5,500 humanoid robots shipped tells you almost nothing

The shipment number is interesting but it’s the wrong metric. What matters is where those robots ended up and what they’re actually doing. A warehouse full of units doesn’t move the needle. I’m more curious about Unitree’s deployment numbers - how many are in production lines, how many in warehouses waiting for someone to figure out the use case, how many got returned.
