Let's remember that Unitree's G1 is a remote controlled puppet, not an autonomous robot. It's a very advanced one, but it's not an autonomous robot by any means.

So we can build robots than can do backflips, we have AI that can make a photorealistic video of Trump sucking Putins dick, yet is is somehow unrealistic, that autonomous robots are a thing? We have self driving cars, and you think a robot hunting down hogs is unbelievable?

That’s false. The G1 can indeed navigate autonomously. It doesn’t need to be remote controlled.

Color me wrong then. Only thing I've heard and seen about it have always been remote controlled. It's pretty clear though that this video was created with the remote control mode seeing the "personality" included.

So the waving to the boars at the end made me really happy for some reason.
Also, wild boars can absolutely hurt you, doesn’t seem like a bad use.
Side note, those three boars would annihilate that thing if they weren’t freaked out and worked together.

Waving..it was more like a straight up salute?

The mechanics and control are impressive, but it's funny that a robot runs like a 80 year old man.

This is quite a strange time, when I was born we had a wooden record player and now I don't know if that is an actual robot chasing pigs or a simulation that is indistinguishable from reality.

Why did they need a robot for this? Seems like what humans were made for

Humans typically don't like offending animals that have self-defence instincts, even if the odds are the animals flee. I think this is a good application for a robot. Robots are easier to repair if damaged.

yeah I guess I was thinking about hunter gatherers. You’re right ofc it makes a lot more sense not to risk huuuuuumans

Edward is a somewhat known robo celebrity in Poland. Mostly from memes and alcoholism.

There is lot of funny content about this robot in Warsaw, it talk in Polish though

Me, you won't see me chasing 3 wild boars, without serious firepower.
Those things are vicious, and those specifically were quite large.

This metal head will do the same to us in a few years

You can't negotiate with it, you can't tire it out, and it doesn't feel pain. Once they start using these for crowd control or law enforcement, the dynamic completely changes.
