alt Hacker NewsThe "how" is completely missing, but if they can get this to work semi reliably it will be ChatGPT x100 in terms of impact.

it's a common trope in blogs - "how we did X" means "we did X, it's a good thing, we're great people", etc.

I am hoping they keep lots of their work open source. This is especially the case since hardware would be too expensive for competition to pull off, but it would be interesting to see how they circumvented some problems
I had never heard of Unitree (Chinese robotics company) before today. A lot of their videos look like CGI but apparently the product is real.
What stuck with me the most browsing their website on the G1 model was seeing "Price from $16k"
Now I'm not sure if these are actually purchasable or what the value would be, but it's my first time seeing an actual normal-ish price attached to a humanoid robot that seems to be for sale.
With the rate of advancement we're seeing across the board, it honestly feels like people will have robot assistants at home much sooner than I thought.
