About Unitree G1

Unitree G1 is a humanoid robot designed for research, education, and commercial applications. Standing 1.32 meters tall and weighing approximately 35 kg, it features 23 to 43 joint motors, force-controlled dexterous hands, and a depth camera plus 3D LiDAR for perception. Powered by an 8-core CPU and running the UnifoLM (Unified Robot Large Model), it supports OTA software upgrades, imitation learning, and force-position hybrid control for precise object manipulation. The G1 can fold to a compact size of 690x450x300 mm for storage or transport. It offers up to 2 hours of battery life and comes with a manual controller. Two variants are available: the base G1 for $13,500 and the G1 EDU with additional degrees of freedom, higher torque, and secondary development support.
