ROBOTS

🤖 You can now buy a 4-foot-tall humanoid robot for $16K

Does anyone want to buy a humanoid robot for $16,000? Now, normal people can buy and test it industrially or domestically. The latest product from Unitree hopes you will: Meet the Unitree G1, a "humanoid robot."

One of the standout features of the G1 is its insane flexibility, speed, and range of motion. Thanks to its advanced hollow joint technology, this robot can swivel and move in ways that humans simply can’t.

Just like the recent Boston Dynamics Atlas video, Unitree's promo video shows some impressive capabilities for such a cheap robot.

PS: This is just the beginning of humanoid robots, here are all the other contenders for Unitree G1.
