Following its viral performance at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, Unitree’s G1 humanoid is now available for direct purchase on Amazon, albeit with a significant price markup and strict development limitations.

Amazon’s Frontier AI & Robotics team reveals Perceptive Humanoid Parkour (PHP), a framework that allows bipedal robots to autonomously vault, climb, and adapt to changing environments in real-time.

The Frontier AI & Robotics team releases a "full-stack" framework designed to bridge the gap between different simulators and real-world deployment.

A New York Times report, based on internal documents, outlines Amazon's strategy to automate three-quarters of its operations, avoiding the need to hire over 600,000 workers. This provides new context for the company's aggressive R&D in humanoid robotics.

Amazon's latest robotics project, ResMimic, uses a two-stage residual learning framework to efficiently teach humanoids complex loco-manipulation skills. By refining a general motion policy with task-specific corrections, the system enables a Unitree G1 to handle heavy and irregular objects with precision.
