China Just Dropped First Autonomous AI Robot (Fighting Humanoid)

China's humanoid robot race just crossed into autonomous fighting. Unitree says its G1 can now spar with humans in real time with no teleoperation or scripted choreography, while China's military is preparing humanoids for future combat and robot safety incidents are getting harder to ignore. 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: [email protected] ✉️ General Inquiries: [email protected] What You'll See: How Unitree's new UnifoLM-X2-1.0 lets its G1 humanoid fight in real time without a human operator.
