The Unitree G1 is a state-of-the-art humanoid robot that impresses with its remarkable mobility and advanced technology. With an exceptionally wide joint range of motion and – depending on the version – up to 43 powered degrees of freedom, it significantly surpasses the mobility of an average human.
Through the use of imitation learning and reinforcement learning, the robot continuously evolves its capabilities and steadily improves its performance in the field of artificial intelligence.
A standout feature of the G1 is its ability to autonomously rise from a lying position to a standing position. Without any external assistance, it gets back up and is immediately ready for operation.
Note: This function is not available when the robot is equipped with Hands.
The G1 can be intuitively and precisely controlled using the VirDyn Full Suit. By capturing human motion in real time, the suit directly transfers the user’s kinematics to the robot. This enables complex motion sequences, grasping tasks, and interactions to be performed naturally and without extensive programming.
This form of teleoperation enables rapid deployment and flexible use cases, such as research, AI model training, or demanding manipulation tasks. At the same time, the high-resolution, low-latency data transmission ensures stable and synchronized motion between human and machine.
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, stability, and performance – without requiring any programming.
For those who want to dive deeper into robotics research, the EDU versions are the right choice:
Only these variants are fully programmable and provide an open development platform for both high-level and low-level control. This enables custom motion sequences, control algorithms, and advanced AI functionalities.
All EDU models feature an integrated NVIDIA Orin NX 16GB computing unit, delivering powerful performance for real-time AI, perception algorithms, and machine learning.
