Unitree’s $650,000 robot is a masterclass in engineering spectacle, yet it feels more like an expensive trophy for the elite than a practical tool for disaster relief. It represents a fascinating but niche intersection where science fiction meets high-capital indulgence.

China’s Robot Company Unitree Launches a $650,000 Personal GundamAdded:
In China, [music] you can now buy a real Gundam for the price of two Lamborghinis. This is the GD01 from Unitree Robotics. You can buy it for $650,000.
[music] A 2.8 m 500 kg machine you climb inside and pilot. Walks on two legs, switches to four when terrain gets rough. The CEO strapped in, walked it forward, and smashed through a brick wall. It's fun, but their official disclaimer says, "Please use the robot in a friendly and safe manner." Because this isn't a weapon. Unitree built it for theme parks, film productions, and disaster response. [music] Just a very large robot you can pilot. If you had $650,000, would [music] you buy this robot or two Lamborghinis? Follow so you don't miss what China builds next.
