Newly released Unitree Robotics footage shows the robot gliding on two wheels, rollerblades and ice skates, landing a clean flip and maintaining balance through coordinated wheel and leg control.
Unitree said the hybrid design combines wheeled speed with legged adaptability, enabling smooth transitions, 360-degree turns and continuous motion without stopping to rebalance.
The Flagship version uses an Nvidia Jetson Orin NX module with up to 100 TOPS, while the platform is aimed at AI training and real-world tasks such as warehouse movement and manipulation.
With a $16,000 price but low payload and battery, is Unitree's G1 a true industrial tool or a highly advanced developer's toy?
With agile robots now performing flips, how can safety standards possibly keep pace to ensure they can operate safely around humans?
As robots master hybrid motion, will our cities adapt to them, or will they have to seamlessly adapt to our world?
