On screen, a white humanoid robot is demonstrating kung fu moves; during an attempt at a side flip, it loses balance and falls sideways to the ground, with one mechanical lower leg detaching from its joint and landing on a nearby black mat.
The robot involved in the incident is the H2-X humanoid robot, released by Unitree Technologies on October 21, officially named the "H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian." As of the time of this report, Unitree Technologies has not issued any statement regarding the incident.
