A Unitree R1 Humanoid for $6k?!?!?! Yes Please!

[Alan Timm]

Just like with their previous offerings, I'm not quite sure how they get they get the math to math up, but the video is impressive.  They must have found cost savings on the bldc gear motor units, then plastic shells vs aluminium?  

It's a very new announcement, so nothing on their website yet.

I keep throwing my credit card and the screen but nothing happens.  :-(
