AsianFin -- Chinese robotics startup Unitree Robotics, widely recognized for its humanoid robots that performed at the CMG New Year’s Gala, has open-sourced a key part of its robotic intelligence architecture to encourage broader adoption and developer collaboration.

The Hangzhou-based company on Tuesday released the source code for UnifoLM-WMA-0, a module within its Uniform Large Models (UnifoLM) series designed to standardize applications across diverse robotic tasks and environments. The move allows researchers and developers to experiment with advanced robotic intelligence without starting from scratch, potentially accelerating innovation in humanoid and multi-purpose robotics.

UnifoLM-WMA-0 integrates vision, language, and action capabilities into a unified system. It is currently deployed in Unitree’s G1 humanoid robot, a 1.3-meter-tall model launched last year. The G1 uses the system to perceive its environment, interpret tasks, and execute coordinated movements, blending real-world sensing with AI-driven decision-making.

According to Unitree, the open-sourced architecture revolves around a world model capable of understanding the physical laws of robot-environment interaction. The system includes a simulation engine that models future states and a policy enhancement head that translates predicted outcomes into actionable movements for robotic limbs. Early demonstrations show the model generating video simulations of movement sequences, which are then converted into real-time robot actions.
