The Unitree G1 snagged bragging rights as the world’s first side-flipping humanoid with a slick demo that gives Atlas a run for its money. This 4’2”, 77lb bot nailed a standing side flip—think cartwheel energy with a tidy two-foot landing, using its 23 movable joints, an 8-core CPU, 3D LiDAR and an Intel RealSense D435 depth camera to scope its world and stick that mid-air magic.

Put simply, the mission involved deploying two communications satellites—Anik D2 and Syncom IV-1 (Leasat 1)—and then retrieve two others that had been stranded in low Earth orbit due to earlier deployment failures: Palapa B2 and Westar VI.
LTS Design unveils his 3D-printed multi dimension roller coaster, and so far, this is the most impressive one we’ve seen yet. It may look complex, and right fully so, as the process begins with designing the coaster, often in software like SOLIDWORKS, Fusion 360, or NoLimits 2 (a roller coaster simulator), before slicing the digital model into printable parts using programs like Cura.
