Zhiyuan's H1 Revenue Nears 2B Yuan as Worken Sets Robot Value Benchmark
Chinese humanoid-robot developer Zhiyuan has reported nearly 2 billion yuan in revenue for the first half of 2026, despite remaining privately held. Co-founder, president and CTO Peng Zhihui disclosed the figure at the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day on Oct. 29, offering a rare look at the commercial traction of an unlisted humanoid-robot maker.
The revenue rests on a 43% share of the global humanoid-robot market, according to the company, and exceeds the 1.152 billion yuan in first-half revenue reported by Unitree Technology. Zhiyuan, founded just over three years ago, is seeking to translate rapid growth into a durable commercial position.
As part of that push, the company is presenting Worken as a benchmark for gauging robot value, a move that could help customers and investors compare offerings in a still-emerging market. The disclosure underscores how Chinese humanoid-robot firms are beginning to report meaningful sales while racing to scale deployment and prove returns.
