About the platform

The Unitree G1 is a universal humanoid robotics platform positioned for education, research, industrial proof-of-concept, and entertainment applications. The family spans an entry-level Basic Version through a full educational research suite (G1edu-U1 to U12), differentiated by compute, degrees of freedom, and dexterous hand options.

The G1 Basic Version offers 23 total DOF, 90 N·m knee torque, and depth-camera + 3D LiDAR perception. The G1 PRO upgrades torque (120 N·m), payload (3 kg), waist (3-DOF), and arm articulation (7-DOF). The G1edu line unlocks 100 TOPS expansion compute, full secondary development, and optional Dex3-1 three-finger or Revo 2 / RH56 five-finger dexterous hands — with or without tactile sensing.
