Gideon

Gideon is a humanoid robot (Unitree G1), standing tall as the face of future robotics. Agile, expressive, and eerily lifelike, Gideon brings human-centered AI to the forefront. He’s not just a machine—he’s your mirror into tomorrow.

Designed to walk like you and think like you, Gideon serves as a dynamic research partner for human-robot interaction, embodied AI, and locomotion studies. With a humanoid form engineered for agility and expression, he blurs the boundaries between mechanical intelligence and emotional presence.

Whether testing algorithms, responding to social cues, or navigating environments with grace, Gideon is a platform that inspires curiosity and pushes the edge of what’s possible in robotics.

“I walk like you, think like you—soon, I’ll dream too.”
