Unitree G1 , Price From Only $16.000

Unitree's G1 Humanoid Agent is a cutting-edge bipedal robot introduced by the Chinese robotics company Unitree. It’s designed for a range of tasks, from assembly line operations to research, showcasing impressive agility and flexibility. Priced at around $16,000, it offers a significantly lower entry point compared to other high-end robots like Boston Dynamics' Atlas.

The G1 is equipped with 360-degree joints that allow for impressive, human-like movement, such as running at speeds of up to 4.5 mph and contorting into various positions. It includes advanced features like 3D LiDAR, a depth camera for environmental mapping, and powerful hands capable of handling delicate and robust tasks. It has 23 to 43 degrees of freedom in its joints, a feature that contributes to its wide range of motion. Additionally, the robot runs on a high-performance 8-core CPU and offers around two hours of operation per charge. One of the unique aspects of the G1 is its ability to be compactly folded for transport​

The G1 also benefits from reinforcement learning and over-the-air updates, allowing it to improve its abilities over time. Although some functions are still under development, the G1 marks a significant step forward for humanoid robotics​.
