Unitree G1
Unitree G1 is the world's most affordable full-featured humanoid robot — available for direct purchase starting at $16,000, making it the only humanoid robot a serious buyer can actually buy without a partnership negotiation. At 127cm and 35kg, the G1 walks bipedally, has dexterous multi-finger hands, climbs stairs, and falls and recovers autonomously. Its open SDK supports Python and ROS, attracting the largest developer community of any current humanoid. Unitree — the Chinese company that made quadruped robots accessible with the Go2 — has done the same for humanoids with the G1: the price point that opens the category to universities, research labs, and serious developers globally.
Unitree H1
Unitree H1 is a full-scale 180cm humanoid robot — the research and development tier above the G1, capable of running at 3.3 m/s, the fastest bipedal humanoid walking speed of any commercially available robot at launch. The H1 was the first affordable full-scale humanoid to break into the global research community, attracting hundreds of university and corporate research deployments. Open SDK with ROS and Python support enables custom locomotion, manipulation, and AI integration. The H1 bridged the gap between Boston Dynamics Atlas (inaccessible) and the toy/educational robots, establishing Unitree as a serious humanoid manufacturer before the G1 further democratised the category.
