A Unitree G1 humanoid startled a 70-year-old woman on a Macau street, then responded to her scolding with an apparent 'raise the roof' dance, prompting police to escort the machine away. The woman was hospitalized for a precautionary check and released; the robot was returned to its operator with instructions to be more careful.

SkyFall's StarGate Drone Evacuated Two Wounded Soldiers From the Front Line
Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment says it used the purpose-built StarGate drone to evacuate two seriously wounded soldiers in the space of a week, flying one casualty nearly 20 miles to reach him and about the same distance back. Ground vehicles could not reach the men because of water obstacles and attack-drone threats, and the covered, medical-grade stretcher module kept each casualty protected in flight. The regiment now plans a dedicated aerial medical evacuation unit, turning one-off rescues into a repeatable capability.
