Unitree reveals $650,000 production-ready mecha that punches through walls and crawls like a spider

Unitree Robotics unveiled the GD01, a nearly 9-foot humanoid mecha aimed at dangerous, high-risk work.

The production-ready robot is reportedly priced at about 3.9 million yuan, or roughly $650,000.

Analysts say major hurdles remain, including cost, battery life, operator comfort, maintenance, and regulation.

The launch highlights how humanoid robots are moving from demos toward commercial products, even as real-world adoption stays uncertain.
