Unitree G1 Robot Drifts a Go-Kart with Direct Perception Control
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-08-18
China's Symbiosis Robotics demonstrated a Unitree G1 humanoid driving a go-kart, exhibiting constrained whole-body loco-manipulation and hand-eye-foot coordination.
The core technology is the Direct Perception Control (DPC) model, which bypasses the traditional 'high-level goal + tracker' stack. It maps vision, language, body state, and feedback directly to joint and hand targets.
Training utilized 15,010 hours of joint-aligned data from various embodiments (human egocentric, armed robots, wheeled/bipedal humanoids), converted into time-aligned joint trajectories.
