Test of violence 2, on the G1 humanoid



Souce


In a recent video from Unitree Robotics it is attracting attention around the world and in a previous post we showed some scenes and the video, but now they went further in the tests and presented their G1 humanoid robot facing not only kicks, but also violent pulling and pushing and survived all impacts thanks to a new system called anti-gravity mode.


The scene looks like something out of a military training, Engineers push, kick and even pull the robots by the neck with a rope, but instead of falling and Staying on the ground like older models, G1 tests impacts, adjusts its center of gravity and rises almost instantly, exhibiting movements reminiscent of the reaction of a human athlete.


This resilience is only possible because the G1 combines depth cameras, 3D Lidar, and multiple joint motors working in real time. When a blow hits it, the robot calculates how to reposition its body before falling, absorbing the impact in its knees and projecting itself back to an upright position.




In extreme tests he was thrown several meters forward, but he always managed to recover on his own. The objective of this controlled brutality is to demonstrate that the G1 is not just a technical sample, it was designed for real environments, factories, laboratories and hospitals, where falls and collisions can compromise efficiency.


A robot capable of resisting this type of stress reduces downtime, avoids wasted time and proves to be ready for tasks that require robustness and autonomy. In addition, researchers have implemented the Any2Track system in the G1, capable of tracking human movements and replicating them in the robot, even under intense disturbances.


This expands its versatility, making it a platform that is not only resistant, but also adaptable to different real-world scenarios. With 23 degrees of freedom, stable running, and a price of around $16,000, the G1 is positioned as one of the most accessible and advanced options in the humanoid market.


More than a show of strength, these tests show the birth of a new generation of machines that can work side by side with humans without relying on constant manual adjustments; If before we saw robots falling with a simple push, now we are faced with a humanoid that anticipates, reacts and resists, essential characteristics for a future in which machines and people will share the same work spaces.
