Unitree Robotics introduces US$16,000 G1 humanoid robot for mass production. G1 model showcases agility and performance in latest video demonstration. Features advanced technology including 3D LiDAR, RealSense depth camera, and voice command capabilities.
The company has recently introduced a version geared towards mass production, marking a significant milestone in its robot development journey.
Initially focusing on quadruped robots like the Go2 and B2, Unitree shifted its attention to biped humanoids. Despite facing tough competition from industry giants like Tesla, Figure, Boston Dynamics, and Sanctuary AI, Unitree's progress has been remarkable. The G1 model, priced at US$16,000, boasts a visor-like face, advanced three-digit hands, and a production-ready appearance.
In just a few months since its reveal in May, Unitree engineers have fine-tuned the G1 humanoid robot for mass production. The latest video showcases the robot's agility, demonstrating its ability to leap, twist, hop, dance, climb stairs, navigate obstacles, and adjust its gait in real-time. The robot even withstands physical challenges without losing balance, highlighting its robust design.
The humanoid robot stands at 1.32 meters in height and can fold down to 690 x 450 x 300 mm for easy storage. Weighing 35 kg, it features a 3D LiDAR and RealSense depth camera on its LED-ringed face, along with a noise-canceling microphone array for voice commands and a 5-W stereo speaker for responses. With 23 degrees of freedom in its joints, the robot can move at speeds of up to 2 m/s.
Despite the impressive features, the pricing for the G1 humanoid robot starts at US$16,000. While Unitree labels this version as ready for mass production, the company has not confirmed the commencement of mass production.
