Counterpoint Research says global shipments of quadruped robots reached nearly
35,000 in 1H26, with about 40% used in industrial applications. Surging demand
across verticals should sustain industry growth. Unitree leads the overall
market on an early entertainment and education advantage; Zhiyuan Kuto and
Yunshen rank first and second in industry deployments. Continued industrial
demand and advances in embodied intelligence could lift the market above $10bn
