Unitree G1 Robot – Nails Side Flip After AI Upgrade
“Watch closely—because this humanoid robot just pulled off a side flip.”
“This is Unitree’s G1, and thanks to a recent AI upgrade, it’s now performing advanced acrobatics with ease. In the video, the robot crouches, launches into the air, rotates sideways—and sticks the landing like it’s been training for a robot Olympics.”
“How? It’s all thanks to reinforcement learning—a method where the robot learns by doing. Think trial and error, but with fewer scraped knees.”
“Last year, G1 mastered the backflip. Now, with faster, smarter software, it’s taking things to the next level—literally.”
“But G1 isn’t just a gymnast. In a martial arts demo, it even disarmed an opponent with a swift spinning kick. So, not someone—or something—you want to challenge to a sparring match.”
“The robot stands 4.3 feet tall, weighs just 77 pounds, and is packed with tech—like LIDAR, depth cameras, and 23 degrees of freedom for smooth, natural movement.”
“Unitree envisions the G1 helping in homes, on factory floors, and even in rescue missions. For now though, it’s showing off… and we’re kind of here for it.”
