Overview
- Yushu Technology opened its first direct-operated store at Wangfujing YinTai in88 on the first floor in Beijing, offering hands-on demos of its robots.
- The flagship displays G1 and R1 humanoid robots priced from about 80,000 yuan to well over 100,000 yuan, alongside Go1 and Go2 robot dogs listed around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
- Addressing online claims that its panda-style robot copied a rival, CMO Wang Qixin said Yushu posted videos in November and December showing a four-legged robot fitted with a panda shell.
- The opening capped months of visible prep work, including late-2025 construction hoardings at the site and job ads for product advisors offering 10,000 to 15,000 yuan on a 13-month pay plan and requiring one year of electronics retail experience.
- The store gives the public a place to try robot dogs and humanoid models up close, which could broaden awareness and support direct sales.
