On September 8, 2026, Unitree Robotics made a groundbreaking announcement—it had achieved the world's first instance of fully autonomous humanoid robot combat, which was propelled by a real-time world model. Alongside this announcement, real combat footage was made available to the public. This remarkable breakthrough is rooted in the company's independently developed UnifoLM-X2-1.0 world-action large model. This model successfully surmounted the long-standing bottlenecks in instantaneous planning, decision-making, and the execution of dynamic interactions. With this advancement, the robots are now capable of conducting real-time prediction and planning even under highly dynamic and intensely interactive conditions. This not only verifies the fundamental feasibility of deploying humanoid robots on a large scale, driven by world models, but also paves the way for their foray into more complex interaction scenarios.
