We’re officially entering “The Age of Robot Contortionists”

-Robot, open a Coke for me. -My goodness, what a mess you've made, clean that up with a cloth. -I'm not programmed to do that.

As a life-long robotics professional, please permit me to put a fine point on the way the H1 is being marketed. Unitree would do well to move away from describing the H1 as “the first general purpose humanoid robot”. Here’s why: I founded White Box Robots in 2000. By 2003 we had functional prototypes. By 2006 we started selling the first production run. What could our 914 PC-BOT do? Technically not much at that early release. Unmapped autonomous navigation and a few other basic functions. We deliberately described it as “a general purpose autonomous robot”. Hoping that people would buy it and figure out useful things to do with it. In retrospect, we couldn’t answer the basic question “What does it do?” History is repeating itself here. That approach did not work for us and I would argue it’s not a great move for Unitree either. Develop a couple *legitimately* useful tasks the robot can perform (with polish) right out of the box and build on it. Commit to that process like your company’s survival depends on it. Because it does. If that machine doesn’t solve a fist-pounding need pretty quickly, it’s going to be little more than a passing mechanical curiosity.

$16,000 is very good price. Walking capabilities and balancing are especially very impressive.

Few people pay attention, but it weighs so little that you can lift it entirely with your hands.

0:23 imagine that running at you but its a whole army of them

Insane demo and pricing

Bruh 16000??????? This is the real game changer. Boston dynamics be like god damn it

I like the nod to Atlas and it shows just how much potential this robot range has. I've loving the wild speed of progress we're seeing in biped robots.

2023 was the spike emergence of AI, 2024 is the spike emergence of humanoids

Bro why they always need to kick/punch the robot, they will take it personal once singularity arrives 💀

0:50 Prn industry be like "oooohhhhh yeah!"

I love how robots are already sarcastic!

Wow. The upgrades are incredible. It has the Boston Dynamics contortion, the same fast movement, and new hands. And for $16k. Very impressive work. 👏

If he can play a stick like that it’s not gonna be a challenge for him to hold a gun. Imagine a bunch of 16000$ robot solders on the battle field in the near future.

Everyday i see a new humanoid robot developed by a new robotics company. About 2 years ago there were only Boston Dynamics, and Tesla started doing their robot, and now it's like a TWS Earbuds. Every company has one. Not that it'd be a problem, i love seeing this trend!

Impressive! And at this price, it has no competitor. I don't know how much Atlas will cost but I bet it will be much more expensive. The robot race is heating up with Unitree, Boston Dynamics, Figure 01, 1X Technology and Sanctuary being the most advanced. But there are many other good robots being developed. Very exciting

Ooooh holy shit only $16,000!!!! Wow!!!! The new Atlas I think the cost will be $500,000. Because Spot dog cost $74,000. Wow impressive, good job and congratulations Unitree!!!!!💥💥💥🤜🤜

"You showed empathy, Connor."

Man. In a few years these robots will be way more advanced. In time they will become cheaper and more accessible to everyone. They will be huge help in all areas. Just like humans are. They will go places no man has ever gone before.

That first shot of it on the ground killed me, looks like someone ran over it 😆

10 years robots will be everywhere

Awesome! First affordable robot! One of those moments right here..🎉

I think Boston Dynamics's Atlas needs to show some dancing and backflips as a response 😄

Probably the cheapest advanced Humanoid Robot. Waiting for more info.

- I just bought a robot friend. - Cool! What are you doing with it? - I'm kicking and punching it...

I thought robotics was dying a decade ago, now we're seeing robotics startup companies pop up everywhere. It's an exciting time we're living in currently

that's pretty amazing. we officially have competition folks! progress is going to skyrocket as these companies try to one-up each other by releasing new products. exciting times.

i hope Boston dynamics is gonna post a video soon to diss on Unitree , like kendrick and drake , back to back to see witch robot is better lmao

- Why are you teaching it to fight? That's so funny. - Love that you're responding to the Atlas video! Would be good if it could stand up a little quicker. - Rolling up into something more carriable is very cool. Maybe if it could hold out and elbow to carry it by?

Бегу покупать, утром орехи не мог расколоть! :)

Cross-breed of Optimus and Atlas 2.0

The robot is 100% more talented than modern day teenagers. It's doing stuff without a phone in its hand.

You could not pay me to be the “punch the robot” guy, I for one welcome our robot overlords

Makes sense to have some humanoids small like this so they can get into crammed spaces and save on batteries. I’d recommend focusing dexterity and hand development for smaller ones and have them work with larger ones for tasks which require strength, reach and height.

0:59 jesus with the hands and the staff you'd just need Donatello tmnt costume!

wow goosebumps love Unitree Robotics❤❤

he is so cool! and playful haha, I love how he folded up on the sofa and the twirled the baton around, had I the money I'd definitely have a little robo buddy around the house

我的天哪，，完成度也太高了。加上AI加持完全可以胜任好多工作了。

Holy fk that is impressive.. Hes small but damn one of the best humanoid robots out there

Funny how Boston dynamics revealed pretty much the same thing recently. Tells you that the industry has a shared knowledge. Same engineers switching workplaces, sharing same ideas. So interesting

Hahhahaha !!! You have my respect ! That was really entertaining !! I like the sequence where the robot opens the Coca Cola bottle with a Karate handmove and almost kills the bottleneck and spills out half of the cola on the floor !!!! LMAO !!!

Epic make more videos guys 😮

To the idiots claiming it’s a copy it’s been around way before the new Atlas 😂 It broke speed record and the first to do a backflip with electric motors way before these other robots

Amazing job guys ! Keep up the good work i want my C3-PO ! XD

16.000$ price tag is really good. It will be affordable for most of the people i guess but i am not sure that whether this is good or not.

Not bad! After kicking the Unitree H1, this should be fun to see lol

If this is actually real time, that's fucking crazy

Very impressive! Hats off to the team. Good luck

The stability on this is remarkable, ok I will definitely buy one.

Does it have hole, asking for educational purposes

so cool! it will replace Humans in dangerous tasks, leaving us the good work 👍

Remember, the price starts at 16 000$. There will be several configurations with the 16k model being the cheapest. 1:39

I hope it can do some basic things like helping with lifting heavy things. It would be really helpful for moving furnitures. I mean at the very least, it should be able to carry groceries from Costco to an elevator to our apartment. That alone is a huge plus. It's really exciting how robotic is about to change our life.

You get a robot, and you get a robot, and you get a robot!! Everybody gets a robot!!!🤣

I notice that the hands are different in the beginning of the video compared to the end. I guess Unitree are working towards better hands like Sanctuary and Tesla?

~Robot sitting on the couch~ People at home: EYYYOOOO

The fact that it can smash walnuts with one powerful fist slam is slightly terrifying byt overall this is really cool! $16k is also a really good price compared to other humanoid robots that are soon to be on the market

I love Unitree Corp. I really would like to see tall millitary robots ❤

0:44 absolutely terrifying

Impressive work you have done there. Good job.

I really really like the size. Everyone else is doing these huge robots like the movies, this is like a smaller child size but with normalish hands. Brilliant. Thats the real sci fi movie, a bunch of robots walking around the size of kids

Ok, am I the only one who is concerned about the fact that this robot can crush nuts with his bare hands?

It's a messy robot, we're going to have to clean up after it, all that coca cola everywhere!😂😭

1) missionary position 2) does the cooking Given that in the first sequence there is the suggestion of kit parts, do you provide a silicone coating to turn this into a realistic robot woman? With gpt4o ,there's enough to make something really interesting.

Amazing, especially for the price! It is also hilarious how messy it does in the kitchen though, smashing nuts and spilling coke everywhere. And it will be the owner who does the clean up :P

Another affordable research oriented robot. Thank you Unitree for your contribution to the field of robotics research!!

That’s really cool👀

Great video. You guys should do one where it's walking your robotic dog. You guys can come up with something creative as usual

it's going to lead to crushed nuts alright, they got that bit spot on.

That's a fast one, holy!

Of cause G1 only costs 16k, H1 is making it.

amazing progress! coool

That's kinda funny! Well done 🎉

1:19 walnuts allready cracked but still imprasive stuff

"wow, nice fine motor contro-" *starts smashing shit*

0:45 I was wondering where that sofa scene was going for a second there there 😂

omg! massive flex! Tesla bot just waived, but this one..... even soldering on its own. remarkable achievement.

0:42 need a woman that can do this for me

Things got real zesty at the fifty second mark. 0:50

My local sound shop sold the first CD player for $24,000 Aus$ back in the day

This is none short of impressive, by all counts.

I'll wait for v3.

Not gonna lie, that's impressive.

Ok, pls pls add some chatgpt like voice interaction, so it could talk to you and you could instruct it by voice...that would be amazing. Also imagine having this as a kid as your companion/friend, you could 3d print/dress different body parts and heads to customize him that would be awesome. Maybe the best would be to have a robot sdk/App store so people could add functionality like a cooking chef or personal trainer etc. This is so cool...

Différent from competitors, with disadvantages and bonuses ... Incredibly light !!!

where can I buy in Hong Kong or china?

Go Go Unitree, The next DJI in Robot.

Looking forward to learning more about it.

Nice show.. good progress.. when will it demonstrate dexterity with five digit finger on polygonal objects and surfaces? Great progress thus far.

Bro, boston dynamics has got 24hrs to respond.

0:44 How to fold up kids to fit them in the overhead bin when travelling by plane or train.

Where can I buy ? Are you going to implement movements for household chores? First time I see a robot stand still without moving is feet.

Robotics are going CRAZY!

I'd imagine that for $16k, you only get the packaging

😮 IT CAN SOLDER!?!

So it‘s a competition now, who can make a robot stand up the weirdest way? I love it!

This robot with ChatGPT as operating interface would be amazing

Before there was DJI and then BYD soon comac and even robotics you have unitree, phones high-speed rails the China century is unfolding
