Scott: Unitree's H2 tipped a gutted car, not lifted it

Humanoid Scott went frame by frame on Unitree's car-lift clip and says the fulcrum sits forward of the B pillar, meaning the robot tipped a balanced shell. Unitree has not responded.

Chris Paxton says DynaRobotics' Taku handed him a drink in person

Chris Paxton stopped by DynaRobotics on the way to the airport and met Taku, saying it works and it is real. He adds that the robot gave him the drink in his hand. That is one visit and one task, not a measured success rate.

Teleop and other arguments

Scott maps the fulcrum and says Unitree's H2-X tipped a balanced shell

Humanoid Scott superimposed two frames of Unitree's car-lift clip and says the pivot point sits slightly forward of the B pillar, near the car's center of gravity, not at the rear wheels. He argues it is a gutted junker with the engine pulled, resting on a hidden fulcrum, and that the rear wheels bounce when the robot lifts too far.
