Unitree's UniStore Goes Live May 7: World's First Humanoid Robot App Store, 24 Motion Apps at Launch, G1-Compatible, Two Weeks After the $3,949 R1 — The 「App Store for Bipeds」 Is No Longer a Joke Robotics

Unitree's UniStore Goes Live May 7: World's First Humanoid Robot App Store, 24 Motion Apps at Launch, G1-Compatible, Two Weeks After the $3,949 R1 — The 「App Store for Bipeds」 Is No Longer a Joke

On May 7 Unitree opened UniStore, billed as the world's first humanoid robot task-and-action app store, with 24 motion apps available at launch — including dancing, boxing, striding, plus Jackson dance moves, Jeet Kune Do, and Charleston — installable to a Unitree G1 in one tap. It arrives one week after the $3,949 R1 and one day after Unitree's $610M Shanghai IPO filing — the cleanest signal yet that the humanoid market is being shaped from the consumer-app side first, not the factory side.
