The age of robotic self-replication is apparently upon us, as Unitree’s G1 humanoids are now building their brethren in the factory. This isn’t just a sterile lab demo; it’s a real production deployment powered by the company’s UnifoLM-X1-0 embodied AI model. With a shockingly low starting price of around $16,000, the new robotic workforce is also surprisingly affordable, signaling a major shift in industrial automation.
