Competition is heating up in the booming humanoid robotics sector, between US-based Boston Dynamics and China's Unitree. The Chinese firm has just taken a major step forward with the mass marketing of its robots, at relatively attractive prices for professionals.

Boston Dynamics and Unitree both have a large number of projects in the pipeline. This year, the American company presented a completely new version of its famous Atlas humanoid robot, in a fully electric, autonomous form that is much more dexterous than before. It is due to be tested in a car factory before being put into production. Currently only the Spot dog robot is marketed on a large scale.
