Have you exercised today? How about training together with a robot? Please use robots in a friendly and safe manner, and keep a safe distance.
In this episode, we explore the engineering behind Unitree's newest boxing robot demo, the history of humanoid robots, and why robotics might create a new F1-esque sport in the combat sports realm.
Unitree welcomes users and developers worldwide to co-develop and share together. Exceptional developers will receive rewards. 转写文稿
Unitree 1.8m H2 Humanoid Robot, A Combat Sparring Test. H2's knee strike lifts G1 off the ground. This is to validate the overall reliability of the robot, please do not attempt to replicate this. Please use robots in a friendly manner.

Paired with custom control software, Össur's powered knee prosthesis helped study participants sit, stand and walk more easily.
The human determinants of research are key for making progress, as championed by amputee Massimo Munzi who is helping improve prosthetics, as well as EPFL's neuroprosthetic researcher Jonathan Muheim.
In a small clinical study, users of this prosthesis navigated more easily and said the limb felt more like part of their body.
