A robot that can flip pancakes and even crack open a bottle of fizz has hit the market for £10,000.

The G1 humanoid robot has mind-blowing flexibility due to its extra large joint space which allows it to contort.

It is able to stand up, sit down and fold itself inward with its super bendy arms and legs.

It has the ability to hold, drop and catch items using its metal hands.

And it can even get to work in the kitchen.

A video of the incredible invention, which has 1.4 million views, shows the robot picking out some nuts from a bowl and crushing them on a chopping board.

Using its claws, it can even slice off the lid from a bottle of fizzy pop.

In the video, the robot can even be seen perfectly flipping a slice of bread in a pan before expertly aiming it onto a plate.

Yushu technology, known as Unitree Robotics, designed the humanoid in Hangzhou, China.

It has a running speed of two metres per second and weighs less than 50kg.

And as well as moving like a human being, the G1 is able to defend itself like a pro.

A video shows a man kicking the robot and using boxing glove to throw punches at its torso.

The robot manages to withstand the attack and maintain its balance so that it can stay on its feet.

G1 relies on a 36-degree LiDAR system so that it can assess its environment, allowing it to function as needed.

Powered by a 13-string lithium rechargeable battery, it can operate on a battery life of around two hours.

The G1 robot was showcased at the Spring Festival Gala which took place in China at the end of January this year.

Since uploading the video of the robot, many viewers have shared their thoughts on the creation, as reported by Need To Know.

One person wrote: “??Robot: ‘Give me your jacket, jeans, boots and motorcycle’.”

Another user said: “We’re officially entering ‘The Age of Robot Contortionists’.”

“I thought robotics was dying a decade ago, now we’re seeing robotics startup companies pop up everywhere. It’s an exciting time we’re living in currently,” added a third viewer.

Richard commented: “I love how robots are already sarcastic.”
