A humanoid descending stairs
DIAPOSITIVE 1 / 1A humanoid descending stairsThe short clip shows the robot moving down a small staircase.

I find the pace of humanoid robot development astonishing. I identify the robot shown as a Unitree G2 and point to its natural-looking descent of a short set of stairs.

I say I would still like one or two for my home, and the clip ends mid-sentence. The selected stair footage does not establish how reliably the robot would handle household tasks.
