Unitree Robotics Co on Thursday unveiled its full-body teleoperation platform through a video clip posted on its social media account.

In the video, under human remote control, Unitree's G1 humanoid robot is shown performing wireless household tasks such as washing dishes, operating a robotic vacuum, folding clothes, and carrying a cup of water. In addition, G1 humanoid robot can also engage multiple sport movements such as football, martial arts and boxing. 

The release came after the company's new patent for a robot joint control system based on motion capture equipment - one that maps human movements onto robots to enable seamless human-robot collaboration and interaction, according to Qichacha, an online platform offering company information. 

The system enables efficient and accurate mapping of human movements to the robot, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness and allowing natural expression of the operator's intentions for smooth human-robot collaboration and intuitive interaction.

Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of Unitree Robotics, said that his company has been continuously advancing the goal of making robots "truly work." 

"We have always believed that our objective is for robots to be widely applied in various scenarios such as factories and households in the future. Work is undoubtedly a rigid demand," he said at a sub-forum of the Hongqiao International Economic Forum at the ongoing eighth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai on Wednesday.
