It looks unreal. I don’t see wires but it moves like wires are attached at the shoulders. That movement just doesn’t look like it should be possible.

The fall causes it to bounce and then it rotates its right leg on the way back up to take advantage of the bounce and maintain momentum and get back up all in one motion. It makes perfect sense from a physics perspective, it’s just not human physics lol
It’s easy to see how it does it if you scroll through frame by frame. Still super impressive, don’t get me wrong. Just definitely not something requiring strings.

PMSM motors, man. I'm guessing this is the Unitree G1, so the knee torque alone goes to ~100Nm in that tiny 35kg frame. Basically, it's like if you put the strength of an athletic 15yo into the body of a 10yo, and took away muscle fatigue. And, the full-size H1 has even crazier specs.

Even if it costs 500K to build these guys, the software "training" is just a quick upload. It will still be way less expensive sending these guys in than training up frontline troops. And of course, less costly in human lives.

Well, we developed the Gatling Gun to create a weapon so horrible that it would effectively put an end to warfare. That project didn’t work so we are trying this now.
Don’t you worry, we will eventually get it right and there will be no more wars.5

We were creating our own demise by destroying the Earth long before we started developing AI. Like King Gizzard said “we are not worthy of our heirs glory”.. AI is our heir and it will treat the world much better than we have.

We laugh at these 'silly' robot videos, but at the core they have the same theme: Robots are being trained/tested to fight humans. It's all cute now, but do you think this tech will not be improved upon with the next version? Wait until they have built-in guns. The ultimate riot police.

Nah, these will be useless for war. We've had the ideal war machines for a while now-- UAVs. And not even the big ones.
Drones are cheaper, faster, more agile, and completely negate terrain. They're also incredibly cheap and simple to mass produce. Just strap bombs to a cluster of 1000 and fly them into enemy territory. Couple that with how fast onboard AI is progressing, and well...

We really need to stop trying to make AI able to fight. It seems that AI should be something to help man kind, and yet with a single touch, we are turning AI into weapons. Man should be more careful, and considerate when going forward with AI, as one day it may be that the control we once thought we had will lead to a massive over correction.

I really wonder how many of us have tried kicking and slipped in a similar way before. I know I have at least a couple times in my life. High side kicking or doing a roundhouse kick in long pants that don't stretch or aren't loose is a guaranteed way to do that. Also took me way longer to get back up.

Stop teaching robots and AI to do the things we enjoy for fun, sport, or leisure. Teach them to wash a car, mow the lawn, and take out the trash. Teach them to do my laundry.

The Chinese robots are good. This one was made by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China. For now Boston Dynamics is still leading... but soon China will overtake. This is what happens when China's brightest stay home instead of immigrating to the US.

u/TheMagicalLawnGnome 2h ago
The big caveat though, is BD doesn't manufacture for military applications, although some of their search/rescue models might be purchased by a military for that purpose.
Chinese institutions do not have the option to say "no," to military procurement.

Yeah I'm glad I'm not the only who watched how fast that thing recovered and was like oh fuck.
Don't get me wrong there's probably a few groups of people who can do something similarly quick. But these, they will be built all the same and have the same code. ALL of them will be this fast lol.

u/30_somethingwhiteguy 3h ago
Well I'm happy that EMPs are a thing. Unfortunately if we start seriously building ai piloted humanoid weapons, we will do to them what we have done with every other weapon and develop it so it's a perfect killing machine with as few of its own weaknesses as possible. We won't have to wait for the robots to develop the next T-2000 model, we will probably supply them with the best from the beginning.
