Vlog: Taking Unitree's humanoid robot on a tour of the CGTN office

A special guest visited CN's office – the G1 humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics, located in Hangzhou, eastern China. You might recall another model from the company that captivated audiences at this year's CMG Spring Festival Gala. Check out how this high-tech visitor impressed everyone in the office!
In comparison to the H1 model that showcased its dancing skills at the Spring Festival Gala, the G1 model is smaller and lighter; it stands at about 1.3 meters tall and weighs 35 kilograms, while the H1 is around 1.8 meters and nearly 50 kilograms. Featuring 23 to 43 joint electrodes, the G1 offers enhanced flexibility, allowing it to learn dance moves as well as perform basic welding operations using its mechanical arms.
Jin Da, marketing manager at Unitree Robotics, highlighted that the development of larger models like China's DeepSeek opens up numerous possibilities for the robotics industry.
"The development of large models provides a solid foundation for robots. This includes improvements in computational power and applications in various other areas," he said.
A key subject at this year's Two Sessions is the idea of new quality productive forces, focusing on the synergy of technological innovation and industrial advancement.
"In the future, I believe the application scenarios for humanoid robots will start in large-scale environments like factories and gradually transition to household use," Jin noted, adding that humanoid robots could begin entering homes within ten years or even sooner.
"Throughout this development process, we can see that humanoid robots are receiving a lot of attention. The more attention they receive, the more talent and companies will get involved, leading to further innovation and expansion. It's a positive cycle," he added.
