A tech company has unveiled a humanoid robot capable of some seriously jaw-dropping moves.

The Unitree H2 Destiny Awakening marks a step forward in lifelike robotics and is capable of performing complex actions that blur the line between human and machine.

The new model can pull off impressive ballet moves, spinning and balancing with ease.

It can also act out fighting moves, hinting at a possible future of robot hand-to-hand combat.

Unitree said: “Welcome to this world – standing 180cm tall and weighing 70kg.

“The H2 bionic humanoid – born to serve everyone safely and friendly.”

The H2 Destiny Awakening is an upgrade on earlier models, which were already capable of playing football, opening drinks, and defending themselves from attackers, as reported by Need To Know.

The Chinese-based tech firm is clearly pushing the envelope, closing the gap between humans and robots.

Their demo video of the H2 Destiny Awakening has racked up over 86,000 views and 526 comments.

Many fans were reminded of the 2004 Will Smith film, I, Robot, about highly intelligent robots.

One said: “One step closer to Sonny, from ’I, Robot.”

Others were impressed – or slightly spooked.

And one joked: “This is the one that ate vegetables and drank its milk.”
