This only applies to Unitree and other Chinese robots running off RL
Boston Dynamics thought to make some money with stunt acting too, until they remembered how much their Atlas cost and how it can only do stunts within mocap.

What are they used for?
The International Federation of Robots released its World Robotics 2025 report. Upwards of 500,000 robots were installed worldwide last year, with China accounting for 54% of the global total. These numbers are specifically regarding industrial robots, not counting humanoids where companies like Unitree or Agibot dominate.
Domestic suplliers seem to be gaining more market shares too.
That is what I was thinking of. A few month ago, I was wondering how soon can they get this A1 ? forget the model number, when will it be able to shovel the snow?
That would be great! Apparently, there are always a few deaths from shoveling snow, due to heart conditions. So, kind of important.
Well, I do not have a heart condition, at least I do not think so. Still, we can feel it. The air is a little different, because after the storm, the barometric pressure fluctuates, and that can cause heart problems.
So I would like to get the robot to shovel the snow, and scare the neighbours too in the process. The robot is like protection. If it can shovel, then it is strong, and bulletproof, lol.
This is the case with all wireless connection smart things, from robovacs, smart fridges to even cars. Companies spend so much time installing "smart" features security is often neglected.
Programmers often trade security for ease of development and access. It's a never ending balance.
