To be fair to BD, Atlas can lift 50 kg and a Unitree G1 can lift about 2 kg. An Atlas could literally pick up and throw a G1.
They are very different robots with very different goals, so it should be no surprise that the G1 appears much more agile.
Yeah, when the G1s dance with kids, I realized how small they actually were. Definitely not the same category.
The H2 is what everyone is talking about now
some specs here: https://www.unitree.com/H2
claimed 3h battery life, can hold about 10% of its weight (7kg, with arms)
Isn’t it easier to make an agile robot big than to make a big robot agile?
