Do you remember the G1 Unitere robot, this ultra-agile Chinese robot, capable of holding on its legs perfectly and keeping your balance, and getting up, even when you send it a big right in the chest? Well, it has become the center of attention for a few hours in a video quickly gone viral.
The scene took place in the premises of Rek, a San Francisco start-up who wants to use the G1 to make them fighters piloted from a distance by humans via VR headsets. During a test by the start-up, one of these robots began to Fraetically fucked, waving his arms and legs, then collapsed on himself. According to the testers, it was a bug, which does not take anything away from the comic aspect of this little moment of robotic panic, captured by what seems to be a surveillance camera.

The G1 did not appreciate the exercise
The video was shared on X by CIX LIV, VR developer based on Rek and self -proclaimed self -proclaimed specialist in robotic fight. We hear him howl in the background, amazed : « What have you screwed up, brothel ? The robot, suspended from a crane, frantically agitated to the point of bringing down the entire structure on the ground, under the eyes of a tester who takes the head in his hands (see below).
please make this go viral so I can pay for repairs

The origin of the problem? A human error, according to Liv itself. “” The technical reason is that we launched a complete movement command when his feet did not touch the soil. Never do that ». The developers therefore ordered the robot to simulate a complete sequence of body movements when it was still suspended by a harness, without contact on the ground. Deprived of benchmarks, The G1 has thus lost the pedals a little.
Despite his fall, Liv explained that The robot still worked and it was still walking. At 16,000 dollars per machine (according to the manufacturer’s site) at the same time, There is an interest ! Above all, let us remember, these units are trained to be sent later to rings To hit themselves with each other. We can assume that Rek certainly expects them that they are a minimum solid to cash the blows.
- A humanoid robot has panicked in full test at Rek, a San Francisco start-up which is preparing fights of robots piloted in VR.
- The incident, due to a human error, caused the collapse of the suspension structure, all filmed in a viral sequence.
- Despite the fall, the machine remains functional; It is the minimum, given its price and the muscular use that awaits it.
