Unitree's $16K Humanoid Robot Leaps Toward Production video

Unit tree just unveiled new video of its G one robot jumping, spinning, getting harassed, climbing stairs and just turning up. The company says the video marks G one's upgrade to the mass production model. Here's everything we know about this humanoid robot and how it stacks up for the competition at about 4 ft and four inches tall. The G one isn't meant to intimidate with its size for comparison. Boston Dynamics lists its Atlas robot as about 5 ft tall. Figure two is about 5.5 ft tall digit from agility robotics is about 5 ft nine inches tall and Tesla's optimist gen two is nearly 6 ft tall. The G one learns new tasks both in simulation and by mimicking human demonstrators. These are very common training techniques in the humanoid robotics industry from nvidia's project root to Tesla's Optimists unit has released clips of its G one robot manipulating various objects, performing various tasks and navigating uneven terrain. All these are relatively common benchmarks in the development of humanoid robots that we've seen before from other companies. Unit's G one weighs less than 80 pounds significant lighter than Tesla's Optimus Atlas from Boston Dynamics and the figure two, all of which weigh over 100 pounds being lighter may prove to be advantageous in terms of cost shipping. And the fear factor, a lighter robot may be less likely to cause damage if it becomes sentient and seeks revenge. The G one walks at a speed of about 4.4 MPH, which is a bit disappointing considering unit's previous humanoid robot. The H one set a world record for fastest Humanoid robot with a speed of about 7.4 MPH. The G one can fold to less than 3 ft in size, presumably for storage and shipping unit says the G one will be available starting at $16,000. That's lower than Elon's less than half the price of a car estimate he gave on X for optimist and significantly cheaper than Boston dynamics robot dog spot which starts at about $75,000. We don't have exact pricing for Atlas figure two or digit robots yet all of which are in various stages of ramping up for mass production unit has made a name for itself as a more affordable alternative to its robotics competitors offering lower price robots first on four legs and now on two with the Humanoid robotics race heating up. It'll be interesting to see if the smaller size and more affordable price tag. Give unit trees G one an edge over the competition. What do you think of humanoid robots? Handy helpers are total nightmares. Let us know down in the comments as always. Thanks so much for watching. I'm your host, Jesse, or see you next time with the family.
