Unitree G1

Unitree's small bipedal humanoid robot, one of the most common humanoid platforms in research.

G1 is the bipedal humanoid robot Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics released in May 2024, launched starting at RMB 99,000 (about $16,000), bringing humanoid robot prices into a range university labs could afford. Published specs: standing height about 1.32 meters, weight about 35 kg including battery, 23 to 43 joint motors across the body depending on configuration (the EDU version can add a waist joint and dexterous hands), 6 degrees of freedom per leg, about 2 hours of battery life, and a foldable, storable frame. Because it is inexpensive, ships with an open SDK, and has ready-made reinforcement-learning training code, it has become one of the most common real robots used in locomotion control, whole-body teleoperation, and humanoid VLA papers.

ExampleMany humanoid motion-imitation papers, such as BeyondMimic and TWIST, demonstrate their results on a real Unitree G1.
