This incident between a Unitree G1 and a child in what looks like a demo presentation in a mall seems like it could have ended much worse than what it looks like. The robot has obviously no idea what just happened. Only a shoe got removed. The child does not seem hurt. I don’t know how much these machines weight, but they don’t seem light. Luckily, the robothing turned right and didn’t trip over the kid. Everyone seems amused. This is fine.

Don’t what now?
A humanoid robot named Unitree G1 is apparently being mass produced. And the manufacturer thought it was appropriate to add this warning in its video presentation:
*We kindly request that all users refrain from making any dangerous modifications or using the robot in a hazardous manner.
It’s probably the closest thing to a universal robotic device to interact with our anthropocentric world and you expect us not to do dangerous things with it?
I bet that’s probably the first thing we’ll do with it.
