Unitree is currently preparing a version of the G1 adapted for mass
production in order to mass-produce the humanoid robot. It is intended
to be used for simple assembly work or in the household, as it cannot
perform heavy work. The robot can only lift weights of up to 2 kg.
--------------------

It is quite small - 4ft. 4in tall, but looks very human-like.
Impressive 2 min. video includes their robot dog.
