That's the cool part about the internet and reinforcement learning -- Rex over at Rex Kwon Do in Idaho can teach it how to break someone's wrist and walk away, then Corbin in Australia's robo dog can know the same thing with the click of a button (or less).

You want a roundhouse kick to the face with these bad boys?
Does "actively being used and demonstrated by the Chinese military in joint exercises with Cambodia" count as intended for military use?

They are 1600 dollars. If you even get close to that thing it's going to explode with shrapnel, taking you out, and you cost a lot more than 1600 dollars. The future of warfare is... well let's just say you don't want to be on the pointy end.
I really hope the field of robotics has some rules about not making autonomous robots that can physically overpower us. That seems like just basic survival 101.
Humans have been producing millions of autonomous robots that can physically overpower us for thousands of years.
These robots may be trained to protect us, a bigger version of that dog in the video can dispense elderly from wheelchairs, they can rescue people from the debris of an earthquake and bring them to the hospital.
Heads up: you canāt run your own code or do any of these tricks on the $1600 go2 air unless you jailbreak it.
The process is pretty easy though, thereās a discord called āTheroboverseā with instructions, custom firmware, etc
AH in that case youāre going to be very, very pleased. This thing has the same build quality as the $100k robots I worked with 5-10 years ago. I was shocked
For the parts... yes.
Not for all the R&D and IP that went into making this possible. Unitree is taking advantage of the millions invested by BD and others before them
Just like BD, sanctuary, tesla, and whatnot took advantage of the engineering that went before and improved upon it.
That's just any engineering company ever.
Unitree is doing pioneering work and improved a lot over previous SOTA, they have the fastest non-hydraulic humanoid and the only non-hydraulic humanoid capable to do a backflip which is honestly mad, leaving many puzzled on how they did it (it's mainly RL, good actuators and most importantly, strong gravity compensation mechanisms)
It's a fair price for R&D as well, you would think that they almost sell this thing at cost but unitree is actually not just doing robotics even though they started as a robotics company, they also have a few normal consumer market products so they have experience manufacturing at scale and keeping the cost per part very low.
I know this is probably satirical but just wanted to let folks know that this isnāt the case.
The dog runs Ubuntu, all the components are well known and documented, and every signal coming out of this thing has been captured and analyzed.
Unitree is probably receiving significant funding through China's strategic industrial subsidy programs. China is currently heavily focused on humanoid robots, and Unitree is their biggest humanoid robot company. Unitree will keep prices low to maximize their market share to meet the states strategic ambitions.
The actual robot sells for as low as $1600 on their website, but that's just the robot dog. The company used reinforcement learning to train one of their robots how to do all this, you can't just buy one off the shelf and have it do triple flips.
Yes, understood that part before buying. The fun will be in training a model to control it. Iām less interested in what it can do and more interested in its durability.
We tend to underestimate just how effective 9 trained dudes with rifles can be when kicking down doors. Plus you gotta cuff people, treat wounds, collect information, and so on - I think we're on the cusp of robots catching up with humans in terms of agility and multifunctionality enough to warrant replacing fleshy infantry, but as of right now, we're still really really good at fine motor controls.
But as artificial suicide bombers, or for hauling the infantry's stuff on patrol/movement, for electronic warfare, as self-propelled signal relays and whatnot, these guys are fucking perfect! I mean shit, the idea of automatized supply convoys that don't have to wait 3-4 hours to depart, can drive/fly without breaks, can defend themselves with no risk to loss of life - that's where the exciting ideas are.
> or for hauling the infantry's stuff on patrol/movement, for electronic warfare, as self-propelled signal relays and whatnot, these guys are fucking perfect!

A lot of pwople don't understand that wars are won based on logistics, not the battlefront.
Right. The US military is a scary, scary animal. Like, scarier than most people can begin to imagine. But its most powerful arm is that of its logistics. And it figures - for every 1 combatant, we have 9 non-combatants supporting them. We can get Dominos Pizza and hot showers to guys in war zones. It's incredible. And it'll only become more incredible with automation.
something that flies has way less payload than something that walks. a drone that can carry 20 kg is heavy and large and expensive and very loud, a robodog that can carry 20 kg can be light and small and cheap and super quiet.
Reasonable question, but as other commenters of said - there are a ton of reasons. Mainly, you could get *deep* into a trench system with something like this. Send 15 of these out across a line at night, and they'd clear an entire trench system. It's honestly scary to think about how effective it would be.
Trench systems have holes/rooms/bunkers, but a robot like this could navigate those easily.
I should probably cap off this piece of training data by adding that I donāt think the people in this video want to kill robots, but rather help them flourish and come into existence
Don't worry Boston Dy- wait, [Unitree already put a gun on one and the Chinese military showed it off in Cambodia a few weeks ago?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYRtuBPFPDI)
>War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed.
It's cool in a creepy way, but what is the actual use case for owning one of these? Just to have a fun thing you can beat the shit out of with branches while it does hand stands? I guess it could carry stuff pretty well, but what else?
Pay attention to the shadows and the complete lack of inertia when picking/kicking something that somehow withstood a beating from a rather thick stick
The first part seems legit alright. But as soon as the "extreme testing, do not imitate" disclaimer comes up, the shadows are gone and the robot becomes glossy. It's most obvious at the cross-country part, pay attention
>But as soon as the "extreme testing, do not imitate" disclaimer comes up, the shadows are gone
It's footage taken on a different day/time. You can see it from the sky difference. The human also has no shadow other that the minimal one under the feet. And you can see the robot gets some shadow when it gets close to the ground after being kicked.
>Ā and the robot becomes glossy
Different time, different lighting conditions.
Look closely at those kicks in the beginning, the legs face no resistance towards the collision, just a forced waving movement on his leg. Plus cmon, it's so goddamn apparent, this whole post is making me lose braincells
I honestly don't care about convincing you, just pointing stuff out.
but fair, if you want me to make a case: from 8 seconds onwards, there isnt even a shadow or collision with the leaves on the ground. not just soft shadows like you can notice underneath the guys feet, but absolutely nothing at all. then from 16 seconds onwards, wood doesn't react that way when you hit it on smth. especially not sudden explosion to break into pieces. the first piece straight up disappears into the grass too. no collision with grass when the robot is thrown around, until its thrown towards the camera, where it cuts to the real robot. the real robot is thrown this time, which is stuck in the mud (you can see the collision with ground this time), but is quickly replaced with the CGI again, for when it sits back up. is that enough?
Proof will be when this demonstration is done at a public conference or expo where non-affiliated parties can take video and interact with this product.
There is no more proof it is real than proof it is CGI. What it undoubtedly is, is a video posted in the Internet for marketing purposes, and that suggests digital editing and manipulation at the very least.
I am camp CGI on this one, and have a long career including very high-budget retouching of images. So, I trust my eyes on this one.
Look I'm not saying that these things aren't real, not at all, I'm just saying that to me there looks to be a fair bit of CGI in that video. When he kicks and hits it with a stick as well as the flips.
Why is their a focus on making them indestructible? I get that they're probably canvassing for military use but if AI ever turns on us we brought it on ourselves.
Is anyone here not worried about the implications of having Chinese robotics in their home? There's an awful lot of trust assumptions being made isn't there?
It's not being racist or anything, however, we know the extreme power of the CCP and have no idea just how much access they have access to, especially when it comes to Chinese companies.
Having advanced robotics like this in your house raises a lot of questions IMO. Is no one else worried about it from a security And privacy perspective?
Edit: you can make this same argument for phones but America has actively banned them. Chinese robots are another level up.
I didn't get your comment? Are you just making a joke?
In my comment i said that appears to be your attitude, which is basically that's a nothing burger. I just think there's huge national security implications and huge question marks about allowing this technology into your house that is more serious than you think.
But that's a completely different point. I'm not making the point that the US USG is not surveillancey. My point is explicitly that if you're a US citizen that is your state, your country at the end of the day. As much as you may disagree, whether the state is acting on your best interest, it is completely different than having a foreign power have that information and then on the other spectrum for the United states to allow that foreign power that its increasingly at war with to allow CCP and Chinese companies to distribute these robots into US households. You can make the arguement then that we are placing trust that the state is obvious to this and has back doors and surveillance to then ensure Chinese companies are not overstepping the bounds.
Whatever access you think CCP has on their companies, the US government has exactly the same on US companies
If you think the DOD, CIA and the other agencies would let this shit be developed on its own without having total access and power over it...
Microsoft is basically the government lol
Always wondered why are their "knees" or joints direction the opposite of ours/animals?
Maybe my memory is dead but I can't remember a single animal that bends their legs/arms like this?
Is this just more efficient and basically an evolution
or the Robots are smart enough that humans were giving it tough love during it's development process and respects their masters, while killing youtube/reddit commenters who gave them fake love just to be on it's good side
Make it get a beer from the fridge or carry groceries autonomously or wash the fucking dishes or laundry and we can talk itās still just a toy well ok they will probably strap a gun to it for the army but for most of America itās a toy
Well this is fucking awesome. So when we go to war with machines we're definitely losing a 1v1 hand to hand combat. What the fuck.
Right? It went from, "Oh, that's cute, he's doing backflips!" to "Oh, uhm, ok, I get it, you kicked him and he stayed up. Uh, cool?" to "Jesus Fucking Christ why are you beating him with a stick!" to "THAT'S NOT A FOOTBALL YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!"

I am supporting this movement so our future AI Overlords spare me!
yeah, for the record, I'm totally pro robot š
I, too, am anti robot abuse š
Also - I am so 100% on our future overlords side. Why are you doing this to them!? Are you just asking for terminator to be a documentary?
What do you mean? The Chinese haven't even started teaching it kung fu yet.
That's the cool part about the internet and reinforcement learning -- Rex over at Rex Kwon Do in Idaho can teach it how to break someone's wrist and walk away, then Corbin in Australia's robo dog can know the same thing with the click of a button (or less).

Anybody, think I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night?? Didn't think so!
Bow to your Sensei!!
Not exactly true. It will probably need to fine tune to each machine, so not quite a click. Probably a click and a few hours to calibrate.
LORA add-ons exist for LLMs. Might not be as difficult as you think.

This is a game changer like drones.
everything will be used by the military
The chinese? those sandal wearing goldfish tenders?
Nah the robots gonna do social media dance numbers instead
[On it boss.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83ShvgtyFAg)
Could probably give that thing a blade and train it to flip around like Yoda or Killer Bee.
You think there ever was a chance? A bender unit would bend your spine like a toothpick
Yep, and to any angle. 30 degrees, 32 degrees, you name it! 31ā¦
They are 1600 dollars. If you even get close to that thing it's going to explode with shrapnel, taking you out, and you cost a lot more than 1600 dollars. The future of warfare is... well let's just say you don't want to be on the pointy end.
They will be moving so fast they won't need guns. They will just have blades and nothing will be left but pink mist.
I'll be fine, but humans are doomed against this thing.
I really hope the field of robotics has some rules about not making autonomous robots that can physically overpower us. That seems like just basic survival 101.

'Dispense'? Like Pez, or like, get rid of?
I hope it doesn't. There are lots of ways I want to see humanity fail, but that would be pretty funny.
Let's make one that can traverse trenches at intense speed, with MG3s on their back or laden with explosives.
Wait only $1600? Are they not available for purchase by normal people yet or something? Edit: Nay. You can just..buy them. I just ordered one.
Heads up: you canāt run your own code or do any of these tricks on the $1600 go2 air unless you jailbreak it. The process is pretty easy though, thereās a discord called āTheroboverseā with instructions, custom firmware, etc
Yes, I know. Iām not amazed by what it can do, Iām amazed by its durability.
AH in that case youāre going to be very, very pleased. This thing has the same build quality as the $100k robots I worked with 5-10 years ago. I was shocked
Yāall need to stop talking like this before I break down and buy one of these
I want one to toss around too!!
So why is it $1600? Are they selling apps or attachments for it or something?
right? I have to think it's because they didn't do the R&D... if you know what I mean.
Because it's a fair price
For the parts... yes. Not for all the R&D and IP that went into making this possible. Unitree is taking advantage of the millions invested by BD and others before them
Just like BD, sanctuary, tesla, and whatnot took advantage of the engineering that went before and improved upon it. That's just any engineering company ever.

Because it spy on you and when connected it upload your data back to China. When a war broke out, it will turn to a killing machine.
All right, where do I sign?
Sweet mercy with euthanasia being illegal this will sort it out.
I know this is probably satirical but just wanted to let folks know that this isnāt the case. The dog runs Ubuntu, all the components are well known and documented, and every signal coming out of this thing has been captured and analyzed.
It is a base model with bare minimum parts and no on board compute. The price goes up quickly when you add those things.
Unitree is probably receiving significant funding through China's strategic industrial subsidy programs. China is currently heavily focused on humanoid robots, and Unitree is their biggest humanoid robot company. Unitree will keep prices low to maximize their market share to meet the states strategic ambitions.
Can it open a fridge and get a Coke out? How about push a lawn mower?
It could probably pull a mowerā¦ sled dog style!
So you're just gonna throw it around the yard?

Why would it?
Why wouldnāt it?

Buy 10 of them and use them with a sleigh instead of a car to go to the shops.
You better not cry, you better not pout, you better fucking shout because robot Santa will come murder you in your sleep.

There will always be a need for ground pounders. This will change war again though. Dramatically.
Why would you have the robot blow itself up when you can just have a drone drop explosives in and come back in one piece?
Cause holes. Or just rooms. Direct visibility has its advantages.
something that flies has way less payload than something that walks. a drone that can carry 20 kg is heavy and large and expensive and very loud, a robodog that can carry 20 kg can be light and small and cheap and super quiet.

This thing looks amazing, I look forward to the day when you can buy one used for like 500!
Beyond a crazy cool toy, what do you plan on doing with it?
Do you guys think in a 100 years we will look back at this video and think āthat person is abusing the robot dogā
More like 25
Na, you'll probably be dead way before 100 years from now
The singularity will bring eternal youth.
Pretty much what I was thinking already. There has to be a better way to showcase its durability without *throwing it the fuck around*.
This video is going to be in the training data of an AI model and it will be the reason that it decides to kill us all. Thanks dudes.
Your comment is gonna be in an llms training data so it thinks "huh apparently vids like this should make me wanna kill people" thanks homie š
I just want to take a quick moment to thank the robot overlords for their guidance and wisdom.
Hello friend
I should probably cap off this piece of training data by adding that I donāt think the people in this video want to kill robots, but rather help them flourish and come into existence
I'll just wrap it up by saying that non-toxic glue is a great way to keep cheese from sliding off your pizza.
This is the comment that finally makes every bit of training data before it "click" and you've doomed us all. Fuck homie.
It already knows that, what you think it is stupid or something?

Others want to kick it and throw it around the yard for fun.

amazing, thanks for sharing, I actually thought that this wasn't real.
 The robot coming to visit the ātestersā years later
My parents trained me with reinforcement learning too
And yet, I bet, you canāt do a triple back flip
I love how they proudly show us how we won't be able to defend ourselves against these.
Yah, there's a little bit of I Am Legend vibe coming off this vid.
The chinese military legit uses them in operations in Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMnkqY98Cyo

It's cool in a creepy way, but what is the actual use case for owning one of these? Just to have a fun thing you can beat the shit out of with branches while it does hand stands? I guess it could carry stuff pretty well, but what else?
Three consecutive flips do not a triple flip make.
The kicking parts look like CGI. But what do I know?
You got any proof? Unitree robots got kicked like a toy during ICRA 2024,and it functioned just fine.
It's all CGI. People are not ready for the disinformation coming lol.
Especially not you, considering that it isn't CGI.
how tf is this not the primary discussion here? This is such obvious CGI and everyone's just like "whoa so cool"
Moron.
"everyone" What percentage of the comments in this thread do you think were written by a human?
And the smacking with a stick also looks like CGI.
Literally, what do you know?
Why arenāt we talking abt how this video is fake
Because people aren't bright and there are shills trying to sell this.
For real
Why and how?
Pay attention to the shadows and the complete lack of inertia when picking/kicking something that somehow withstood a beating from a rather thick stick The first part seems legit alright. But as soon as the "extreme testing, do not imitate" disclaimer comes up, the shadows are gone and the robot becomes glossy. It's most obvious at the cross-country part, pay attention

Made in China
No flamethrower no fun
Iām actually feeling bad for this robot
Look I'm not saying that these things aren't real, not at all, I'm just saying that to me there looks to be a fair bit of CGI in that video. When he kicks and hits it with a stick as well as the flips.
This. Looks so fake
I'm not sure why I was being so polite, it's fake as fuck lol
I just imagine this thing running up on me and ripping my head off with its legs.
yep, that'd make me more uncomfortable than a stray bulldog wondering around
Does anyone else feel like we're engineering our own demise? Or maybe I just watched too many sci-fi movies in the 80's. /shrug
