Wang Xingxing founded Unitree Robotics in August 2016, and currently serves as its Chief Executive and Chief Technology Officer. During his postgraduate studies, he pioneered the development of XDog, a high-performance quadruped robot powered by cost-effective brushless outrunner motors. This breakthrough established a new global benchmark for low-cost, high-performance legged robots. In 2016, XDog gained widespread media coverage both in China and internationally, generating significant attention within the global robotics community. Since its establishment, Unitree has become the first company in the world to retail high-performance quadruped robots. It has consistently led global sales, greatly accelerating the commercialization of advanced quadruped and humanoid robots. The company has filed over 200 patent applications in China and abroad. Under Wang’s leadership, Unitree has secured multiple rounds of investment from prominent firms such as Meituan, Tencent, Alibaba, Sequoia Capital, Shunwei Capital, and Matrix Partners. He has also directed teams to showcase the company’s products at high-profile events, including the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2021, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, the 2023 Super Bowl, and again at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2025.
