About the Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot
The most affordable production humanoid robot with full SDK access (EDU version). Approximately 5,000 units shipped in the first half of 2025, adopted by Amazon, Stanford, MIT, and UT Austin. The G1 has established itself as the research community's workhorse humanoid platform. Note: Basic model ($13,500) has no SDK — the EDU Standard at $43,500 is the true entry point for research.
