Unitree G1 Gets Even More Agile and Dynamic
The Unitree G1 has received an update, making it even more agile and adaptable. It has now mastered running on rough terrain, showcasing its enhanced mobility and balance.
Interestingly, I think I might have figured out why its movements sometimes appear a bit unnatural. My guess is that there’s a gyroscope located in its center of mass, but that’s just a theory for now.
By the way, the Chinese New Year falls on January 29 this year. I have a feeling they’ll roll out even more updates in time for the celebrations. Let’s wait and see!

China’s $6000 Humanoid Robot by Unitree
Chinese startup Unitree Robotics has just unveiled its humanoid robot R1, priced at only $5,900 — a true game-changer in the world of robotics! 🤖
Weighing just 25 kg, R1 features 26 joints and a multimodal AI system capable of recognizing both voices and images.
Unitree already controls 60–69% of the global market for quadruped robots, with production costs up to 75% lower than industry giants like Boston Dynamics.
The launch of R1 comes just as Shanghai hosts one of the world’s largest AI forums, gathering top tech minds from around the globe.
Robots are becoming more affordable than smartphones. Soon, having a personal robotic assistant at home might be the new normal!

AI-powered parking never looked like this in my head.
A 35-kg Unitree G1 running BAAI’s THOR whole-body control just dragged a 1.4-ton car — ~40× its own weight. It’s a stunt, but it shows how fast balance, traction, and whole-body control are improving. Next stop: factory logistics, recovery, and precision vehicle positioning.
