Unitree
Unitree G1
The G1 is the humanoid that changed the market: a complete bipedal robot with optional hands and an open SDK, for less than a small car. It's the model you see in labs, universities and viral videos, and the reason is simple: nothing else offers this much for $13,500.
It is not a household robot: today its home is research, development and content creation. But as a platform to learn and build on, it's the absolute reference. EDU versions add more degrees of freedom, tactile hands and extra compute.
The good
- Unbeatable capability-to-price ratio
- Open SDK and a huge community
- Buy online, ships worldwide
- Proven agile mobility (not just marketing demos)
The bad
- Doesn't do useful household chores on its own
- Versions with hands and more DoF get expensive fast
- Needs technical skills to get the most out of it
