Unitree has introduced the updated version of its G1 humanoid robot, now ready for mass production. The G1 robot is highly flexible, capable of performing complex movements like dancing, jumping, twisting, and even landing stunts without losing balance. It can navigate stairs, resist pushes, and detect obstacles using its cameras. The robot’s advanced flexibility is enabled by its 23 to 43 movable joint motors.
The G1 robot uses AI to imitate and learn human behaviors, allowing it to perform tasks such as hammering nails, cooking, and soldering without human supervision. Unitree has equipped the robot with its UnifoLM system, which helps it simulate human hand movements with precision.
The G1 can operate for about two hours on a single charge and features 3D LIDAR and depth cameras for 360-degree vision. It also includes a microphone with noise and echo cancellation, enabling clear communication with people.

The G1 robot is Bluetooth and WiFi-enabled and features an 8-core CPU for quick processing. It is priced at $16,000 per unit, which is not very expensive for a robot with such capabilities. No specific delivery dates have been announced yet.
