Meet the real-life Robocop! Chinese police show off robot colleague and his mechanical mutt at the F1 Grand Prix
Chinese police have today shown off a robotic colleague and a mechanised dog at the Chinese F1 Grand Prix.
The robots, a humanoid G1 and dog-link GO2 made by Chinese robotics firm Unitree, were spotted monitoring the Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit today.
Unitree claims that the G1, which is 130cm (4ft 3in) tall, can carry up to 3kg (6.6lbs) and can move up to 2m/s (5mph).
Both robots utilise LiDAR, an advanced mapping technique that bounces light off objects, to ‘see’ the world around them.
Footage from Unitree showed both robots completing complex moves. The G1 was seen dancing around, before the video cuts to a shot of it picking up a bo staff and moving it around.
The GO2, meanwhile, was seen jumping back and forth on its legs, before getting up on its front paws and waggling its hind legs in the air.
It comes just days after chipmaking giant Nvidia unveiled Blue, a cute advanced AI-powered robot with two legs, just 3 feet tall.
