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
