Being able to remotely perform these tasks is extremely impressive in itself.

Thanks for sharing the comparison! Advancements over the past few years have been amazing. I can't wait for the autonomous, or even partially automated robots to be available for purchase in the pricing mentioned.

Here's the twist: This CNET presenter is actually a fully autonomous humanoid robot.

We will be getting a G1 early next month to review :)! Will be the first in the states with one. If you guys wanna do a collab or something let me know 🙌

1:24 2:18 3:35 Wow, you really turned things around here. Pure genius! Hats off to you. 🎩

Tesla Optimus performs like a middle aged gentleman, Unitree G1 perfoms like an young athlete.

No make no mistake, some robots are going to be for home security as well but what do I know, just a thought🤖🤖

If you’re in the S.F. Bay Area, come see the G1 in person this weekend at GenAI Summit 🤖

Remote telepresence is still amazing. But pure humanoid form has less use than Dr. Octopus

[Clark-Mills]

I think it would be unwise for anyone to put development androids amongst the general public without many safeguards. It's just too early; a controlled lab situation with many controls is quite different.

Seeing Tesla Optimus and Unitree G1 compared is fascinating, but the price is a whole other story. Optimus feels like a sci-fi dream, but it’s way out of reach for most people. G1’s agility is cool, and it’s more affordable, but it still feels like this tech is more for companies than everyday life. I’ll just enjoy watching from the sidelines for now!

Unitree G1 giving atom in real steel type of vibes

Robot + AI + Quantum Computing = Ta-da 🤗 🎉

[mackan]

Thanks for this video. Unbiased and well balanced

[Mariobrownio]

Whatever is cheap and reliable will win it all. We don't need fancy

[captinzoom]

When Lockheed Martin starts making and selling these to the US Army I Will be worried .

[Anti-You]

If you want a fair comparison, then put the two robots in an octagon and have them fight for dominance.

[RhysWerner]

Once the optimus comes out and is actually reviewed then i might consider. But knowing elon i might wait a while

[AdiGV]

Seen what unite we could do autonomously at CES2025? Loved the Elon Musk “Some Day” ref 😂

$16k price tag beats a dishwasher who makes $23k a year.. That's a steal if you ask me.
