The Unitree G1 is a compact, lightweight humanoid released in 2024 as a research-focused complement to the taller H1. At $16,000 base, it is tied as the world's most affordable commercial humanoid. The G1's design prioritizes dexterous hands and upper-body manipulation over payload or speed, with 43 degrees of freedom including a 7-DOF hand per arm. Its smaller form factor makes it suited for laboratory and indoor tasks, while its open SDK attracts the global research community.
