? Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot interactions with the public, not Unitree’s.

Everyone can program a robot to perform some pre-defined actions.

Yes it was Unitree that kicked its operator.

Most human interaction with robots are either remote controlled or programed, actual autonomous movement is rare. I've seen some videos of BD robots doing it, but few others.

tamsen is correct in saying that robots are not ready yet for human facing applications, industrial is where its at.

Not sure what one you saw but the one I saw came out 2 months ago and was pretty similar to Boston dynamics.

Keep in mind, Ubtech has already make robots for factories and ramped up production, BD has not. That is a bid difference.

Please link the video, I looked on youtube and douyin for the Ubtech videos and they were all pretty stiff.

I watched the Atlas show. What they showed wasn’t independent. They said it themselves. It’s supposed to operate independently at the factory.

I didn’t hear any criticism of how Atlas’ hand flew in the faces of all that said it was all about how the hand had to replicate the human hand exactly. Here… that’s all of the sudden not important.

this is really impressive, level of articulation, smoothness of motion, and practical functionally is superb.

is it a joke? Most Chinese companies are busy playing kung fu while the ones showcasing industrial applications don't have the level of sophistication that the latest Boston Dynamics robot show's.

Look at MindOn's demo then look at the Boston Dynamics, and tell me Boston Dynamics doesn't look pathetic.

Factory robots in control environments putting things in pre-determined locations has already been done for decades, the fact that its 2026 and BD still hasn't even shown Atlas walking on uneven terrain or interact with anything dynamic makes you almost wonder if they're stuck on a wrong tech path.

Self Changing battery. The gait looks smooth to me. Keep in mind, this is already a mass produced factory version that's is already being used.


Also xpeng iron also performing hand based tasks

The main worth while news recently around Boston Dynamics is the partnership with Google Deep Mind. Boston Dynamics is clearly no match for China on commercially viable hardware, but when it comes to software, there's a chance they can do something with Google's help. The Deep Mind lab is well-known for its world class RL expertise and RL has been key to complex behavior in robotics in recent times.

Again, show me a Boston Dynamics robot video showing it doing stuffs in public to prove your point of their robot is lightyears ahead of Chinese ones, instead of doing preprogrammed moves in a controlled environment.

I'm not sure if he actually watched the whole video. They literally couldn't even bring a production model to the public unveiling, only a static display. How "production" ready can it be when you can't even spare ONE for a public unveiling?

there are plenty of Chinese factories now using AI robots. Boston Dynamics has been around for more than a decade. What have they actually sold thus far?

Here is Dreame's home robots from CES. Yes, the type of robots people actually need, not the stupid humanoid crap.

Show me a chinese robot interacting with the public that isn't remote controlled or preprogrammed, this is a bizzare ask when it's not been demonstrated by anyone in the industry
