Unitree G1 Humanoid
Bipedal humanoid platform at a research-accessible price point
From $23,700 · RaaS n/a
Made by Unitree Robotics
Unitree the most accessible quadruped and humanoid robots in research and education
Unitree single-handedly made advanced legged robotics affordable — the Go2 quadruped, G1 humanoid, and H2 next-gen humanoid have put research-grade dynamic robots in university labs that could not otherwise afford Boston Dynamics-class hardware.

About the brand
Who is Unitree?
Unitree Robotics was founded in 2016 in Hangzhou by Wang Xingxing, a quadruped robotics researcher who set out to build a Spot-class robot at one-tenth the price. He delivered. The Aliengo, Go1, Go2, and B1 quadrupeds have made dynamic legged robotics broadly accessible. The G1 humanoid and the next-generation H2 are now doing the same for bipedal research. Unitree has become the default quadruped platform for university research labs worldwide.

Why us
Why we partner with Unitree
01
Spot-class capability at one-tenth the price
Boston Dynamics Spot is $75K+. Unitree Go2 EDU is $5,995. The capability gap has narrowed dramatically; the price gap has not. Most universities and many enterprises choose Unitree.
02
The G1 changed humanoid research
A bipedal walking humanoid at $23,700 is genuinely revolutionary. Universities that could never justify a humanoid program now have one.
03
Open SDK and active research community
Unitree publishes Python and ROS SDKs, URDFs, and Isaac Sim integration. The research community has produced thousands of papers and demos on Unitree hardware.

Questions & answers
Long-form Q&A: deploying Unitree in production
Real questions from research labs and industrial inspection customers buying Unitree.
-
Can the G1 humanoid actually do useful work, or is it a research toy?
Today, it is a research and demo platform. The G1’s value is letting universities and AI labs run bipedal RL, manipulation, and HRI research. Industrial deployment is still 2-3 years out for any humanoid platform; G1 is the right way to be ready.
-
What is Go2 EDU's battery life?
1.5-2.5 hours depending on activity. Hot-swap batteries available. For most research sessions, one battery covers a typical 90-minute lab.
-
Can Unitree quadrupeds climb stairs?
Yes. Go2 and B1 both climb standard commercial stairs (about 7-inch rise). We have customer footage of Go2 navigating multi-flight stairwells autonomously.
-
How rugged is the B1 for outdoor inspection?
Industrial-grade. IP68 rating, 20kg payload, runs in rain and dust. Used in oil and gas inspection, substation patrol, and infrastructure monitoring.
-
Does Unitree integrate with NVIDIA Isaac?
Yes. URDFs, Isaac Sim scenes, and Isaac ROS packages are published. Sim-to-real transfer for legged locomotion is a documented research workflow.
-
What is the difference between Go1 EDU and Go1 EDU+?
EDU+ adds a 3D LiDAR (RoboSense or Livox depending on configuration) for full perception research. Worth the extra cost if perception research is the goal.
-
Can Unitree H2 walk and balance on uneven terrain?
Yes, within reason. H2 has dynamic balance and can handle stairs, ramps, and modest uneven outdoor terrain. It is not industrial-rated for hazardous environments.
-
How does payload work on a quadruped?
Go2 EDU carries ~5kg. B1 carries ~20kg. Standard mounting plate with mounting holes for custom sensor and manipulator payloads. Many research labs add a small manipulator on top of Go2.
-
What is the warranty?
One-year Unitree manufacturer warranty plus extended RobotLAB plans. Educational customers get included support; enterprise customers get prioritized response.
-
Can multiple Unitree robots work together?
Yes. Multi-robot ROS frameworks and multi-Unitree research labs are common. Coordinated quadruped swarm research is an active area.
