Khaberni - Researchers have successfully trained the "G1" robot developed by the Chinese company "Unitree" to tow a car weighing up to 1400 kilograms with the driver inside, according to a report published by "Digital Trends".
The robot, weighing 35 kilograms and standing 132 centimeters tall, was able to easily tow the sedan over a smooth and level surface, requiring less force than researchers at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence had anticipated.
The report indicates that the robot was able to maintain its balance and personal safety while towing the car, without any intervention from an external operator or even from the car's driver.
This demonstration of the robot maintaining its balance and stability in such a scenario is a clear proof of its physical and computational strength, as it requires an advanced level of artificial intelligence to sustain stability and balance.
It is noted that the company developed this robot to be used in various factories and warehouses that require additional physical effort from humans, as it can withstand harsh working environments.
The robot also functions efficiently in search and rescue missions where rescuers need to reach tight and dangerous places that are inaccessible by conventional methods, thanks to the robustness of its structure evidenced by videos showing the robot enduring strikes from humans.
Generally, "Unitree" is one of the leading Chinese companies in the robotics sector and its development, having recently introduced the "H2" robot which is highly flexible and capable of successfully performing ballet.
The company's robots have won several awards in global robotics competitions held in Beijing in recent months.
