Chasing Autonomy paper pushes Unitree G1 running to 3.3 m/s

Mar 26, 2026 · Research Publication · Unitree · Humanoid

  • The paper combines dynamic retargeting with control-guided reinforcement learning for performant, controllable humanoid running.
  • Hardware experiments deploy the policy on Unitree G1 and report running speeds up to 3.3 m/s over hundreds of meters.
  • It matters for G1 because the work also demonstrates outdoor obstacle avoidance in a perception-and-planning autonomy stack.

Develops quadruped and humanoid robots, with strength in dynamic locomotion, vertically integrated hardware, and relatively low-cost commercial deployment. Unitree is one of the clearest examples of a legged robotics company moving from research visibility into real productisation and broader market distribution.
