The $14,000 price tag means that it is essentially cheaper for factories to purchase a robot than to hire a human. If Unitree can bring the price down to $5,000 or less it would truly revolutionize Chinese manufacturing. The G1's dexterity looks good, but I wonder if it can properly correct its mistakes. That probably requires more work on the software side of things.

Chinese companies need to pour money into companies like Unitree.

That is where AI comes in. With it, the robot can learn from watching and doing from trial and error. If the robot makers have only been teaching the robots through coding, they will have to give it the visual ability to learn as a matter of time.

Overcoming the ability to return to its feet from a sleeping position is an important milestone, IMO. Now the robot waiter can walk across uneven floors, take knocks from a drunk patron and go back to its job after falling from a flying kick.
