About
The Unitree G1 is a compact, lightweight humanoid released in 2024 as a research-focused complement to the taller H1. At $16,000 base, it is tied as the world's most affordable commercial humanoid. The G1's design prioritizes dexterous hands and upper-body manipulation over payload or speed, with 43 degrees of freedom including a 7-DOF hand per arm. Its smaller form factor makes it suited for laboratory and indoor tasks, while its open SDK attracts the global research community.
Deployment Notes
Available for direct purchase globally; strong adoption in university robotics labs. Frequently deployed alongside H1 and H1 Pro in academic AI and manipulation research.
