H1, The World's Strongest Humanoid Robot, Looks Like A Kebelet Person

Claimed to be the'strongest common humanoid robot in the world', after being exposed in a new video on social media, many observers joked that this robot that looks more like it is 'trying hard to find the nearest public toilet'.

The H1 robot was built by Chinese company Unitree Robotics, which is one of the main developers of four-legged robots.

Last month, the company shared another picture of their creation: maybe 'future pets' in the form of a creepy dog robot, can speak, and do handstand.

Called Go2, he can also climb stairs, play catch-throw, remove music from built-in speakers, even take photos on orders, which are sent directly to the owner's smartphone.

H1, compared to that, is a humanoid robot standing about 180 cm and weighing 47 kg. The speed of the road is 5.5 km/hour, which is almost the same as the average human being.

That way, surely this robot will not catch up with people like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the near future.

The robot is also equipped with a depth camera and LiDAR, a remote sensor technology that uses reflections of light to create 3D models and maps of objects around it.

However, one thing that is clearly lacking at this time is the hand. Unitree said that this hand is still under development.

The company hasn't provided an official release date for H1 yet, but they want the robot to be available for purchase in the next 3-10 years at a price of around 90,000 US dollars (Rp1.3 billion).

In his promotional video, an engineer from Unitree is seen trying to kick H1 while walking on the road, but the effort doesn't work because the robot returns to balance every time it falls.

With four legs and an animal-like efficacy, Go2 is similar to Spot, a dog-like robot from the US company, Boston Dynamics.

Unitree and Boston Dynamics are the two biggest rivals in the robotics industry, although the first one focuses more on commercially available consumer models at more affordable prices.

Spot, the most famous robot creation from Boston Dynamics, was first sold in 2020 and priced at around $75,000.
