Humanoid Scott(@GoingBallistic5):Imo the Unitree R1 is an inherently unsafe humanoid, especially around children despite its petite size While I encourage exposing kids to robotics early, parents should think twice before purchasing an R1 for their kids, and if they do, they should provide strict adult supervision The aesthetic, size and cost is clearly aimed towards families But beware of the dangers
