These Unitree robots are basically the single new and futuristic thing being developed right now. It's so unbelievable, these videos look like CGI because I'm so used to seeing robots in movies that move like this.

The best part is the pricing for the lowest tier of these things (the humanoid ones) is in the thousands of dollars range (https://shop.unitree.com/products/unitree-r1). Okay the dog models are $100,000 but still. If the US had developed this technology these would be built on a contract basis and the lowest-tier one would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and be exclusively for use by specific departments in rich prestigious universities. The more expensive model would be millions and used by the military.

Instead it's just a commodity. LOL.

It just highlights the practicality of Chinese R&D. American capitalists are always talking about "red tape" but they're so money-hungry and used to pulling off crazy grifts. It isn't red tape that's leaving them in the dust, it's their unquenchable greed and desire to print money with some monopoly product. There are so many products like this in the US that aren't even remarkable tools but you still have to contact the sales person or sign a contract or something. They won't even tell you the price up front. And this is in the "richest country on earth" and they won't even just let people buy expensive products with a credit card. And Chinese companies are selling in-development cutting edge technology at mass market commodity prices.

It's literally frustrating how lethargic and incompetent American capitalists are. They're so arrogant. At least the US automobile industry is dying (again) as we speak. Get fucked assholes!
