Unitree Unveils Fearsome Bodyguard Robot
Personal security may start to look a little different. The post Unitree Unveils Fearsome Bodyguard Robot appeared first on Futurism .
China’s Unitree has unveiled a new humanoid robot, the H2-X “Kung Fu Legend: Guardian,” marketed as a fearsome bodyguard robot. The robot, built on Unitree’s existing H2 model, showcased a series of acrobatic feats in a promotional video, including front-flips, somersaults, and high-speed kicks. However, concerns arise regarding the robot's capability for violent actions beyond mere demonstrations.
In the video, the robot is seen lifting a vehicle to save a dummy and punching through vehicle doors, raising doubts about its potential for harm in real-world situations. The robot is designed to operate for approximately eight hours on a single charge. The unclear intentions for this robot's use and its actual control mechanism leave questions about when and how it would intervene in threatening situations.
The video's most eyebrow-raising stunt shows the robot sending a child dummy flying upon being launched into action, highlighting potential dangers associated with such a powerful robot. Unitree has yet to disclose the price of the robot or its expected release date.
