Robots seen in movies are now becoming reality. Chinese company Unitree Robotics has revealed a glimpse of its new robot, Unitree GD01. It looks like it came straight out of a Hollywood movie. This giant robot is so big that any human can sit comfortably inside it, and breaking the wall is child’s play for it. The company claims that this is the first production-ready robot made for use by common people. Let’s take a closer look at the features that make the Unitree GD01 stand out.

Features of Unitree GD01
In the video shared by the company, a giant robot is seen walking out the door. It is much taller than a human. This unit also has a seat for the operator to sit. Apart from controlling it remotely, it can also be operated from the cockpit built inside it. This robot can walk on two legs like humans, and if necessary, it can use both its arms and legs to move like a large animal.
Weight approx 500 kg (including operator)
The weight of this huge robot is approximately 500 kg, which also includes the weight of the operator. It is shown in the video that this robot breaks the wall with just one hand. Along with the video, the company has also stated that this robot should be operated safely and responsibly. You can watch a film-style video of this robot below.
Unitree makes amazing robots
Chinese company Unitree is famous for making extraordinary robots. Just last month, the company announced that its H1 humanoid robot had broken all records in terms of speed. The robot is capable of running at a top speed of 10 meters per second – the highest speed ever achieved by any robot. It is also a challenge to Usain Bolt’s record, which he set during the 100 meters world record race of 10.44 meters per second.
Robots are now playing basketball too
Robots are no longer limited to working only in factories. Unitree H1 has set a new record in running, but just a few days ago, Japanese company Toyota introduced its new humanoid robot, CUE7, which is capable of playing basketball. The CUE7 is an updated version of the company’s CUE6 robot, which currently holds the world record for the longest basketball shot.
