Product overview
About Unitree Superman
Unitree Superman is an experimental legged humanoid from Unitree Robotics, revealed on 17 August 2026 in an official video. The robot has no head, hands or grippers, and Unitree gives its leg length as 0.85 m. The company described development as having taken a little over three months.
Unitree claims a standing jump of 2 m and a top sprint of 12.66 m/s, which is about 45.6 km/h. Fast Company says the figures came from Unitree without independent verification, test venue or measurement method. The sprint is therefore kept as a demonstration claim rather than a product specification.
Press reports describe Superman as a prototype with no mass-production timeline. No price or sales channel was found, and no Superman product page was found on unitree.com.
