Are all the videos on the main page CGI? Sure looks like it. The demo with the walnuts and coke sure looks like CGI. So this is like a kickstarter where they promise the world using CGI/mockups and then maybe deliver?

It's real https://twitter.com/NathanTylerP/status/1790185945372999696/photo/1 https://twitter.com/NathanTylerP/status/1790185945372999696/... https://x.com/NathanTylerP/status/1790177617771180236 https://x.com/NathanTylerP/status/1790177617771180236 Unitree already makes a larger humanoid called H1 that has shipped to customers, and they have manufactured cheap robot dogs in volume for many years. They are a legit company. The only thing questionable here is the price, it'll probably be more than quoted. But it'll still be cheap for a humanoid.

  How much of it is real? You are linking to images of the robot in a static pose. The videos of it moving that I have seen, and I did some Twitter searches, are all CGI. I have no doubt they will sell a robot, but it isn't clear it will move like in robot the CGI videos or have those capabilities.

    > How much of it is real? You are linking to images of the robot in a static pose. Last year, I had a chance to see Unitree H1 in action, in person. It's their previous model, a bigger one. Still, it was very real, very capable and very scary. I suppose, the choice to make a smaller G1 is in part to make it less dangerous, both perceptually and because it's less mass and energy.

    Most people who claim "it's CGI" about anything and everything can't tell good CGI from bad.

    If their Go2 video is anything to go by, you should take this video with a grain of salt and expect about 50% of the demos to actually work

It's more obvious that it's real in the original video: https://www.unitree.com/images/Unitree%20G1%20EN%201080p%20%281%29.mp4 https://www.unitree.com/images/Unitree%20G1%20EN%201080p%20%...
