Kendama: Unitree's G1 humanoid logs about 4,000 catches per hand in an hour, according to Imacreate
Japanese company Imacreate has launched software that makes a humanoid robot replay a move successfully performed by a remote operator, Robotstart reports.
According to Imacreate, Unitree's G1 humanoid played kendama, the Japanese cup-and-ball toy, for about an hour with no human intervention. The company says it counted about 4,000 successful catches for each hand.
According to the company, it is enough for one experienced person to perform the move successfully 1 time. There is no need for tens of thousands of hours of training data or heavy cloud computing.
The robot also reportedly learned the diabolo in 1 day, from a single demonstration, in September 2026, according to the company.
Imacreate says that simply replaying the recorded move works in about 80% of cases, against about 70% for conventional methods such as imitation learning.
The public will be able to see demonstrations at the RoboNext2026 trade show, organised by the Japanese robotics industry association and the daily Nikkan Kogyo, from 2 to 4 December 2026.
