alt Hacker NewsI am very new to robots and recently decided to go crazy and buy a humanoid from Unitree. I've spent a while building some tools in order to integrate LLMs with vision capabilities that can control the robot motion in a simple manner... and while I saw Opus and Astra crashing against tables, beds and surfaces (yeah, my LIDAR data isn't being used yet), Argon 4 takes a lot of precautions to avoid crashing against walls and other objects! I told my robot to go to a table, and the guy started walking slowly to the table, started steering at it and described the objects in it. Pretty scary for being something I've vibecoded in a matter of hours at home...

Being new to a hobby and spending 30k on a robot is crazy, props to your wealth.
I'd like to do this too.
What's the latency like? Is the llm used to create an instruction set for the robot? How is it interrupted for reflex actions like controlling stumbling?

Do you think the R1 you got can actually be taught to clean dishes and put them in a dishwasher in their specific sections? I see it doing so in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1JIyXM5qGw
