I have been working on my G1-Air. I have found that using WebRTC, you can control your G1-Air from your Win 11/Linux machine! I am able to send commands such as wave, walk, run, view the camera live, audio live, send custom audio to the G1 live and much more services and controls using python. 

Working with AI, I have seemed to have bridged some of the gaps between the Air and the EDU. Motor controls are still locked. However, we are getting closer to having the G1 have a high degree of automation very soon. 

The goal would be, to have an external LLM or other form of AI, have access to the G1 via a custom python software I am developing. Which would allow the AI to control the bots movements, audio, cameras, lidar, and much more. 

I have developed custom python codes I am testing currently. So far, the controls are very extensive, FAR more than what anyone thinks is possible with the G1-Air. I will be uploading a video on youtube with some early forms of my testing and programming. 

I will keep a running log of everything I have developed. 

Feel free to join in on the fun! I can share some of this custom python codes where appropriate. 

MCR Robotics: Progress Update, Accomplishments and Our Vision for the Future

Over the past several months, MCR Robotics has made substantial progress toward transforming the Unitree G1 from an impressive humanoid platform into a practical, intelligent and commercially supportable robotic system.

Our work has progressed well beyond basic demonstrations. We have developed a comprehensive AI embodiment platform that brings together conversational intelligence, vision, hearing, speech, memory, movement, remote interaction and real-time system awareness. The G1 can perceive its surroundings, communicate naturally, respond to instructions, perform approved movements and interact with people through an increasingly unified system.

Key accomplishments include:

• Integrated real-time vision, audio, speech recognition and natural voice responses

• Persistent memory and contextual awareness

• Remote video, communication, monitoring and control capabilities

• Visual tracking, person recognition and early follow-me functionality

• Recorded and repeatable arm movements

• Expanded movement control and behavioral coordination

• Live telemetry, connection monitoring and automatic recovery systems

• Extensive hardware, communications and internal systems research

• A growing library of diagnostics, tools and safety controls

• A foundation capable of supporting future robotic hands, sensors and specialized equipment

Much of our recent work has focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the G1’s internal systems and overcoming limitations that normally restrict development, diagnostics and serviceability. We have made important progress, but we are intentionally keeping the underlying methods, architecture and discoveries confidential. Protecting our intellectual property—and the safety and security of every robot—is central to our strategy.

More Than Software

MCR Robotics is developing into a full-service humanoid robotics company.

Our planned services include:

• Unitree robot sales and procurement assistance

• System configuration and deployment

• AI and software integration

• Hardware installation and upgrades

• Diagnostics, maintenance and repair

• On-site and remote technical support

• Custom application development

• Business and institutional robotics consulting

• Long-term managed service and support plans

Our goal is to give customers one accountable partner for the complete robotic lifecycle—from choosing and deploying a robot to maintaining, improving and supporting it over time.

Building a Full-Stack Robotics Platform

Our long-term direction is a secure, managed platform connecting the robot, local computing, cloud services and advanced AI into one coordinated system.

This platform is being designed to support controlled enrollment, licensing, remote management, monitoring, updates and expandable capabilities across multiple robots and customer environments. Rather than treating each robot as an isolated experiment, we envision a scalable service through which businesses and organizations can deploy humanoid robotics with professional support and continued development.

We are also developing relationships and exploring high-level strategic collaborations with experienced organizations across technology, infrastructure, AI, engineering and commercial deployment. These relationships will help MCR Robotics move responsibly from research and prototyping toward durable real-world systems.

Our Vision

We believe humanoid robots will become a new class of computing platform: machines capable of understanding people, navigating human environments and assisting with physical tasks while remaining under clear human supervision.

Our objective is not to create impressive demonstrations that cannot survive outside a laboratory. We are building toward practical robots that can be deployed, managed, serviced and continuously improved.

Safety, privacy, reliability and responsible human control will remain core requirements throughout that process.

There is still considerable work ahead, particularly in manipulation, autonomous navigation, dependable long-duration operation and task-specific training. However, the foundation is now in place, and development is moving rapidly.

MCR Robotics intends to participate in the entire future of humanoid robotics—from sales, service and repair to AI, software, cloud management and complete commercial deployments.

We will continue sharing public milestones with this community while protecting the technical work that makes those milestones possible. We also welcome conversations with prospective customers, robotics owners, developers and organizations interested in future deployments or strategic collaboration.

J19 CORE — Embodiment Platform Development Milestone

Cognitive Orchestration for Robotic Embodiment

We are pleased to share a major development milestone for J19 CORE, our robotics intelligence and embodiment platform currently being developed for the Unitree G1.

J19 CORE is designed to connect artificial intelligence with a robot’s senses, communication systems, movement capabilities and available tools. Its purpose is to turn separate robotic functions into one coordinated system capable of perceiving, communicating, remembering, responding and taking supervised physical action.

The current release remains exclusive to compatible Unitree G1 configurations. However, the long-term architecture is intended to be adaptable to other open and commercially accessible robotic platforms.

Current Development Status

The core embodiment bridge is operational and has moved beyond the initial proof-of-concept stage. Major systems have been successfully connected and are now being refined through repeated testing.

Current capabilities include:

• Natural voice interaction and spoken responses

• Real-time visual awareness

• Live robot camera viewing

• Environmental and person detection

• Supervised visual tracking experiments

• Contextual conversation and persistent memory

• Controlled access to approved robot movements

• Recorded and repeatable arm actions

• Remote communication, monitoring and supervision

• Live system and connection health information

• Automatic reconnection and recovery functions

• Expandable tools for diagnostics and approved tasks

• Support for external computing systems automation controls and compatible AI services

• Safety controls, command restrictions and emergency stop handling

J19 CORE can receive a human request, interpret its meaning, evaluate available capabilities and coordinate an appropriate response. Depending on the request, that response may involve speech, vision, memory, movement or another approved system function.

These capabilities are coordinated through proprietary software developed specifically for embodied intelligence. Internal architecture, communications methods, security systems and implementation details are not being publicly disclosed.

Testing and Reliability

Testing is being conducted progressively, beginning with isolated functions and advancing toward complete supervised interactions.

Completed and ongoing testing includes:

• Repeated voice and conversational sessions

• Continuous video and audio operation

• Robot shutdown, restart and reconnection testing

• Temporary communication-loss recovery

• Controlled movement execution

• Command interruption and stop behavior

• Visual detection and tracking trials

• Memory storage and later recall

• Extended operating sessions

• Windows- and Linux-based host environments

• Different local and remote operating conditions

• Failure detection and graceful recovery behavior

The system now performs reliably enough for structured demonstrations and controlled beta testing. However, it remains active development software and is not being represented as a finished autonomous product.

Human supervision is still required. Current builds are not intended for unsupervised operation in hazardous, crowded or safety-critical environments.

Compatibility

The current paid beta is limited to qualified Unitree G1 owners and organizations.

Compatibility can depend on the robot’s hardware configuration, installed equipment, firmware, host computer and intended application. Each prospective installation must therefore be reviewed before enrollment.

Development builds have operated in both Windows- and Linux-based computing environments. Future releases are planned to offer more standardized installation, configuration and management.

J19 CORE is being built with adaptability in mind. A future robotic platform may become compatible when it provides sufficient access to its sensors, communications, computing and approved control systems. Compatibility with other robots is a future objective and is not yet publicly available.

Current Development Priorities

The next stage of work is focused on:

• Longer-duration reliability and endurance testing

• Improved movement precision and behavioral coordination

• More dependable visual tracking and supervised follow capabilities

• Expanded environmental understanding

• Integration of dexterous hands and manipulation systems

• Additional safeguards and permission controls

• Simplified installation and customer onboarding

• Compatibility testing across more G1 configurations

• Secure licensing and managed deployment

• Multi-robot monitoring and administration

• Cloud-assisted services and fleet management

• Expanded documentation, diagnostics and support tools

• Task-specific training and commercial application development

A significant amount of testing remains before J19 CORE can be considered a production platform. Development will continue through controlled milestones, with safety and reliability taking priority over rushed autonomy.

The Long-Term Vision

J19 CORE is ultimately intended to become a universal bridge between advanced artificial intelligence and compatible physical machines.

The objective is not to create one fixed personality or one collection of demonstrations. The objective is to establish a reusable intelligence layer that can be adapted to different robots, equipment, sensors and working environments.

Future applications may include customer engagement, demonstrations, education, inspection, remote presence, research, business assistance and supervised physical tasks. Every deployment will depend on the capabilities and safety limitations of the underlying robot.

Limited Paid Beta Now Available

A limited public paid beta of J19 CORE — G1 Edition is now available to qualified Unitree G1 owners, developers, businesses and research organizations.

Beta participation may include compatibility review, installation assistance, supervised testing and access to selected development capabilities. Features, pricing and support requirements will vary according to the robot’s configuration and the intended project.

Participants should understand that this is active development software. Features may change, testing may reveal limitations and some capabilities will require close supervision.

Interested parties may contact us privately for eligibility, pricing and additional information.

We will continue sharing safe public milestones while protecting the proprietary work, security measures and technical discoveries behind the platform.
