A new video demonstrates how robots can “rise from the dead” from almost any position, even when humans are trying to stop them.
Humanoid robots are getting smarter, stronger, and even more lifelike. And now, thanks to a breakthrough in AI learning, they’ve also mastered something that might just send a shiver down your spine—standing up after a fall, no matter the position or terrain. It’s almost like watching a robot rise from the dead.
Sure, it might not seem like that big of a deal to most people. However, if you’re one of the many who believe AI could one day destroy humanity, then this is probably pretty bad news to hear.
A team of researchers from China and Hong Kong has developed a new artificial intelligence framework called Humanoid Standing-up Control (HoST) that allows bipedal robots to get back on their feet quickly, efficiently, and—almost unnervingly—as smoothly as humans.
A new video demonstrates the Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot using the HoST framework to stand up from seemingly impossible positions. Whether lying flat on its back, slumped against a wall, reclining in a chair, or sprawled out on a sofa, the robot methodically adjusts itself before rising with unsettling precision.
