Following the captivating performances of humanoid robots at the Spring Festival Gala, consumer interest has surged dramatically, leading to delivery dates for orders being pushed back to late April. The event showcased robots from four domestic firms—Unitree Robotics, Magiclab, Galbot, and Noetix—who collectively signed partnerships reportedly worth around 100 million yuan (approximately US$14 million). Unitree Robotics emerged as a key player, planning to ship between 10,000 to 20,000 humanoid robots in 2026, significantly up from the 5,500 units expected in 2025, solidifying China's position in the global humanoid robotics market (South China Morning Post, February 18, 2026).
