Unitree G1 humanoid robot

Overview

Unitree G1 is an affordable humanoid with bipedal walking designed for education, research, and demonstrations. In the base version, it has 23 joint degrees of freedom, a foldable chassis for easy transport, and powerful joints (up to 90 N·m at the knee). Integrated 3D perception (depth camera + 3D LiDAR), an 8-core computing module, Wi‑Fi 6/BT 5.2, a 4‑microphone array, and a 5 W speaker enable advanced interactions. Battery life is approximately 2 hours.

Some configurations and vendors list a sensor combination of Intel RealSense D435 and Livox MID‑360 LiDAR (varies by version/equipment).

Why G1 stands out

• Foldable design: 1320 × 450 × 200 mm standing, only 690 × 450 × 300 mm when folded – easy to transport between laboratories.
• Smooth and robust kinematics: industrial crossed roller bearings and PMSM inner-rotor motors for fast response and better cooling.
• Ready for interaction: 3D perception, microphone array, 5 W audio, and OTA updates for ongoing improvements.
• Expandability: optional dexterous three-finger Dex3‑1 hands (tactile sensors optional) and, for the G1 EDU version, additional degrees of freedom and an NVIDIA Jetson Orin module.

Typical applications

• University and corporate R&D labs (locomotion, manipulation, perception, HRI)
• Demonstrations and popularization of robotics, AI/ML education (imitation and reinforcement learning)
• Integration into experimental lines and test workstations
