Unitree G1

The base G1 and G1 EDU have different configurations. Unitree's store lists the base model as backordered and directs development/customization buyers to EDU. This record is not a household recommendation.Source(opens in a new tab)

What should a family check?

Which configuration does the quote cover?
What can it do without a developer or remote operator?
What supervision, space and ongoing costs would it need?
What privacy and delivery terms apply to your household?

These are questions to resolve, not capabilities established by this record.

About this reference profile

Limited-spec reference profile. This is not a hands-on review or buying recommendation.

Configuration: Base Unitree G1 only; excludes G1 EDU, G1 Pro, optional hands and optional EDU computing modules. Manufacturer ratings, not household testing.
Region and source scope: Unitree English-language specifications, official-store USD display and Chinese company history; no destination-specific stock, delivery or landed-price guarantee.

Which Unitree G1 model is covered?

This is the base Unitree G1 profile, not G1 EDU or G1 Pro. The base and EDU specifications differ, so optional hands and EDU computing should not be assumed to come with the base model.

Evidence fields: Name, Manufacturer, Primary Category, Official Url, Summary, Compute platform.

What does the maker intend it to do?

The store directs development and customization buyers to EDU and says base G1 does not support secondary development. We have not established a supported household-use classification for the base model.

Evidence fields: Intended Use, Summary.

How much does Unitree G1 cost, and can I buy it?

The official store advertised base G1 at US$13,500 when checked on October 21, 2026, before shipping, taxes and duties. It marked base G1 as backordered, not confirmed ready to ship; EDU is separately quoted.

Evidence fields: Price, Price Note, Availability.

What do the specifications tell me?

Unitree's base-model table provides size, weight, joint count and an approximate runtime. Its roughly 2 kg arm-load rating varies with arm position; it is not a whole-body carrying limit or evidence of reliable chores at home.

Evidence fields: Height, Weight, Degrees of freedom (total), Runtime, Payload.

What should I check before bringing one home?

Ask which configuration is being sold, what it can do out of the box, how it is supervised, and what service and delivery are available where you live. Keep shipping and import costs separate from the advertised base price.

Evidence fields: Intended Use, Availability, Price Note, Notable Ai Software.

What is still unknown?

These checked sources do not establish a base-model walking-speed rating, battery energy in Wh or manufacturing country. Family-level AI demonstrations also do not settle the included base software or household suitability.

Evidence fields: Walk speed, Battery, Country of origin, Notable Ai Software, Intended Use.
