This is way more of what I thought robotics companies should be working on over their dumb 4 legged dog like robots.
Wheels were invented for a reason and we are awfully good at moving things around on them at speed. Combining multiple attributes into a single form will ultimately prove to be the winning formula.
Just like in a year or two you will start to see more appendages than just two arms on humanoids.

Impressive … and scary. Why is it that this company is moving so fast when others like Boston Dynamics don’t seem to have made much progress?
You are assuming this thing is real and not just a web page.
Unitree is a huge well known company. You think they'd fake this?
The demo images look AI generated, so I can understand the impression that this is vaporware. The demo videos look very real to me however.
they're a chinese company and this is a VC funded western company; so that's half the answer.
The other half is yes, of course, any company will fake it till they make it.
But Unitree is definitely making robots.
What's the price?
