China’s $6000 Humanoid Robot by Unitree

Chinese startup Unitree Robotics has just unveiled its humanoid robot R1, priced at only $5,900 — a true game-changer in the world of robotics! 🤖

Weighing just 25 kg, R1 features 26 joints and a multimodal AI system capable of recognizing both voices and images.

Unitree already controls 60–69% of the global market for quadruped robots, with production costs up to 75% lower than industry giants like Boston Dynamics.

The launch of R1 comes just as Shanghai hosts one of the world’s largest AI forums, gathering top tech minds from around the globe.

Robots are becoming more affordable than smartphones. Soon, having a personal robotic assistant at home might be the new normal!
