Robotics is transitioning from factory floors to our everyday lives, particularly through humanoid robots. This session features a live demonstration of our Unitree G1 android, exploring how advances in AI, increasing data availability, and edge computing hardware are transforming science fiction into reality.
The session begins with an overview of robotics and its market potential. Next, robot training is examined, demonstrating how integrated hardware and software bridge the gap between simulation and real-world deployment. Finally, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are explored for enabling meaningful human-robot interaction and future applications.
