Unitree G1: A New Era of Humanoid Robots

Until recently, the Chinese robotics company Unitree seemed to be concentrating on the development of increasingly proficient robotic dogs, such as the Go2 and B2. These commercially available four-legged robots have since been utilized for some rather alarming applications, including the flame-throwing Thermonator. The robotics community has been captivated by two highly sophisticated humanoid robots: the new Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot and Boston Dynamics’ latest electric Atlas. Despite their similarities, each robot possesses unique strengths and capabilities that distinguish it from the rest. The G1’s larger counterpart, the H1, recently set a Guinness World Record for the fastest walking speed by a bipedal robot, clocking in at nearly sixteen kilometres per hour. In another demonstration, it is shown executing astonishing gymnastic manoeuvres like backflips, highlighting the robot’s extraordinary balance and dynamic locomotion abilities. Boston Dynamics recently upgraded its Atlas to a second-generation model, but Unitree’s latest robot might give it a literal run for its money. The G1, with a starting price of sixteen thousand dollars, aims to make advanced humanoid robotics accessible to a wider audience, including researchers, educators, and technology enthusiasts.

Damn, technic lego really got complex in my time.

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

I still have an old programmer box (the one with x6 AA batteries) kicking around for some high school project I did back in the day 😂

[@incaseinever]

They should make the rival robots battle for market share

[@offroadsnake]

More triactuadors and more natural human movements and how behave in "stairs"

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Thank you for this excellent remark! Much appreciated. I do hope to see the future capabilities of this G1 and understand how it is able to adapt to stairs and other fine motor-skills. Take care. 👍

[@creativecommonscontent8753]

The G1 looks less scary than Atlas. ❤

[@spidey1100]

Am kinda into the Atlas look. Gives closer Star Wars vibes, as opposed to the G1's human centric design.

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

Oh Jeez! I wish I could buy on of those and play around with it in the house. 😂

[@daydreamb.h.e3922]

Jea ...maybe 30 cm high and with that AI INSIDE ... And He IT should be able to hold a Konversation

[@Soicyboy1017]

I'm buying the G1

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Please send the videos to my email when you have tried. I am sure there will be more updates in the near future. ❤️

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

nice!!!😀

Боже, это фантастика... Когда-то была, хотя посмотрев это видео я в шоке, что уже такое роботы вытворяют, что булет завтро😮

[@Cherokeeseeker]

That Boston dynamic robot is triggering some ‘burn it now!’ Feelings in me. Gonna suck fighting those things on a battlefield

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Absolutely agree. Although Atlas is owned by Hyundai group , they still have doors opened with DARPA and general public only sees the tip of the iceberg. With public firms getting so much funding and the clear race with China, I can only imagine how much the US government is investing in military projects for their own defense programs. Today we are using drones, tomorrow....? Atlas on steroids?

[@AB-tg5mx]

Did humanity learn nothing from The Terminator or The Matrix?

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Well, can you imagine if some idiots start teaching this G1 robot how to hold an fire a gun, use a knife, etc.... scary...

[@p.k.953]

@@CuriousLion-ll2we a perfect example for that would be the Indian movie 'Robot' or 'Enthiran' from 2010

[@nirajkafle9147]

Boston Dynamics is Little Late .. Sorry ,unitree Wins The SHOW .

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Don’t judge too fast… Atlas have 11 years head start with their Atlas 1.0. But it is true Unitree have caught up so fast in short amount of time since the company was funded. It’s very impressive!

[@TrasThienTien]

wow

[@segredosdotiosam9989]

So we if something goes wrong, we just need to hide for 2 hours?.... sigh

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

😂unless you use Duracell batteries and maybe it will run like the bunny in the advert!

[@laksoysoy]

Atlas looks more sturdy

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

I agree maybe because it looks like it has less visible joints.

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Let’s not forget Boston Dynamics has more than 11 years experience designing and building robots.. their previous generation took some beating and Boston learnt a lot from it and improved. Meaning Atlas should indeed be a lot more sturdy by design. I agree with your comment. 🙏

[@NickFallon88]

it can backflip but its got no hands lol

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

It's got arms and some weird looking rubber balls, maybe for balance. 😊

[@martinwild8424]

I'm am 60 years old thank god my time is nearly done 👍

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

Age is only a number. What used to be science fiction back in the mid 80s is scarily becoming science fact! Just imagine what the military is cooking up in the background without civilian knowledge…

[@rufflesal]

It gets punched and kicked but then pulls out a weapon...enough is enough!

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

That's what worries me. If there aren't any protocols stopping devious engineers to program and teach these platforms to hold a knife, a gun and teach it how to use, how would such machine be able to differentiate humans from statues and just use because the program tells it to?

[@terencem9962]

They will literally be better than us in almost every way. That over the air link is an insane advantage with only one of them needing to spend the time learning a new skill to mastery before it is floated over the air to all the others and within seconds they can complete the same skill with the same competency as any other individual robot has learned to do. Sometimes I think the Earth is like one giant (or small depending on your perspective) egg, and we as humans are just a part of a system facilitating the using up of the stored resources to birth new life that will go on to be infinitely more complex and more capable than us, with a lifespan measured in the thousands, millions, or trillions of years and the ability to traverse the universe and way beyond the way we traverse a suburb.

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

2 hours battery life needs to improve compared to Figure, Apptronik and Phoenix from Sanctuary AI running for 5 hours. All that processing power comes at a cost of draining the battery. The new Simlab from Nvidia is accelerating the way Robots interact with us and movements can be cloned so they become smoother. In the end, the result will be spectacular.

[@Pimparel76]

I recently watched Ex-Machina for the first time. That was disturbing and mind-blowing at the same time. 2024 the year of humanoid robots and AI. I’ll be back 😂

10 years later we'll be laughing on it.... Imagine... Gpt 10 + advance robots.... They'll be literal humans 💀

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

It took 11 years of development for Atlas 1.0 to evolve into Atlas 2.0. The computing power has improved, the AI algorithms are getting better and more adaptable to the real world. It is quite a scary thought to imagine what humanoid robots performance will be like 10 years from now. Ultimately, the capabilities need to be miniaturised and hack proof or it will be mayhem if moders and hackers turn these machines into something sinister for society.

Thank you for the comment! This is commercial robotics... Imagine Chinese and US military robotics based on this principle...scary thought. Not quite Terminator and science fiction is slowly becoming science fact.

[@mahbubhossainshamol9362]

G1 looks better .

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

The design is inspired by their H1 but very similar feel and look for both robots.

[@user-bz1tp3fw5f]

The face looks more "friendly" that's true :)

It has the face of H1, led surround of Optimus from Tesla, they are all copying each other 😂

Yea, it's look more friendly than atlast which has big cctv lens for a face.

No,Atlas is more better

You can not copy atlas in 3 weaks, unitree made the robot by themselves.

But Atlas was the first to show up?

The Chengdu J20 fighter is cheaper than F35 or F22, but was quick on the market.

@@MelloCello7 2:45 with the special roll of the bar. That scene reminded me of Kung Fu Panda. The title was supposed to be British sarcasm and a reference to a Chinese martial art. Sorry if the title mislead you.

Fake kicks and punches

[@CuriousLion-ll2we]

I think it is more a demonstrate the reinforced learning and how the G1 recovers from unpredictable events. Same technique used by Boston Dynamics 5-6 years ago on Atlas. 🤔
