Unitree has released the first few details on its G1 Humanoid Agent, a $16,000 robotic helper. The robot is equipped with 3D LiDAR sensors, a depth camera, three-fingered grippers, and a 9,000-mAh battery pack. It can recover from brutal kicks and punches, as seen in the short demo video in the article. At around 35 kg, the robot can fold itself down to 690x450x300-mm proportions for compact carry.

A testing strategy that relies heavily on end-to-end tests can cause a lot of issues in reality. While end-to-end tests seem like a good idea in theory, they often lead to delays in bug identification and fixes, as well as flaky test results. Instead, a better approach is to focus on unit tests and integration tests, which are often faster and more reliable.

Google Maps' redesign introduces a cleaner home screen, a simplified bottom navigation bar, a redesigned search field, and new pin colors. The new sheet-based interface allows users to interact with things on the map without taking over the whole screen. Switching between tabs will be less frequent as the map is visible using different app functions. The updated version improves the placement of transport options at the bottom of the screen and features a new arrival card design.
