Marc Raibert,wang ping eroticism founder of Boston Dynamics, told the Chinese media outlet Yicai Global on Monday that his intelligent robotics research institute had purchased robots from the Chinese startup Unitree Robotics to evaluate their performance. Boston Dynamics has developed several advanced robots, including the humanoid Atlas and Spot, a quadruped robot. When asked about the differences between Boston Dynamics’ robots and those of Unitree Robotics, Raibert said, “There are many differences, and competition is inevitable. It will be fascinating to see how they evolve.” On Jan. 28, Unitree Robotics’ humanoid robots were center of attention in China during the Lunar New Year’s Eve TV Gala, where they wore floral cotton jackets, held red handkerchiefs, and performed a traditional dance alongside professional dancers.
