(Yicai) Dec. 15 -- Unitree Robotics said the Chinese robotics startup has launched public beta testing of its humanoid robot app store, the world's first content distribution platform dedicated to modularizing and standardizing the functional modules of robots.

The app store integrates four core modules in its architecture: "User Plaza," "Action Library," "Dataset," and "Developer Center," according to demonstration materials Unitree released on its website on Dec. 13.

The marketplace's core logic is based on "ready-to-use," allowing users to connect their robots through a mobile app to deploy complex motion control algorithms from the cloud to the robot terminal with a single click, just like installing software on a mobile phone, without needing to possess underlying coding skills, Hangzhou-based Unitree noted.

In addition, users can upload and share their trained dance, martial arts, and other models, as well as download actions developed by others to deploy on Unitree's robots. The platform also includes data collected from real robots, allowing users to upload their own data or download datasets from others for algorithm training and optimization.

The public beta launched with three actions: Funny Actions, Twist Dance, and Bruce Lee. Taking the Bruce Lee one as an example, it is designed specifically for hardcore robot enthusiasts as an action control app, which utilizes exclusive dynamics algorithms and motion capture data, seamlessly transferring the classic Jeet Kune Do action library of the martial artist onto robots' hardware.

The Bruce Lee action is compatible with the platforms of Unitree's G1-Edu and G1-Edu+, allowing users to directly download and install it on the robots to replicate a set of complex martial arts movements.
