Mondo Tech: A New Player in Robotics

Unitree's growing footprint is highlighted by the launch of Mondo Tech, co-founded by Shuo Yang, a former engineer on Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus. With its base in both Palo Alto, California, and Shenzhen, China, Mondo Tech focuses on creating accessible robots aimed at enhancing consumer experiences. This initiative aligns with a broader trend of robotics startups emerging from China, vying for innovation in artificial intelligence.

The Vision Behind Mondo Tech

Yang's vision for Mondo Tech is to develop mini robots that serve as companions, inspired by his own family needs. The startup aims to bring forth a new era of technology that not only entertains but also integrates into everyday life, positioned to attract attention in a sector rife with competition.

Collaboration and Expertise

• Core team includes talent from top tech firms such as DJI and OpenAI.
