Unitree Society has unveiled the GD01, a piloted, transformable 'mecha' that carries a human in a dedicated cockpit and switches between bipedal and four-legged modes depending on the terrain.
Footage released by the company showed founder Wang Xingxing climbing into the robot’s cockpit before the machine walked, transformed and performed movement demonstrations.
The piloted robot suit can switch from a humanoid form into a quadrupedal walking mode. Unitree said the GD01 is its first manned transformable robot platform.
