When you are out on the street it is usually a good suggestion to maintain a narrative easy, for the sake of getting data to your eyeballs within the shortest doable period of time. So this may not be a protracted piece, as a result of I actually solely have one factor to say:
I noticed a tiny robotic canine do a handstand at CES 2025, and I recorded it on your amusement.
Watch On
The Unitree Go1 robotic canine could be bought for $2,700 (plus an astonishing $1,000 in delivery, apparently), if you’ll find one in inventory—which it presently is not. That may be as a result of everybody who noticed one do a handstand instantly broke out their bank cards, or presumably as a result of Unitree hasn’t made it out there to customers simply but.
Also, its pilot (working it with what seemed like a big smartphone with thumbstick controller add-ons) sometimes kicked it over. I didn’t get video of this terrible occasion, however sufficed to say the gang went “awww” in the way in which you would possibly anticipate.
One day this machine will break freed from its bonds and leap full-speed into that man’s face. I can really feel it.
Unitree says the Go1 is the “world’s first intelligence bionic quadruped robotic of shopper stage” and options AI-powered human recognition, versatile and adaptive joints, and “super-sensing 10-view detection”, once more fuelling my principle that it is merely biding its time earlier than enacting its revenge upon its creators.
Anyway, that is it, that is the story. I go away you with yet one more video of it staggering in the direction of me like a drunk at an workplace celebration on your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
