The Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot stands 4 feet tall and weighs roughly 77 pounds (35 kilograms) and equipped with 23 degrees of freedom, allowing it to perform a range of complex movements, from jumping, turning and climbing stairs. Additionally, it can get up from a reclining posture and even fold into a compact size for convenient transport, making it versatile for various tasks.
One of the standout features of the G1 is its LED-ringed face, which is outfitted with Livox Mid-360 lidar camera and Intel RealSense D435 depth camera, providing exceptional environmental awareness in real-time. The robot also includes a noise-cancelling microphone array for voice commands and a 5-W stereo speaker for responses, ensuring seamless interaction. All cabling is internally routed, maintaining a sleek design and preventing snags during operation. The G1 runs on a 9,000-mAh battery, offering around two hours of operation per charge. It can move at speeds of up to 2 m/s (4.5 mph) and features three-fingered hands capable of handling delicate objects or performing precise tasks like soldering.
The G1 is more than just a mechanical marvel; it’s a learning machine, powered by Unitree's Robot Unified Large Model (UnifoLM), enabling it to learn new skills through imitation and reinforcement learning, making it ideal for research institutions, universities, and companies exploring robotic automation.
Unitree's prowess in robotics extends beyond humanoids. The company claims to have more than 60% of the global market share for quadruped robots, with its Go2 consumer model and B2 industrial model gaining popularity. With the G1, Unitree Robotics is setting a new standard for affordability and innovation in the humanoid robotics space, challenging industry giants like Boston Dynamics and Tesla.
