The newly released humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics produces waves for its athletic and combat skills while performing the world’s first kip-up, all for $ 6,000, according to New York Post.
This 55 -pound robot, called R1, has 26 flexible joints, allowing it to move dynamically. According to Unitree, a multimodal AI is driven, which is able to recognize voices and pictures.
In a promotional video shared on Friday, the Chinese robotic company is displayed on the grass running, carrying out pegs and handles, and even performing spinning kicks and punch combos, actions that resemble martial arts movements.
With a price of only 39,900 yuan (around $ 5,900), a humanoid robot enters the market at significantly lower costs than most other techniques in their class.
However, shots on the Internet have raised doubts on the Internet, asking whether the display is authentic or created using CGI effects.
Despite buzzing, some online users have expressed a preference for a practical home assistant rather than a robot focused on overturning, tricks and so -called security features.

One of the users said, “Can a vacuum? Can it run a washing machine? Can she fold clothes? Can Iron? Can it cook?” Another remarked: “My daughter makes gymnastics all day. I don’t need a robot.”
Some of the Internet users joked about the robot’s combat skills and witty whether it could defend its owner from bullying. Others remained skeptical and questioned whether marketing shots were reinforced by AI or computer -generated images.
While American societies like Boston Dynamics, known for their Atlas Robots have long led the way in humanoid robotics, a highly functioning robot similar to human people would represent a significant breakthrough for China in the global robotics and dominance of artificial intelligence.
For this innovation, the company already offers a number of robotic products, including robotic weapons, four -legged machines and other humanoids, including a boxing robot with gloves and helmet.

It has a number of flexible joints, can imitate the movement of human hands and is powered by AI, which is claimed by Unitree, “upgrading and developing every day”.
At the top of their assembly is H1, larger and more advanced humanoid price over $ 90,000. It weighs more than £ 100, boasts exceptional speed, force, mobility and can pass a complex terrain. The H1 is also equipped with 3D Sensors Lidar and a deep camera for advanced navigation.
Due to its specifications and performance, the new R1 model enters the market at a surprisingly low price and places it as a potentially changing field in the field.
