Unitree’s G1 Humanoid Busts Wild Moves via Open-Source AI

It appears the Unitree G1 has decided to trade its industrial roots for a crack at interpretive dance, showing off a range of full-body movements that are, frankly, smoother than they have any right to be. The real masterstroke? This isn’t some top-secret sorcery brewed in a multi-million-pound lab; it’s all powered by an open-source motion-tracking stack from HybridRobotics. This effectively transforms a $16,000 (roughly £12,500) humanoid into a budding martial arts virtuoso the moment you peel off the plastic.
