Unitree’s G1 humanoid is the latest recruit to the building site, turning its metallic hands to the messy business of plastering—a craft that has remained defiantly human for centuries. This proof-of-concept shows the G1 handling the back-breaking grunt work of broad-stroke application, albeit via teleoperation. Essentially, there’s still a human puppet master pulling the strings from a safe, grit-free distance. Your local plasterer can probably breathe a sigh of relief for now; while the bot can slap on the muck, it still lacks the seasoned finesse needed to achieve that perfect, paint-ready finish.
