A Chinese robot demonstrates kung fu
The Chinese robot Unitree G1 can now perform kung fu moves. The control algorithms have been improved, and now the $16,000 humanoid mechanism not only cracks nuts and dances, but also demonstrates combat skills.
The company Unitree Robotics has taught its humanoid robot G1 to perform martial arts elements. In a new video, it demonstrates kung fu-style stances and kicks.
