Three teams announced humanoid soccer on Unitree G1 in a single day. The latest shows sustained dribbling — fast dribbles, tight turns, direction changes — with fully onboard LiDAR ball perception (no mocap), a sim policy trained with human-motion prior transferring zero-shot to hardware, and a slack safety tether. Paper coming soon.
