Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot


Unitree is constantly updating the G1’s algorithm, allowing it to learn and practice a variety of movements. 

The latest update improves its balance and expands its range of motion. Designed for demanding, repetitive tasks in homes, factories, and hospitals, the G1 aligns with Unitree’s vision for humanoid robots to be practical work and life companions. Standing at just 4.33 feet (1.32 meters) tall and weighing 77 lbs (35 kg), the G1 folds compactly to 27 x 17.7 x 11.8 inches for easy storage. It features advanced technologies like 3D LiDAR, a RealSense depth camera, and a noise-canceling microphone array for voice command response. The G1 is powered by a 9,000mAh quick-release battery, offering two hours of runtime with quick transitions for extended use. It features a high-performance 8-core CPU and reinforced joints that enable 23 DoF in its arms, legs, and torso. The design allows for agile movement and walking speeds of up to 2 m/s (4.5 mph).
