Note: At the time of publishing, the Unitree App Store is accessible for preview, but full functionality and downloads are currently limited by region. We’ll continue sharing updates as broader access becomes available.
Unitree has officially launched the public beta of its new App Store, marking a meaningful milestone for humanoid robotics development. Designed as a centralized marketplace for robot actions, the Unitree App Store introduces a new way for developers to create, distribute, and iterate on pre-programmed behaviors for the Unitree G1 humanoid robot.
For companies like RoboStore, this launch represents an important step toward a more open and extensible humanoid ecosystem. While access is currently limited during the beta phase, the platform offers a clear look at how humanoid robots are intended to evolve from closed systems into developer-driven platforms as availability expands.
What is the Unitree App Store?
The Unitree App Store is not a traditional software app store. Instead of downloading screen-based applications, users install actions, which are packaged behavior programs that control how a humanoid robot moves and behaves.
Each action represents a predefined sequence of motion and logic. Once installed, an action can be executed to trigger expressive movements, dance routines, or more technical demonstrations of balance, coordination, and control.
At launch, the App Store is focused on the Unitree G1 humanoid platform, with listings showing compatibility for both the G1 EDU and G1 EDU+ models.
Early Actions and Examples
The first wave of actions available in the Unitree App Store leans toward expressive and demonstrative use cases, which aligns with the platform’s early beta status.
Some of the initial featured actions include:
-
Funny Actions
A collection of playful, expressive movements designed to showcase personality and character through motion. -
Twist Dance
A choreographed routine inspired by classic partner dance sequences, highlighting timing and coordinated full-body motion. -
Bruce Lee
A martial-arts-inspired action set demonstrating balance, kicking mechanics, and precise limb control.
While these early actions are entertainment-focused, they serve a broader purpose. They demonstrate how humanoid behaviors can be modularized, packaged, and reused across different environments, which is foundational for more advanced applications in education, research, and development.
How the App Store Is Organized
The Unitree App Store interface is divided into several core sections that support both users and developers.
👥 User Square
User Square is the main discovery hub, featuring actions developed by Unitree and third-party developers. Users can browse available actions and view key details like supported platforms, versions, and developer info.
📦 Action Library
The Action Library is where actions connected to a user’s account are managed and launched. From here, users can enable installed actions and run them on their humanoid robot through the mobile app.
🧠 Dataset
The Dataset section supports uploading and downloading shared datasets for training and optimization. These datasets can be used to refine actions such as dance routines or martial arts movements.
👤 Personal Center
The Personal Center serves as an account-level hub tied to the user’s platform login. While still in development, it is expected to manage personal actions, datasets, and platform activity.
🛠️ Developer Center
The Developer Center provides tools and documentation for creating, uploading, and versioning actions. Developers can share actions publicly and upload datasets to support training and continuous improvement.
How Users Install and Run Actions
The Unitree App Store is designed to make deploying new humanoid behaviors quick and repeatable. As access expands, actions are intended to run directly within the Unitree Explorer app, which is the primary control interface for Unitree G1 humanoid robots. From the user’s perspective, running a downloaded action is designed to feel the same as triggering one of the built-in actions that ship with the robot.
Developer Resources and Documentation
For developers looking to build and publish actions, Unitree provides a dedicated Developer Manual that walks through the full process from start to finish.
The documentation includes:
-
Quick start guides for getting set up on the Unitree App Store platform
-
Guidance on developing action packages, including structure and required components
-
Step-by-step instructions for creating an action and preparing it for upload
-
Version management workflows, allowing developers to upload, update, and iterate on actions over time
-
Clear upload and submission instructions for publishing action versions to the App Store
These resources are designed to help everyone from beginner developers to larger teams reduce setup time and focus on building and refining humanoid robot behaviors.
Why This Matters for Humanoid Robotics
For RoboStore customers, the Unitree App Store represents an important early step toward a more open humanoid ecosystem, even as access remains limited during the initial rollout.
Today, the App Store provides a clear view into how Unitree plans to support shared actions, datasets, and third-party development around the G1 platform. As regional availability expands, these capabilities are expected to play a growing role in how humanoid robots are deployed, customized, and updated over time.
RoboStore will continue monitoring access, testing features as they become available, and sharing updates, demos, and real-world use cases as broader support rolls out.
What This Means for RoboStore Customers
For customers of RoboStore, the App Store is an important development to watch closely.
As the platform matures, it opens the door to:
-
Faster deployment of new robot behaviors
-
Third-party innovation layered on top of G1 hardware
-
Custom actions for education, research, and demonstrations
-
A growing ecosystem around the Unitree G1 platform
RoboStore is actively exploring participation in the App Store ecosystem and plans to share updates, walkthroughs, and demos as functionality expands and access becomes fully available.
Still Early, but Directionally Clear
The Unitree App Store remains in public beta, and access may vary by region as the platform continues to roll out. Some features are not fully enabled yet, and functionality will continue to evolve over time.
That said, the direction is clear. Humanoid robots are transitioning from closed systems into platforms built for shared development. The Unitree App Store outlines how future deployments can scale faster through reusable actions, shared datasets, and reduced repetitive development work.
We’ll continue tracking updates and sharing progress as broader access becomes available.
