Adjustments made, and the combat robot is now ready to deliver a powerful performance
In a significant development for the field of humanoid robotics, the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China, has shared a video showcasing the Unitree G1 robot's impressive design and human-like mobility. This video, available on RoboHub, was produced by a team at the Active Intelligent Systems (ACT) Lab at SUSTech.
The video presents the Unitree G1 robot engaging in a series of interactions with a human assailant. Despite being attacked and stumbling on a piece of flooring, the robot demonstrates its ability to stay upright with remarkable agility. The robot also performs its own kicks and punches, albeit leaving a somewhat comical impression due to its human opponent being behind it.
Professor Huang Guoqiang, who led the development of the G1 robot at the ACT-Lab at SUSTech, has been working on improving the robot's capabilities. The video serves as a demonstration of the robot's current capabilities rather than a display of combat readiness.
The Unitree G1 robot's performance in the video is a testament to the advancements being made in humanoid robotics. Other similar robots, such as those from Boston Dynamics, Tesla, LimX Dynamics, Robotera, and Figure, are also being developed.
Mass production of these robots is still a few years away, but the potential applications are exciting. These humanoid robots could potentially transform the workplace, particularly production lines and warehouses, by taking on repetitive tasks and enhancing efficiency.
It's important to note that the video does not suggest that the Unitree G1 robot is currently capable of taking on an opponent. The humanoid robot's kung fu moves, as displayed in an earlier video in March, are more a demonstration of its agility and response to external stimuli than a sign of combat readiness.
In conclusion, the video shared by RoboHub this week highlights exciting advancements in humanoid robotics, with the Unitree G1 robot demonstrating impressive mobility and capabilities. As research and development continue, we can expect to see further improvements in these remarkable machines.
