BARGAIN BOT OR FUTURE OVERLORD? UNITREE’S $6K HUMANOID DROPS Unitree’s new R1 humanoid costs less than a high-end gaming PC and can cartwheel into your nightmares. It’s 4’2”, weighs 55 lbs, and has 26 joints - enough to throw punches, do handstands, and possibly judge your posture. It runs on a multimodal LLM and is fully customizable, because of course your robot needs a fashion sense too. For $6K, you get a gymnastic AI gremlin with potential. What could possibly go wrong?
