"The robot appears to be a G1 humanoid - a popular bot from Unitree Robotics. It weighs 35 kilograms (77lbs), stands at 1.32 metres (4.33ft) tall, and boasts 23 degrees of freedom in its joints, which gives it more mobility than an average human."
"During a recent demonstration, dozens of Unitree bots took to the stage at the CCTV Spring Festival gala, which is China's most-watched TV show. Wearing red vests, the robots performed kicks, flips, and even moves with nunchucks, swords, and poles."
"However, as the latest incident shows, the bots aren't always so reliable. At the end of last year, a Unitree robot went viral after it kicked a man in the groin, while mimicking his movements."
During a family-friendly dance performance in Shaanxi Province, China, a young boy was struck in the face by a Unitree robot. The robot, performing choreographed movements, veered towards the audience, leading to the incident. Despite the boy's attempts to avoid the robot's flailing limbs, he was unable to escape the collision. The Unitree G1 humanoid robot, known for its advanced mobility and perception system, has previously been involved in other mishaps, raising concerns about safety during performances.
