Variants: G1 · G1 EDU
Overview
Compact and two-legged, the G1 from Unitree Robotics of Hangzhou, China, was announced on 13 May 2024. It comes as a standard model and an EDU configuration with extra optional joints and hands. Only the EDU version supports secondary development through Unitree SDK2, and the SDK and ROS 2 interface libraries are public under BSD-3-Clause.
Unitree's website lists the standard model at US$13,500, excluding tax and shipping, but we could not confirm current availability. That is down from a US$16,000 launch price in May 2024. The EDU is quote-only. The Economic Observer reported 410 G1 sales in calendar 2024, based on Unitree's prospectus.
At 1.32 m and about 35 kg, it sits well below the 1.7 m and 61 kg medians across humanoid records. The standard model has 23 degrees of freedom; EDU builds range up to 43, with an optional 7-DoF force-controlled three-fingered hand. Arms carry about 2 kg, or 3 kg on the EDU. The maker's manual gives a running speed of up to 2.0 m/s on flat terrain, and runtime is about 120 min. Sensing pairs a depth camera with 3D LiDAR and a four-microphone array. Battery capacity, charge time and total payload are unpublished.
