This is a short video of a robot operator taking a swift kick to the nuts by the Unitree G1 robot that’s copying his moves. In the operator’s own translated words while I pretend to tear my own head off just in case any robots are copying me:

Before that moment, g1 was my alter ego, and after that moment… (Holy cow, I can’t believe I have 1000 followers and can actually promote products! I’ll give it a try!), This video contains algorithm development experiments. The robot is dangerous, so everyone please watch out for your… well, you know.

Was this user error? 100%. If there’s a robot aping your moves, you do NOT throw any punches or perform any kicks. That’s like, Robot Operation 101. “Didn’t you fail Robot Operation 101?” Yeah, but only because I didn’t go. “What about geometry?” That I failed because shapes are confusing. “And what about colors?” Don’t even get me started.
