In robotics, achieving the fluidity and agility of human movement has long been a challenge for developers. While the complexities of bipedal locomotion, precision, and speed have remained a hurdle for some developers, Chinese robotic company Unitree has built a robot that has managed to break the speed records held by its mechanical counterparts. Unitree recently unveiled its H1 humanoid robot in a video showcasing its abilities. Standing at 5 feet 11 inches and weighing approximately 110 pounds, the H1 robot reached an impressive velocity of 3.3 m/s, equivalent to about 7.4 mph. GiantFreakinRobot
GTA 6‘s development has reportedly fallen so far behind, the eagerly-anticipated game may miss its 2025 release window. Anonymous sources have told Kotaku that development on GTA 6 has “fallen behind”, which is allegedly why management has asked developers to return to the office full-time as leadership is worried the game may slip to 2026. Right now, Rockstar is apparently still “aiming” for a spring (Q2) 2025 release, although the same sources suggest that an autumn (Q3) release seems more realistic. Eurogamer
Landmarks across London will be switching their lights off for an hour on Saturday night as part of an environmental awareness campaign. The annual Earth Hour, spearheaded by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), is observed around the world. Previous years have seen Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, and the Sydney Opera House turn out the lights. The WWF suggests individuals use the 60 minutes, between 20:30 and 21:30, “to do something positive for the planet”. BBC
