Humanoid robot demonstrates advanced self-recovery capabilities

bgr.com

A new video shows a humanoid robot, the Unitree G1, using a new AI framework called Humanoid Standing-up Control (HoST) to stand up from various positions, even when disrupted by human interference. This marks a significant advancement in robot resilience. Developed by researchers from China and Hong Kong, HoST allows robots to rise smoothly from challenging surfaces and positions, unlike earlier models that struggled after falls. The technology uses reinforcement learning to improve the robot's ability to recover. This development highlights the rapid progress in AI and robotics, raising concerns about future implications as nations explore advanced robotic technologies, including military applications.
