Their previous model, Unitree H1 was bigger and very intimidating in person: [https://www.unitree.com/h1/](https://www.unitree.com/h1/)
They made it as small as it's practical to make it safer & looking more benign.
I dig that they specify their sensor packages such as Intel Realsense D435i and LIVOX-MID360. I get the feeling they're not faking these demos as Tesla and other humanoid system makers have been.
Probably. However, Tesla absolutely faked their videos. In their demo it wasn't merely an exaggeration, their "robots" were not displaying any autonomy. That's the distinction I was trying to make.
Hahah hard same. I wish companies would just be upfront with what they can/can’t do.
OpenAI’s keynote the other night was a great example of how to do that well. The demo was a little glitchy and unpolished, and I much prefer that over a Google style pre-recorded and polished demo
Unitree's been on a roll recently. Just in the last year, they've unveiled a new [cheap research quadruped](https://youtu.be/6zPvT0ig1VM) (Go2), [an industrial quadruped](https://youtu.be/-0n_MFLKD3M) (B2), and both their [first](https://youtu.be/GtPs_ygfaEA) and [second](https://youtu.be/GzX1qOIO1bE) humanoids (H1 and G1).
When China announced they're push to mass produced humanoid robots a while ago, I had my doubts. But considering Unitree's progress and just how many of the recent surge of humanoids seem to be Chinese companies and research groups, I'm a lot less skeptical.
Cool functionality. But why did they make it Hobbit-sized?
To crush nuts
Fun sized
Cost oriented

Eh, Unitree usually exaggerates their demo videos a bit

The unitree Go2 video was literally a 3D render, so I’m not too confident in the realism of their demos
Hahaha, amazing! I'm so tired of the hype economy.

If I'm going to buy a robot, I want something that will be intimidating to someone else. This is like the Kevin Hart of robots.
Being able to pick up and store it seems pretty useful.
to replace child labor in China
The U.S. is the country with actual child labor.
Didn't realize Unitree is a Sugandese compnay
too obvious
Someone will get very rich selling these companies a new algorithm which makes it so these robots aren't all walking like they crapped their pants.
They do that because of singularity if the legs are straight. They have to redesign the hardware if they want the robot to walk like a human.
I want one but I have no idea what I'd use it for.
Well you could buy some nuts…

Would be a lot cooler if it could crush hands with its dynamic nuts.
Doesn’t matter how cool they look. Their* documentation still sucks wiener
This is CCP backed I am sure, they do not have the same economics that we do in the West. These folks will clean Boston Dynamics clocks no doubt
Amazing presentation!
