Unitree G1

Description

The G1 is Unitree’s compact, foldable humanoid (1.32 m) that made embodied-AI research accessible at a consumer-adjacent price. Important: the base G1 (from $13,500) is a closed demonstration unit and does NOT support secondary development. The G1 EDU adds SDK development, higher knee torque (120 N·m), higher arm payload, expandable DOF up to 43 and optional Dex3-1 force-controlled dexterous hands. Version and price are quoted per order.
