Unitree decided the most effective way to flex its mass-production muscles was to march 49 of its G1 humanoid robots to the Temple of Heaven for a spot of synchronised Kung Fu. It’s a pointed bit of theatre; while much of the competition is still faffing about with PowerPoint presentations on the theory of scaling, Unitree’s CEO has gone on record stating they expect to shift between 10,000 and 20,000 robots this year alone. This isn’t a CGI fever dream; it’s a shipping manifest in motion.
