Unitree G1 - Humanoid robot

Unitree G1 - Compact humanoid robot for research & development

The Unitree G1 is a state-of-the-art humanoid robot that impresses with its compact design, high mobility and powerful sensors.
With 23-43 degrees of freedom and a weight of only approx. 35 kg, it offers a versatile platform for universities, research institutions and development teams working on robotics, AI and automation.

Thanks to its foldable design (approx. 1.32 m when set up, approx. 0.69 m when folded), the G1 is easy to transport and can be used flexibly.
The integrated sensor technology - including 3D LiDAR, depth camera and microphone array - enables precise perception of the environment and supports a wide range of applications such as human-robot interaction, AI training and dynamic motion control.
