CASE STUDIES
STRENGTHS
Strengths of the Unitree G1
The G1 is a humanoid robot designed to move in the same space as people and to put AI to work onboard. Here we lay out the reasons it is chosen by research institutions, corporate R&D divisions, and educational institutions.
A wide range of motion close to the human body
What defines the G1’s body is the breadth of its joint range of motion. Equipped with 23-43 joint motors depending on configuration, it offers ±155° waist rotation, ±154° forward/backward at the hip, and 0-165° at the knee, a range close to the human body. It naturally performs a sequence of motions such as walking, crouching, twisting, and reaching.
Industrial-grade high-precision bearings
Cross-roller bearings in the joint drive units combine high precision with durability under heavy loads
High-efficiency joint motors
A fast-responding structure that dissipates heat easily, enabling crisp, agile movement
3D LiDAR
Reads the surrounding shapes in three dimensions, used for obstacle recognition and spatial awareness. Specific model numbers are provided in the configuration documents
Depth camera
Measures the distance to objects ahead. Specific model numbers are provided in the configuration documents
Internal wiring
Routing the wiring inside the joints reduces the risk of breakage while securing a wide range of motion
Dual angle sensors
Measure joint position with high accuracy
Waist
The waist rotates ±155° left and right, with higher configurations adding ±45° forward/backward tilt and ±30° side tilt. It handles the upper-body movements of twisting and leaning the torso.
Arm
Each arm moves with five joints, with two more available at the wrist in higher configurations. Payload is approx. 2kg on Basic and approx. 3kg on higher configurations. The arm is about 0.45m long, so its movements feel natural alongside a person.
Leg
Each leg moves with six joints (3 hip + 1 knee + 2 ankle). The knee moves 0-165°, and the hip offers ±154° forward/backward, -30 to +170° lateral, and ±158° rotation, providing a range close to the human body. The combined calf and thigh length is 0.6m.
A compact, foldable body
The G1 folds down to as small as 690×450×300mm when folded. It is an easy-to-handle size for uses such as moving in and out of exhibitions, carrying it between labs, and on-site demos away from the office.
Because it weighs approx. 35kg with the battery, transport is realistically handled by two people or with a dedicated cart or carrier.
A battery you can swap without tools
What supports the G1’s continuous operation is a battery you can quickly attach and detach without tools. Because you can keep running by swapping in a spare battery, it handles long-duration use such as exhibitions, full-day demos, and filming sets.
Power supply
9,000mAh
Battery runtime
Approx. 2 hours (varies with the task)
Battery swap
Quick tool-free attach and detach mechanism
For sites with continuous operation such as exhibitions and full-day demos, we recommend preparing one or two spare batteries. Please consult us about this when you contact us.
Whole-body motion that keeps balance while moving
The G1 is not a humanoid robot that merely stands and walks. Thanks to control that keeps it balancing on its own while moving, the following motions are possible.
Walking & running
Approx. 2 m/s (varies with configuration and surface conditions)
Jumps & backflips
Performs standing jumps, continuous jumps while running, and backflips on the spot
Clearing obstacles
Climbing stairs and steps has been confirmed in demos and research examples (the exact height varies with configuration and operating conditions)
Kung-fu routines
At the 2026 Spring Festival Gala (CCTV), G1 and H2 units autonomously performed a group kung-fu routine
Recovers when pushed
Even when pushed by a person or with a leg pulled, it quickly regains its posture
Autonomous walking in extreme cold
In February 2026, in the -47.4℃ environment of the Altay region of Xinjiang, it carried out a public demo walking over 130,000 steps and tracing emblems related to the Winter Olympics
Multi-finger hands with adjustable grip force
One of the G1’s core capabilities is multi-finger hands that can finely adjust grip force across multiple fingers. Because force can be adjusted at each finger joint, it can firmly grasp not only hard objects but also soft objects and objects of different shapes. It is a configuration suited to research and validation where you want to verify tasks performed in the same environment as people, such as cooking, serving, and assembly, on an actual unit. With the Edu Ultimate configuration, you can choose from a variety of hand options to match your use case.
Dex3-1 (without tactile sensing)
Three fingers with adjustable grip force, with seven joints in total
Dex3-1 (with 33 tactile sensors)
The above plus 33 added tactile sensors
Inspire RH56DFQ-2R / 2L
Five fingers
Inspire RH56DFTP-2R / 2L (17 tactile sensors)
Five fingers plus 17 tactile sensors
BrainCo Revo 2 Basic
BrainCo five-finger hand
BrainCo Revo 2 Touch
BrainCo five-finger hand plus tactile sensors
With the Edu Professional configuration, the hand options differ by configuration. It is equipped with one of the tactile-free Dex3-1, the Inspire five-finger hand, or the BrainCo Revo 2 Basic / Touch, so you can choose to match your research theme. Among them, the Dex3-1 is the representative hand of the higher G1 configurations, featuring three fingers, grip-force adjustment, and 33 tactile sensors (on tactile configurations). If you are planning research on grasping and manipulating objects from the start, it is efficient to include the Dex3-1 at the time of the initial order. This shortens the time required for procurement and integration compared with adding it later.
SPECS
Detailed Specifications
The 13 configurations broadly split into two lines: the Basic series and the higher (Edu) series. Because the price and feature differences are clear-cut, it is efficient to choose based on your use case. A simple guideline: choose Basic if the goal is to put it on show, and a higher configuration if the goal is hands-on research and development.
