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.
