Unitree G1 humanoid robot has speed, agility, a haunting faceless head, and it can be yours for $16,000. And, yes, it can take a punch.
The G1 is the more polished and accomplished follow-up to Unitree's H1 humanoid, a robot I saw doddering around like an old man at CES 2024. That bot walked slowly but remained upright even when Unitree developers delivered a kick to its stiff back. G1, by contrast, is more flexible and faster than its predecessor. It might even be able to run away from that kick.
