Unitree's Wang Xingxing: GPT-6 Astra handles robot painting and Go with no specialized training
Afinetheorem · x · 2026-10-24
- Unitree founder Wang Xingxing says the newly released GPT-6 Astra has sent shock waves through embodied AI; his team has run several robot experiments with the model.
- Painting: no specialized programs were written — prompts alone got the robot to paint, and it independently handled related tasks like changing paints and cleaning its brush.
- Go: the robot could not only recognize the board but continue playing (thread is excerpted).
- The attached image shows Unitree's newly unveiled H2-X humanoid at the WPAI 2026 conference.
