That Unitree G1 [1] in the video starts at $16k, which surprised me. I’m guessing end effectors drive that price way up but it feels like we are maybe a decade away from useful household humanoid robots for the price of a cheap car, which would put it well within the means of many in the developed world.
Does anyone have any insight on how realistically far away the control and programming is from that reality? A bunch of very impressive robotic control model research has been posted on HN in the last two years but as an outsider it’s hard to evaluate just how close we are to doing away with folding clothes by general purpose humanoid robot.
