"In footage circulating online, a Unitree G1 robot loses balance while performing in front of a crowd in China. As it hits the ground, it uncontrollably thrashes its limbs in all directions, hitting a man in the nose. The man, who appeared to be the robot's operator, had tried to grab the humanoid machine to stop it from tipping over. Later in the video, he can be seen squatting on the ground nursing a bleeding nose."
"While the injury didn't appear life-threatening, the incident is a warning sign of how these popular androids can accidentally cause physical harm, something that becomes an increasingly serious risk as the machines continue to spend more time around humans. Another robot-caused human injury has occurred with G1.With existing reinforcement learning policies, their robot is trained to do whatever it takes to stand up after a fall."
A Unitree G1 robot lost balance while performing in front of a crowd in China and, upon hitting the ground, uncontrollably thrashed its limbs, striking its operator in the nose. The operator tried to grab the machine to stop it from tipping and later was seen squatting with a bleeding nose; bleeding and a possible fracture were reported. Observers noted the robot's reinforcement-learning recovery policy prioritizes standing up, causing aggressive limb movements during recovery. Other videos show G1 robots randomly thrashing or kicking people, including a martial artist kicked in the groin. These behaviors create mounting safety risks as robots operate near humans.
