Recently, Hangzhou Unitree Robotics gained widespread attention after its G1 humanoid robot performed a groundbreaking side flip. The company shared a video on Weibo showcasing this remarkable feat, marking the world's first instance of a humanoid robot executing a side flip in place.
Reflecting on last year's achievement, Unitree's 1.8-meter tall H1 robot had completed the world's first electric-driven humanoid robot flip. This time, the G1 took on an even greater challenge. In the video, the G1 robot gracefully arcs in the air before landing securely, demonstrating its impressive motion control abilities, all while experiencing no malfunctions during the filming process.
To further promote its technology, Unitree announced the "Unitree Robot Side Flip Challenge," inviting participants worldwide to mimic G1's movements. The competition will last for three months, with winners eligible to receive a G1 humanoid robot or other equivalent prizes
The Unitree G1 is the company's second humanoid robot, launched last May with a starting price of RMB 99,000, positioning it as a more accessible option in the market. Officially described as a "humanoid intelligence entity, an avatar of AI," the G1 features 23 to 43 joint motors and supports both imitation and reinforcement learning, showcasing rapid advancements in robotics technology driven by AI.
Additionally, Wang Xingxing, the general manager and chief technology officer of Unitree Technology, has been nominated for the Zhejiang Provincial Youth May Fourth Medal. This recognition highlights his contributions to technological innovation. Meanwhile, the Hangzhou Youke Interactive Technology team, known for developing "Black Myth: Wukong," has been identified as the only collective nominated for this prestigious award, underscoring the vibrant atmosphere of youth innovation in Zhejiang Province.
