"Unitree has quickly established itself as the brand to beat in the humanoids robotics industry, wowing observers with a string of headline-grabbing demos of its bots' abilities in everything from acrobatics to basketball to manual labor to public rizz."
"The outfit has further differentiated itself with an explosive new offering: a fully functional 500 kilogram mecha suit called the GD01 that a human operator can climb inside and operate like a much larger body."
"Sure, it's smaller than the towering fictional warriors of "Neon Genesis Evangelion." And instead of a mighty robotic physique, it's got spindly arms and legs that give it a vaguely goofy vibe. But it's also an unmistakable feat of engineering, with a video showing the bot striding confidently, knocking over a brick wall with its mighty fist, and even clambering down into a gait that might euphemistically be described as a horse - and perhaps more accurately as a demon scuttle."
"It looks fun, but it doesn't come cheap: Unitree's says it's offering the futuristic vehicle for a starting price of $650,000 and a very particular pinky promise. "We kindly request hat all users refrain from making any dangerous modifications or using the robot in a hazardous manner," the company said in its announcement."
Unitree has become a leading humanoid robotics brand through demonstrations of advanced capabilities. The company introduced the GD01, a fully functional 500 kilogram mecha suit that a human operator can climb into and control like a larger body. The suit is smaller than iconic fictional mecha and uses spindly limbs that create a playful appearance, while still demonstrating engineering capability. A video shows the mecha striding confidently, knocking over a brick wall with a fist, and descending using a gait that resembles a horse-like or demon-like scuttle. Unitree lists a starting price of $650,000 and requests users avoid dangerous modifications or hazardous use.
