Unitree G1 humanoid takes live voice commands in single-take demo
Spoken instructions are first converted into text before being interpreted by a large AI model, which then coordinates the robot’s joint motors to carry out the requested movement.

Seen through that lens, GD01 is both a technological statement and a form of attention management — or, in more dramatic terms, a smokescreen.
Named GD01, the transformable robot can carry a human operator and switch between upright humanoid form and a four-legged mode designed for rough terrain.
About 90% of the projects fall under Zhejiang’s “415X” framework, which groups industries into four world-class sectors, 15 provincial clusters and a pipeline of emerging fields.
Unlike full humanoid systems, the robot’s lower half comes as either a fixed base or a mobile platform, while its end effectors are interchangeable.
The outlet, located at the Intime In88 Mall in Wangfujing, an area teeming with shopping malls, began operations on April 29.
The move is not Unitree’s first attempt to branch out beyond legged robotics and expand monetization channels.
Unitree said H1 ran in full autonomous mode throughout the course, including tight turns and dynamic obstacles.
Wang also said several robotic entrants are expected to complete a half marathon in under one hour at an upcoming competition in Beijing — a pace faster than most human athletes.
As of March 25, the robot had assisted inspections on more than 5,000 containers, achieving a container-number recognition accuracy rate of 92% and a foreign-object detection rate of 95%.
