China's Unitree Robotics is a relatively recent entry in the general-purpose humanoid robot space, but its $16,000 G1 model is already proving itself to be quite the performer. So much so that the company has now revealed a version that's ready for mass production.

Regius Prof Lee Cronin and I discussed a similar robotic solution to make and fly tiny aircraft, to see how far they fly when the robot launches them. Growing them in a Chemputer. About 6 or 7 years ago. We should have done it.
Similar principles in this interesting work.
Whose Ready to Own A Humanoid Robot?

Making #Robocop Series: A Running Robot?
The Unitree Robotics H1 has been making literal leaps and bounds in the world of robotics. Not only can it run and climb stairs, its advanced AI Computer Vision modeling also allows it to rapidly learn from copying human movement while learning from its environment.
While it may be a few years yet, Humanoid robots will soon become a part of our daily life. How will we accept and adapt? What can we do to ensure we are working with and not battling against the robots?
I don't mind doing dishes but I believe everyone could benefit from someone to help out when we need an extra hand around the home or office.

The Astribot S1 is indeed a remarkable achievement in the field of robotics. Unveiled in Shenzhen, China, this humanoid robot has been praised for its agility, dexterity, and precision1. It’s capable of performing movements at a maximum speed of 10 meters per second and can manage a payload of 22 pounds per arm2. The S1 robot is designed to perform household tasks with ‘human-like’ speed and precision, which marks a significant advancement in autonomous robotics.
Astribot, a subsidiary of Stardust Intelligence, has not shared much technical information about the S1 or its training process. However, the robot has demonstrated impressive capabilities in a video, such as pulling a tablecloth from beneath a stack of wine glasses without causing them to topple, and executing intricate tasks like opening and pouring wine, delicately shaving a cucumber, flipping a sandwich in a frying pan, and performing calligraphy.
The S1 is currently undergoing rigorous testing and is expected to be commercially available in 20244. It’s exciting to see such advancements in robotics, and the S1 is a testament to the potential of AI and machine learning in creating robots that can assist with everyday tasks.

Boston Dynamics all but trade-marked jaw-dropping robot videos with its hydraulics-power Atlas robot's dancing and parkouring videos. Now it's upped the ante and I'm scraping my jaw off the floor again after watching the brief introduction video for its all-electric and completely redesigned Atlas robot.
The All New Atlas is Boston Dynamic's first all-electric humanoid robot and the robotics firm claims it's stronger and more agile than all previous iterations. What jumps out at me in the video, though, is the robot's far more human-like body.
Where the hydraulics-based Atlas always looked charmingly like a mash-up between a line-backer and some scaffolding, the new Atlas is much more in the vein of Tesla's Optimus, and Figure AI's Figure 01, quickly shifting the legendary robotics company back into a pole position in the growing humanoid robotics race. What stuns here, though, is not just the robot's looks, it's how the New Atlas moves.

Buckle up, because the future of movement is here: the Unitree H1 robot!
This groundbreaking humanoid robot just shattered the world record for walking speed, clocking in at a jaw-dropping 3.3 meters per second (that's 11.9 km/h)! That's faster than many humans can run, and the H1 doesn't stop there. It can also tackle stairs, jump, and even dance!
This is just the beginning of what robots are capable of, and the potential applications are mind-boggling. Imagine the impact on industries like logistics, healthcare, and even entertainment! What do you think these advancements mean for the future of work and our world?

Your friendly annual reminder that impressive-looking humanoid robot videos are almost always an illusion, a parlor trick. You're not seeing the human technicians that are remotely, precisely, and very carefully controlling the robot's every move, making it look like the robot is *much* more capable than it actually is. https://lnkd.in/edyUTk2D
The Relentless Pursuit of Robotic Autonomy.
From cold-calling obscurity to the forefront of AI robotics, Brett Adcock, an ex-recruitment consultant, defied conventions.
With an insatiable curiosity and unwavering tenacity, he assembled a dream team of over 80 experts, amassing a staggering 100 years of combined AI and humanoid robotics experience.
Adcock's relentless questioning and fundraising prowess paved the way for Figure, a trailblazing company poised to revolutionize industries with Figure 01 the world's first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robot.
This remarkable feat, born from Adcock's vision and his team's expertise, promises to redefine labor dynamics and eliminate hazardous jobs, ushering in a new era of robotic autonomy.
