[Music] unit tree just unveiled new video of its G1 robot jumping spinning getting harassed climbing stairs and just turning up the company says the video marks g1's upgrade to the mass production model here's everything we know about this humanoid robot and how it Stacks up to the competition at about 4 ft and 4 in tall the G1 isn't meant to intimidate with its size for comparison Boston Dynamics lists its Atlas robot as about 5 ft tall figure 2 is about 5 1/2 ft tall digit from agility robotics is about 5'9 in tall and Tesla's Optimus
Gen 2 is nearly 6 ft tall the G1 learns new tasks both in simulation and by mimicking human demonstrators these are very common training techniques in the humanoid robotics industry from nvidia's Project Groot to Tesla's Optimus unit tree has released clips of its G1 robot manipulating various objects performing various tasks and navigating uneven terrain all these are relatively common benchmarks in the development of humanoid robots that we've seen before from other companies unit tre's G1 weighs less than 80 lbs significantly lighter than Tesla's Optimus Atlas from Boston Dynamics and the figure 2 all of which
weigh over 100 lb being lighter May proved to be advantageous in terms of cost shipping and the Fear Factor a lighter robot may be less likely to cause damage if it becomes sentient and seeks revenge the G1 walks at a speed of about 4.4 mph which is a bit disappointing considering unit tre's previous humanoid robot the H1 set a World Record for fastest humanoid robot with a speed of about 7.4 mph the G1 can fold to Less Than 3 ft in size presumably for storage and shipping unit tree says the G1 will be available starting
at $116,000 that's lower than elon's less than half the price of a car estimate he gave on X for Optimus and significantly cheaper than Boston Dynamics robot dog spot which starts at about $75,000 we don't have exact pricing for Atlas figure 2 or digit robots yet all of which are in various stages of ramping up for mass production you need Tre has made a name for itself as a more affordable alternative to its robotics competitors offering lower PRC robots first on four legs and now on two with the humanoid robotics race heating up it'll be
interesting to see if the smaller size and more affordable price tag give unit tre's G1 an edge over the competition what do you think of humanoid robots handy helpers or total nightmares let us know down in the comments as always thanks so much for watching I'm your host Jesse oral see you next time with the fam yeah
