The Unitree G1 is a state-of-the-art humanoid robot that impresses with its remarkable freedom of movement and highly advanced technology. With an exceptionally wide joint mobility and – depending on the version – up to 43 powered degrees of freedom, it clearly surpasses the mobility of an average human.
Using imitation learning and reinforcement learning, the robot continuously develops its abilities, constantly improving its artificial intelligence performance.
A special highlight is the G1’s ability to independently rise from the ground into a standing position. Without any external assistance, it stands up and is immediately ready for operation.
Note: This function is not available when the robot is equipped with hands.
The Basic Version of the Unitree G1 primarily serves as an impressive demonstration and showcase model. It is ideal for presenting the robot’s dynamic movement performance, stability, and agility live – completely without programming effort.
However, those who truly want to dive into robotics research will choose the EDU versions:
These variants are fully programmable and offer an open development platform for both high-level and low-level control. This enables the creation of custom motion sequences, control algorithms, and complex AI functions.
All EDU models are equipped with an integrated NVIDIA Orin NX 16GB computing unit, providing huge performance reserves for real-time AI, perception algorithms, and machine learning.
