Advances in robotics have shown that humanoid robots They are now able not only to recreate the movements of people, but also to hold conversations and complete tasks. They are designed for used in factories and warehouses because they walk autonomously, move heavy targets, in addition to automating repetitive tasks, but Soon it will no longer be news that many are already living in our homes.
Beyond that, certain models like the Unitree G1 can also do wheels and even kung fu and even fight in battlebut now a video has come out in which proves that he plays basketball like a true professional. He can move naturally, control the ball and shoot the basket with great accuracy. It must be admitted that the image is visually impressive.
This was possible thanks to the work of a team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which took the robot’s capabilities much further. To achieve this, The specialists used SkillMimic, an artificial intelligence system that reproduces human movements from videos and video capture combinations, as reported Interesting engineering.
The model analyzes human actions, refines them in virtual simulations and when they are sufficiently stable, transfers them to the robot in the real world. In fact, his movements are very reminiscent of those of a professional basketball player, which is an important step for transfer skills learned in simulated environments to real-world situations.
Here is the Unitree G1
The Unitree G1 measures 1.27 meters tall, weighs 35 kilos and is designed for research, development, education and everyday use. Their 43 engines They act like joints, allowing you to walk, run and perform complex movements with precision and stability, thanks to their 23 degrees of freedom. Among his most remarkable abilities is that of manipulate objects with their three-fingered handsdesigned for handling tools, cooking or working with delicate objects.
This android also includes a 3D LiDAR sensorA depth camera and several LEDs on its head, which help it identify and navigate its environment. You can walk to a speed of 2 meters per secondwave, turn your body and even get up from the ground in a particular way. In resistance testsit has been seen to withstand blows with a boxing glove without losing its stability and 9,000 mAh battery which gives you a two-hour battery life.
