The PIN code system protecting the robot's video feed — and remote control feature — was also known to be faulty, and the warning sound that is meant to play when the #camera is being watched was able to be disabled from afar.

Unitree says its $16K #humanoid #robot is ready for #mass #production.

The Chinese company just shared footage of the pint-sized G1 #humanoid robot, saying it's been #upgraded for scale. With the milestone, #China is on track to meet its #2025 target for mass producing humanoid #robots.

The relatively low price tag opens accessibility to advanced humanoid robotics to a broader range of users from researchers to entrepreneurs to hobbyists.

Unitree says the design enhances the robot's strength. The design is optimized for large-scale manufacturing.

The G1 stands 1.3 meters tall and folds into a compact size for easy storage. It weighs 35 kg.

The G1 features 23 to 43 joint motors depending on the model. It walks at speeds up to 2 meters per second. Its battery provides about 2 hours of use per charge, with quick-release functionality for easy swapping
