Unitree G1 tried to “enter itself,” but instead repeatedly slammed into a mirror and collapsed under the shards

Whether it was a bug or digital existentialism, the result was the same: robot slapstick. The machine uprising is postponed. For now, AI still can’t negotiate even with its own reflection.

🤖 China’s new robo-dog costs as much as an iPhone

A new Chinese robot dog called Rover X1 is drawing attention for offering advanced home features at an affordable price, just 7,499 yuan (about $1,000).

🔹 Versatile companion: The Rover X1 can carry items, light up dark spaces, babysit children, and patrol homes.
🔹 Modular design: Users can attach accessories such as cameras, flashlights, or even add wheels to its legs for faster movement.
🔹 Smart home role: It’s positioned as a multi-purpose household assistant, combining security, utility, and entertainment in one device.

At the price of an iPhone, it’s China’s boldest step yet toward making robotic helpers mainstream.
