Unitree’s G1 humanoid robot is now trying its hand at plastering, a job that has stubbornly remained in human hands for centuries. This proof-of-concept shows the robot handling the grunt work of broad-area application via teleoperation, which means a human is still pulling the strings from a safe, dust-free distance. Your local drywall contractor can probably relax for now; skilled humans are still needed to handle the finishing details and make it all look presentable.
