New video from Unitree shows their nearly 6-foot humanoid robot throwing punches, kicks, knees and literally breaking pieces off of the company's much smaller G1 humanoid.

Unitree first revealed it had been training its comparatively short G1 robots to fight earlier this year, but seeing the same kickboxing moves and similar agility in a full-size humanoid is jarring.

The robotics company has been making a name for itself through viral videos and tests of agility, as well as taking home the most gold medals of any company at China's first World Humanoid Robot Games earlier this year.

In addition to showing its H2 in fight mode, hidden details in recent demos also shine a light on Unitree's teleoperation system, how new hands are unlocking new capabilities, and what may be coming next in the rapidly evolving world of humanoid robots.
