Eren Chen(@ErenChenAI):Unitree’s moat is its research ecosystem. By getting its robots into top labs like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and CMU early, Unitree turned hardware adoption into a flywheel of algorithms, papers and further hardware improvement. Even when those algorithms become open source, competitors may still be months behind because they were often developed around Unitree’s hardware in the first place. Credit: 漫谈 Light the Star / 卫诗婕
