I have said it numerous times in the past 3-4 years. I believe robotics ( not just humanoids ) will be a bigger thing / threat than AI. And currently China is at least 5 years ahead of rest of the world.

Think of this like a car company having a racing program — building stuff like this will pay dividends elsewhere in the company; from product design to production chain. Example - boy, does that gait look uncomfortable to sit through. I can imagine wanting to spend more time on smoothness, careful foot planting, gait variations, etc. after having my R&D guys ride around in it. And with that done, I can imagine better wear cycles and faster, better looking small robots benefiting.

I’ll also note that cockpit has been padded. I’d love to see the crash outtake videos.

I like the almost lego arm attachment, I enjoy the thought that in future, some kid is bolting 4 junk yard arms to a scrap roll cage to build a quadruped menace.

highly recommend watching the Benn Jordan video which interestingly enough dropped yesterday, "Robot Dogs Are A Security Nightmare"[0].

potential backdoors, weak security and other concerns.

Is there a video where the CEO is riding the robot? Because the video that is embedded in the X post doesn't show that at all. He is taking a seat there but it's clear that there is a puppet sitting in it (with a helmet on) when it's moving.

I remember years ago there was giant robot duel

looong youtube video, a lot of unnecessary hyping - all to end in 5 second after one robot drove into the other and it just fell

looks like someone made a supercut of all the fights, and it is still too long and has uncomfortable hyping from narrator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTkVrRkziDI

What would you use it for that other machines are unsuitable for? Carrying stuff? Helping with somewhat heavy construction tasks? The torso seems a bit too in the way of the hands to be useful for anything. I mean, it looks cool but might be kinda useless.

I’ve bought at least three Unitree products and they are great

I just wish they would to hire people from the US cause I’d love to work there

If anybody knows how to get a job there, I’ve talked with a bunch of people from the company, and they basically say “yeah we’re not hiring ever”

That we're all looking at a bipedal walking robot you can sit in and ride around and no one here seems remotely impressed by this is a sure sign we're in the future.

We got the first real-life Spiderman villain before GTA VI

Dam china making gundams, before GTA 6.

Wow it can even break a mortarless brick wall, impressive!

Wonder if the security posture is as good as the robot dog Benn Jordan tested.

I want to watch Cybertruck vs GD01

Neat, I wonder just how far these things can be scaled.

The design is very human

so when it's on all fours you're just on your back looking skyward?

toy

looks ugly.
