AUTOMATE 2026 robotics

AUTOMATE 2026 robotics UNITREE SHOWED WHY HUMANOIDS MATTER AT AUTOMATE 2026 SWIPE TO FIND OUT MORE robotics At Automate 2026, Unitree was showing two very different machines: the G1 humanoid robot and the A2 quadruped robot. That matters because Unitree is not only trying to build robots that look impressive. It is building machines that can walk, balance, carry, sense and become platforms for developers. robotics The G1 is Unitree's compact humanoid. It is around 130 cm tall and about 35 kg, making it much smaller than many industrial humanoids. That size matters because it makes the robot easier to transport, test, develop on and use as a hardware platform. robotics Unitree is pushing the speed of humanoid hardware. Its G1 humanoid is built with 23 to 43 joint motors, imitation and reinforcement learning, and optional force-control dexterous hands for precise object manipulation. That makes Unitree one of the companies showing how quickly humanoid capability is being compressed into smaller, more accessible machines. robotics Unitree's A2 quadruped shows the other side of the company. It is built for industrial mobility, with Unitree saying it can walk for up to 5 hours / 20 km unloaded, or around 3 hours / 12.5 km fully loaded. That makes it more relevant to inspection, logistics, field work and rugged environments.
