GD01

GD01 is Unitree's manned, transformable mecha: a roughly 2.7-metre-tall robot of about 500 kg (including the pilot) that a person rides in a torso-mounted cockpit, or that can be controlled remotely. Unitree unveiled it on May 12, 2026 and calls it the world's first production-ready manned mecha, with a starting price of 3.9 million yuan (about $574,000–$650,000 depending on the conversion). It walks on two legs, can fold into a four-legged stance in seconds, and in Unitree's launch video it strides forward and knocks through a brick wall with its hand. The red-and-gray alloy body has human-like legs, arms and hands. Unitree describes it as a civilian vehicle for rough-terrain transport, exploration and rescue work, but has not yet published detailed specifications, battery figures or delivery dates.
