Wow progress is moving fast .unitree can now pull off a banana kick This has been demonstrated by َ. E. Zhang’s team. From powefull blasts to curling shots, the AI is learning a variety of shooting techniques by itself. They have successfully I clocked and consistently replicated a range... of techniques on real hardware including top-corner and bottom-corner shots, curved trajectories, and deflected shots. The robots have evolved from merely executing powerful strikes to actively controlling the ball’s trajectory, making progress every week!show more

@h Wait until it learns to dive for a penalty.

@h It's impressive how it's evolving.

@h Imagine where this is in 12 months. The pace is unreal.

@h Please note someone use a remote controller control that robot. The robot wasn’t driving by AI

@h With the person standing next to it, yes but it still can’t perform precise movements.

@h Sure, absolutely

@h Wow, footballer robot

@Rent0j @h Lamine Yamal should start to worry.

@h A banana kick is visually impressive, but the useful signal is whole-body coordination under contact and balance. I care more about transfer across tasks than mastering one athletic motion.

@h Booster T2 is quite a bit stronger. ;)
