You are assuming this thing is real and not just a web page.

Not that you have much reason to believe a stranger on the internet, but I have seen this in person.

Not doing acrobatics like the marketing video of course, just doing mundane things like going from point A to point B.

Unitree is a huge well known company. You think they'd fake this?

  • The demo images look AI generated, so I can understand the impression that this is vaporware. The demo videos look very real to me however.

  • they're a chinese company and this is a VC funded western company; so that's half the answer.

    The other half is yes, of course, any company will fake it till they make it.

    But Unitree is definitely making robots.

  • is using a prototype firmware or hardware platform faking it when you're showing exclusive prototype capabilities and trying to pass them off as reproducible by the production unit?

    unitree has done this consistently.
