Unitree G1 has mastered more quirky skills 🤩
Unitree G1 has learned the “Anti-Gravity” mode: stability is greatly improved under any action sequence, and even if it falls, it can quickly get back up. pic.twitter.com/gDR0n0eIXl— Unitree (@UnitreeRobotics) September 22, 2025
As this video shows, the G1 is now very hard to put down even when kicked and pushed around. When it does hit the ground, it can recovery pretty quickly. The robot can also perform consecutive backflips and stick the landing. It is also capable of emulating a martial artist. The G1 EDU is powered by a NVIDIA Jetson Orin computing module. The battery life lasts up to 2 hours.
