A recent Figure AI tech showcase depicts two F.03 humanoid robots walking into a clean but lived-in environment. One robot goes straight to a coat thrown on a bed and hangs it neatly on a wall hook. At the same time, the second robot closes a laptop on the desk and places a pair of headphones back onto their stand. They keep progressing without pausing, each catching up on what the other has previously accomplished. When they approach the unmade bed, they naturally split off, one on each side, and begin manipulating the sheets and comforter together until everything is level and smooth.

Climbing into the open metal cage of Unitree’s GD01 feels like slipping behind the wheel of something from another era of imagination. Founder Wang Xingxing does exactly that in the one-minute demonstration video released today. He buckles into the central seat, grips the controls, and sets the machine in motion across an indoor workshop floor. The robot responds with smooth, deliberate steps on its beastly red legs.
