Not everyone may be kung fu fighting, but the Unitree G1 humanoid robot most certainly is. The engineering team made some tweaks to its algorithm, enabling the robot to learn and perform virtually any movement.
In the future, we imagine it being able to wield weapons like nunchucks, bo staffs, katanas, and possibly even shurikens, thanks to its force-position hybrid control that can simulate human hands to achieve precise operation of objects. The most surprising thing? G1 isn’t some concept, but rather a real robot that you can buy today for $16,000 USD.
