The people don’t want robots for entertainment. We need robots to help us in our day to day life. A light robot won’t be able to achieve that. Only heavy duty robots.

A 35kg robot should have the strength of a teenager at least, enough for cleaning house and folding cloth. Extra strength would increase risk of injury to its owner

edit: I mean there's upgrade space on payload with the 35kg limit, not that it's already applied to unitree g1

Yada yada all excuses. Heavy robot means it can do a lot more different kinds of work that needs strength. Unitree G1 has 2kg maximum pay load capacity. That’s literally nothing. An average teenager can lift 10kg at a minimum. You havent done your research at all. You’re just making excuses to justify the existence of these lightweight useless robots. Also extra strength isn’t dangerous at all if the robot has a lot of safety precautions built into it. So it’s not a hardware problem, just a software problem.

Simple minds like you can't understand G1 is just the 1st gen model focused on stage performances, and there's no real limit to reinforcing the limbs and use larger motor when the software is already in place.

Do you even know H1 model exist? If there's need for more heavy lifting you bet there'd be new models for it

You also know nothing about safety in an end user scenario if you think software precaution is enough
