An engineer kicked the robot and made some violent moves against the humanoid to test its ability to respond to multiple kinds of external disturbances.
An engineer recently wrapped a chain around a humanoid robot ’s neck and violently yanked it. The video of the incident was shared on multiple social media platforms. The clip shows a humanoid robot struggling to maintain balance as the engineer pulls the machine forcefully.
The footage demonstrates how a humanoid robot can stay upright even in challenging conditions. The robot featured in the video is the Unitree G1 humanoid.The incident was originally meant to test the robot’s ability to respond to multiple external disturbances.A test of humanoid motion trackerZhikai Zhang, a Tsinghua University PhD student, had made the video. Zhang was testing the Any2Track system, a humanoid motion tracker. The system tracks any motions under any disturbances.The two-stage RL framework reformulates dynamics adaptability as an additional capability on top of basic action execution and consists of two key components: AnyTracker and AnyAdapter.The researcher revealed that they deployed Any2Track on Unitree G1 hardware and achieved a successful sim2real transfer in a zero-shot manner. Any2Track performs exceptionally well in tracking various motions under multiple real-world disturbances.Engineer kicks humanoid robot’s torsoThe engineer is also seen kicking the humanoid robot’s torso violently.The framework’s AnyTracker is a general motion tracker with careful designs to track various motions within a single policy. AnyAdapter is a history-informed adaptation module that endows the tracker with online dynamics adaptability to overcome the sim2real gap and multiple real-world disturbances.Zhang developed the system in collaboration with Chinese robotics company Galbot, the same firm that recently opened a robot-run bodega.Engineers have expressed that the foundational humanoid motion tracker is expected to be able to track diverse, highly dynamic, and contact-rich motions. More importantly, for general practical use, it must operate stably in real-world scenarios against various dynamic disturbances, including terrains, external forces, and physical property changes.🚀 Looking forward to a foundtional humanoid motion tracker?📢Meet Any2Track — Track Any Motions under Any Disturbances!💡Any2Track shows SOTA performance on diverse motions under multiple disturbances.Project: https://t.co/9obGq0e2qNCodebase: https://t.co/NVxMPH7IHT pic.twitter.com/mQBiSrYBRk— Zhikai Zhang September 19, 2025G1 humanoid robot shows remarkable capability.Unitree G1 humanoid robot can maintain its balance against external disturbances.In January, Unitree showcased its G1 robot’s smooth walking and running system, demonstrating agility, stability, and precise control on inclines and uneven terrain.Unitree’s G1 humanoid previously also performed amazing kung-fu movements with amazing balance, albeit it almost trips once. The G1 exhibits remarkable coordination and flexibility with 23 degrees of freedom and enhanced stability.Unitree claims that the G1 is made to handle difficult, filthy, and repetitive jobs in a variety of settings, including at homes, factories, and hospitals. It embodies Unitree’s concept of humanoid robots serving as useful work and life companions.Possessing a stable gait and highly flexible movement capabilities, the robot can walk and run autonomously in complex terrains and environments.Equipped with 3D LiDAR + depth camera, the robot offers real-time acquisition of high-precision spatial data to achieve panoramic scanning.
