Push a human off balance and they react instantly. Now try building that into a robot...
During a recent visit to Hangzhou, hosted by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, we saw a live balance test from @UnitreeRobotics G1 robot.
This is where control, perception, and hardware have to move as one in real time.

Disgusting conditions tonight! The training plan only gives me one rest day this week and it's been raining all week!! Still it's a privilege I can get out there and run... Felt good afterwards getting into a hot shower! @LondonMarathon @TheBHF

. @grovelndparkrun was cancelled today due to icy conditions (definitely the correct decision). But I did it anyway (running gingerly in places and on the grass where possible)... Good to get the first '@parkrun' of the year done (second in total) as I train for London 2026.

Christmas in the highlander way at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Rabka-Zdrรณj, Poland. A special mass drew crowds of worshippers, enchanted by the highland band Maลa Armia Janosika. Around 5,000 people attended this mass.
Merry Christmas!๐

Cracking #parkrun today at @oakhillparkrun. Great crowd & pleased to get a new PB!
22.30 for the 5k / 22.45 official gun time (that happens when you start mid-way back)!
Thank you to the all @parkrunUK volunteers and the chap in front of me (Nicol) for pushing me to the end!
