A special guest made an appearance at CN's office—the G1 humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics, headquartered in Hangzhou, eastern China. You may recall another model from the company that captivated audiences with its impressive performance at this year's CMG Spring Festival Gala. Let's explore how this advanced visitor left an impact on everyone in the office!
In contrast to the H1 model that showcased its dance skills at the Spring Festival Gala, standing at around 1.8 meters tall and weighing nearly 50 kilograms, the G1 model is smaller and lighter, measuring approximately 1.3 meters and weighing 35 kilograms. With 23 to 43 joint electrodes, the G1 model provides enhanced flexibility, allowing it to perform various tasks, from learning dance routines to conducting simple welding operations with its mechanical arms.
Jin Da, the marketing manager of Unitree Robotics, noted that the advancement of large models like China's DeepSeek opens up endless 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 explained.
One of the key topics during this year's Two Sessions is the idea of new quality productive forces, which highlights the need for blending technological innovation with 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 said, expressing his expectation that humanoid robots could enter our homes within the next decade 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.
