He estimates this breakthrough could come within two to three years optimistically, or five to ten years at the latest, while cautioning that current AI models remain the industry's biggest bottleneck. Rival founder Wang He of Galbot pegs the milestone at 2028. The comments follow Unitree's blockbuster Shanghai IPO, whose shares soared nearly sixfold on debut before falling 11% the next day. China reportedly shipped over 40,000 humanoids in the first half of the year, accounting for 97% of global shipments, amid rising US-China tension after the FCC banned imports of foreign-made humanoid and quadruped robots. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
