How to Train a Humanoid Robot

Humanoid robots seem to be popping up in every YouTube channel, news report, and movie. But is the humanoid revolution imminent, or is it just a party trick?

We wanted to find out, so Soon’s Dagsen Love picked up a $53,000 Unitree humanoid robot from America’s first humanoid robot store to see how easy it is for a non-technical person to program and train one. To help him on his robo-journey, he spoke with a team of geniuses building robot operating systems.

With just 12 hours, can someone train a robot to do their bidding? Or will it end up as a 77-pound paperweight?
