Elon Musk, CEO of "Tesla" and "X", expressed his admiration for the Chinese robots, specifically the "Unitree G1" model which has been widely used lately, through a tweet on the "X" platform according to a report by the tech site "Tech Node".
Musk described the robots as "stunning" due to their extensive range of motion and their ability to move with flexibility and agility, becoming part of a sophisticated musical dance performance.
The clip shows 6 "Unitree G1" robots dancing in the background of a concert by artist Wang Leehom in the Chinese city of Chengdu, accompanied by a group of human dancers.
The robots performed a series of complex dance movements that require special skills in human performers, but the six robots operated together in impressive harmony and synchronicity.
The superiority of the "Unitree G1" robots is attributed to an array of advanced sensors and multiple coordination algorithms, which together allow the robots faster response times than in earlier models and flexibility close to that of human dancers.
The report points to the rapid development that has occurred in robotics over the past few months; they debuted at the Spring Festival earlier this year resembling children who are just learning to walk, but now, after 11 months, their movements are comparable to those of professional dancers.
The "G1" robots from the Chinese company "Unitree" are among the most commonly used robots, relied upon by many researchers and scientists across various sectors.
The company also provides extensive integration and compatibility with many technologies and frameworks, enabling any entity to use them as seen fit, in addition to having a specialized app store and mechanisms for using the robot similar to mobile app stores.
The price of the robots reaches about $16,000 for the standard model without any special modifications, making them economical robots.
