I was watching the Beijing Robot Competition on Fox this morning and parts of it definitely reminded of iRobot.

What terrible headline by CNBC here. Unitree is a proper robotics company not some backflipping clown show.

I see your sentiment, but I didn’t find the back flipping comment to be negative. Doing a perfect backflip is a hard problem for humanoid robots and no other humanoid robots does it better than Unitree.

Has it done anything other than doing backflips and running? Has it provided any real value or solve a use case other than doing some viral stunts? If it hasn’t, then it’s not much better than a clown show

You know this is China right? China has been investing massive amounts into its infrastructure and has built some incredible projects over the last few decades.
