中国机器人公司宇树科技发布巨型机甲GD01：可载人、能破墙，售价未公布

以生产可爱且价格亲民的机器人闻名的中国宇树科技（Unitree），近日发布了一款颠覆性新品——巨型可载人机甲GD01。该机器人能行走、爬行、变形并撞击墙壁，是其首次涉足大型机甲领域。

在震撼的摇滚吉他配乐下，官方宣传视频展示了公司创始人兼CEO王兴兴与GD01牵手后，爬入其巨大的开放式座舱。宇树在社交平台特别标注声明：“请大家务必以友好安全的方式使用本机器人。”视频中，GD01在无人驾驶状态下，仍能撞碎一堵煤渣砖墙，随后更展示出向后弯腰、手脚并用的螃蟹式爬行姿态（此时驾驶员需仰面躺卧）。

成立于杭州的宇树科技，已是全球最畅销的四足及人形机器人制造商。其G1人形机器人常出现在社交媒体上表演舞蹈、杂技和功夫，售价仅约1.5万美元，远低于美国同类产品数十万美元的价格。专家指出，该公司对中国庞大复杂硬件供应链的掌控，是其实现低成本制造的关键。

作为中国科技界新星，宇树科技预计今年上市。数月前，其机器人曾在电视春晚中表演跑酷和同步武术，这得益于多台机器人通过无线通信实现动作严丝合缝。目前，宇树机器人主要依赖遥控或执行简单自主动作，在复杂真实环境中的精细操作能力有限，AI性能尚待提升。而GD01从设计上看，更侧重破坏力与博取眼球。

有评论戏称，当AI公司让员工成为百万富翁或亿万富翁时，炫耀财富的最佳方式已不再是法拉利或百达翡丽，而是直接驾驶GD01撞进办公室——当然，前提是安全合规。

中文翻译：

宇树科技是一家以生产可爱、相对亲民的机器人而闻名的中国公司，这些机器人会跳舞、滑步等。昨晚，该公司发布了其最新产品，这算是一个突破：一款名为GD01的巨大、能行走、爬行、变形且能破墙的“机甲”。
GD01的宣传视频以雷鸣般的摇滚吉他曲为背景音乐，画面中公司创始人兼CEO王兴兴与机器人手拉手，随后爬进它那宽敞的露天腹部。宇树在社交媒体帖子中附加了一条免责声明：“请大家务必以友好和安全的方式使用机器人。”
视频切换到GD01没有人类驾驶员的画面，但它仍然成功砸碎了一面煤渣砖墙。随后，宇树展示了这款红色肢体的机器人向后弯曲身体，并用四肢爬行的姿态。（在这种螃蟹步姿势下，人类操作员会仰面躺着，看着天花板或天空，但说实话，到那时谁还在乎呢。）
宇树科技是一家总部位于中国杭州、快速崛起的机器人初创公司。该公司已经生产出世界上最受欢迎的四足机器人和人形机器人。其G1人形机器人经常出现在社交媒体片段中，跳舞、表演杂技和打功夫。这是该公司首次涉足大型机甲领域。（该公司向《连线》杂志证实，GD01是其正在销售的实体产品，而非精心策划的恶作剧。）
宇树的成功部分归功于其机器人价格非常低廉。最便宜的G1型号售价约1.5万美元，而美国制造的人形机器人价格可能高出十倍。专家表示，该公司对中国庞大而复杂的硬件供应链的掌控，帮助其在低成本制造机器人方面获得了优势。宇树的硬件也便于研究人员配置和部署AI程序。
宇树预计今年上市，是中国科技公司中的一颗新星。几个月前，其机器人在一场电视春节活动中表演了跑酷和同步武术。这些表演包含了一项新技能：让多个机器人通过无线通信紧密同步动作。
宇树的机器人要么通过远程操控，要么被允许自主执行相对简单的动作。其人形机器人并非特别灵巧，并且缺乏在混乱真实环境中执行复杂任务所需的AI。但GD01似乎更倾向于破坏——以及为宇树博取关注——而非其他用途。
随着AI公司有望让员工成为百万富翁和亿万富翁，我想不出比这更好的方式来炫耀你的AI财富了。忘掉法拉利或百达翡丽吧，乘坐GD01出现来惊艳你的同事。或许，在破墙冲进办公室之后。

Unitree is a Chinese company known for making adorable, relatively affordable robots that dance and shuffle and such. Last night, it revealed its latest creation, which is something of a departure: a giant, walking, crawling, transforming, wall-smashing “mecha” called the GD01.
An introductory video for the GD01—set to a thundering rock guitar soundtrack—shows the company’s founder and CEO, Xingxing Wang, holding hands with the robot before climbing into its prodigious, open-air belly. A disclaimer added to Unitree’s social media post reads: “Please everyone be sure to use the robot in a Friendly and Safe manner.”
The video cuts to a view in which GD01 has no human pilot on board, but still manages to smash a wall of cinder blocks. Unitree later shows the red-limbed robot contorting itself by bending backwards and crawling on its hands and legs. (In this crabwalk position, the human operator would be lying on their back, looking at the ceiling or sky, but honestly who cares at that point.)
Unitree is a fast-rising robotics startup based in Hangzhou, China. The company already makes the world’s most popular four-legged and humanoid robots. Its G1 humanoids are routinely found in social media clips dancing, performing acrobatics, and doing kung-fu. This is its first foray into giant mechas. (The company confirmed to WIRED that the GD01 was an actual product it is selling, not an elaborate prank.)
Unitree has been successful in part because its robots are remarkably inexpensive. The cheapest G1 model costs around $15,000, while US-made humanoid robots can cost 10 times more. Experts say the company’s mastery of China’s vast and complex hardware supply chain has helped it gain an edge in building robots cheaply. Unitree’s hardware is also easy for researchers to configure and deploy AI programs on.
Expected to go public this year, Unitree is a rising star among Chinese tech companies. Its robots performed parkour and synchronized martial arts at a televised spring festival event a few months ago. These routines involved a new trick: having numerous robots communicate with each other wirelessly in order to tightly synchronize their movements.
Unitree’s robots are either remotely controlled or allowed to perform relatively simple actions autonomously. Its humanoids are not particularly dextrous, and they lack the AI needed to perform complex tasks in messy real-world environments. But the GD01 looks more geared towards destruction—and garnering publicity for Unitree—than anything else.
With AI companies poised to make millionaires and billionaires out of their employees, I can think of no better way to flaunt your AI-fueled wealth. Forget a Ferrari or a Patek Philippe, and impress your coworkers by turning up in a GD01. After smashing your way into the office, perhaps.
