased competition and decreased hype resulted in a price drop and market chaos. Despite setbacks, operators are actively exploring new features and collaborations, highlighting the market’s volatile but dynamic nature.
