What to know

The G1 is the humanoid most people mean when they say you can now buy one. It is about 1.32 m tall and is famous online for its kung-fu and boxing demos.

It is a development platform, not a butler. Out of the box it walks, balances and runs Unitree's demos; making it do useful work means programming it yourself. That is why most buyers are universities, labs and well-funded hobbyists.

The $13,500 base model has simple arms. The EDU versions add more joints, optional dexterous hands and an NVIDIA Orin computer for AI research, at several times the price.

Good for

  • Robotics labs and universities
  • Developers building humanoid AI
  • Content creators and showrooms

Watch out for

  • About 2 hours of battery
  • Does not do household chores on its own
  • Retailer prices vary widely; compare before buying
