G1

Unitree has unveiled a full-body teleoperation platform for its G1 humanoid. While new videos showcase low-latency robot boxing and soccer, the system''s true purpose may be as a "data acquisition platform" to tackle the industry''s physical AI bottleneck.

In a surprising move that signals a new era of accessibility for advanced robotics, Unitree's G1 humanoid robot is now listed for sale on Walmart's online marketplace, bringing a popular research platform to a mainstream commercial channel.

Unitree Robotics is set to deploy Reborn's Roboverse infrastructure to significantly speed up AI development for its humanoid robots, fostering an open-source community to build more intelligent and adaptable machines.

Humanoid robots competed alongside humans in the Beijing half-marathon for the first time. Tiangong Ultra won the robot category with a time of 2h 40m, but many other robots faced significant challenges, including falls and malfunctions, highlighting the hurdles still facing the technology.

Unitree has just released a new video featuring its G1 humanoid robot in a boxing match against a human — as well as a robot vs. robot showdown. While still slower than a human opponent, the G1 showcases surprisingly sharp boxing skills and an impressive ability to recover and get back on its feet after taking a fall.
