$16,000CommercialA compact, foldable humanoid robot for research, industrial, and development tasks.
Unitree’s G1 is the company’s compact bipedal humanoid, positioned as a research and development platform. It is first shown publicly on May 13, 2024 during ICRA in Yokohama, with Unitree promoting a base price around $16,000 and describing the robot as a general‑purpose “humanoid agent.” (prnewswire.com)
Through late 2024 and 2025, G1 appears at major showcases and in controlled technical demos. Unitree brings G1 to the World Robot Conference in Beijing on August 21, 2024. In 2025, the company releases footage of G1 executing a kip‑up (March 21) and stages a head‑to‑head G1 boxing match dubbed “Iron Fist” (May 27). By December 2025, synchronized front‑flip demos and other athletic clips go viral, with SCMP noting additional competition results from August 2025. (unitree.com)
In 2026, G1 is shown in boxing demos at CES in Las Vegas, then features prominently at CMG’s Spring Festival Gala in mid‑February in what Unitree calls the first fully autonomous humanoid martial‑arts cluster performance. Around the same time, Unitree says it begins deploying G1 units on active factory assembly lines to build motor components, framing this as a shift from demonstrations to production work. (chip.pl)
