About G1
G1 has disrupted the humanoid robot market with its remarkably low starting price of $16,000 — making it accessible to universities, research labs, and small manufacturers that couldn't previously afford humanoid platforms.
Despite its compact size and low price, G1 delivers impressive performance: 35 DOF, 4.0 km/h top speed (one of the fastest humanoids), and sophisticated AI capabilities through Unitree's Uni-AI system.
Unitree's background in quadruped robots (the popular Go1 and B2 platforms) translates directly to G1's exceptional balance and dynamic movement capabilities. It can perform acrobatic movements including backflips.
