Scientists showcased a humanoid robot, Unitree G1, performing a side flip for the first time.The silver-grey G1 crouches slightly, launches up, and rotates sideways through the air, stabilizing with ease upon landing.The robot was taught the side flip using reinforcement learning training and upgraded artificial intelligence algorithms.Unitree envisions robots like G1 being used for various tasks including assisting with household chores and hazardous rescue missions.
