Toward Humanoid Robots in Construction: A Teleoperation Feasibility Study
This study tested a teleoperation system allowing one person to control a Unitree G1 humanoid for construction tasks using an XR headset and foot pedals. The system successfully demonstrated tool transport and painting, achieving high success rates but suffered from significant time slowdowns compared to manual work. It shows the potential for remote humanoids in construction while highlighting issues with grasp stability and motor overheating.
