- r00fus 2y agoThe country where Unitree is based has not been in a major war in the past 30-40 years. Sure companies based in the western world can take inspiration from this but given the US-China conflict apparently in the works, it seems the advanced tech would be on the Chinese side.

Unitree is ahead of the game with their hardware+software ecosystem though.
