A humanoid robot is training for Mount Everest, because apparently, regular mountaineering was not making humans feel fragile enough.
The robot is Pemba, a modified Unitree G1 that recently reached Chimborazo in Ecuador, a brutal high-altitude test full of ice, wind, volcanic rock and air thin enough to humble CrossFit people. The bigger pitch is practical: robots that could monitor glaciers, collect trash, haul gear or assist rescues where humans get flattened.
It still needs humans through dicey moments. Let’s just hope it remembers snacks.
