The base model has 23 degrees of freedom; the EDU version can reach 43.

The G1's listed sensing includes a 3D LiDAR and a depth camera, plus a 4-microphone array. The base model has an 8-core CPU, while the EDU adds optional high-power compute modules and secondary development. Unitree also publishes a unitree_rl_gym repository on GitHub.

Unitree quotes about 2 hours of runtime per charge with a quick-release 9000 mAh smart battery, and about 1.5 hours for a full charge. The base G1 is listed on Unitree's shop at US$13,500 before tax and shipping, and it was shown as backordered when checked. The EDU is sold through sales contact only, and the booking page directs education, research and industrial buyers to the sales team. Walmart's US site listed the G1 at US$21,600 in October 2025.

Evaluation footprint

Benchmarks & competitions

Combat performance of humanoid robots in contact bouts, with an emphasis on self-balancing and controllability in human-machine collaboration.

Listed benchmark embodiment Β· Four teams used Unitree G1 humanoids (1.32 m, 35 kg per the Hangzhou government article).

Open-world humanoid manipulation across dexterous object manipulation, human-humanoid interaction and loco-manipulation. The dataset is a training resource; the planned cloud evaluation would score deployed policies on real humanoids.

Listed benchmark embodiment Β· Collected on two Unitree humanoids: the G1 (29 DoF, with 7-DoF three-finger Dex3-1 hands with tactile sensing) and the H1 (27 DoF, with 6-DoF Inspire hands). Both carry Intel RealSense RGB-D cameras and a Livox LiDAR, according to the paper.

HumanoidBenchSimulation

Whether a learning method can control a high-dimensional humanoid to walk, run, stand, balance and climb stairs, and to carry out whole-body manipulation such as pushing, opening doors and cabinets, and moving packages. Performance is reported as episode return per task.

Listed benchmark embodiment Β· Primary robot: simulated Unitree H1 with two Shadow Dexterous Hands on the arms. The repository also supports the Unitree G1 with three-finger hands and a low-dimensional-hand H1 variant. The paper also lists the Agility Digit as a supported body; it is not linked here.

LocoMuJoCoSimulation

How well imitation-learning methods reproduce agile locomotion from motion-capture references, scored with handcrafted, task-specific metrics. The repository's documentation names trajectory comparison metrics such as dynamic time warping and FrΓ©chet distance.

Listed benchmark embodiment Β· The README names Unitree H1 ('UnitreeH1') and Unitree G1 ('MjxUnitreeG1') among its humanoid environments. Quadruped and biomechanical models (MyoSkeleton) are also included. Other humanoids, such as Atlas and Talos, are not named in the sources opened.

ManiSkill3Simulation

Generalizable manipulation and locomotion skills in a fast, GPU-parallel simulator, with task success measured per environment. The paper emphasizes simulation throughput alongside task performance.

Listed benchmark embodiment Β· The ManiSkill documentation lists Unitree G1 and H1 models (including simplified leg and upper-body variants) among supported robots. Most listed robots are arms and mobile manipulators. Which tasks use the humanoid models was not confirmed.

SkillBenchSimulation

Task accuracy and motion feasibility for whole-body loco-manipulation, such as reaching, pressing buttons, pushing boxes, carrying packages and shooting a ball, across humanoid bodies. The paper also argues that its method avoids reward hacking.

Listed benchmark embodiment Β· Three Unitree humanoids: H1, G1 and H1-2, mapped to the roster slugs unitree-h1, unitree-g1 and unitree-h1-2. Degrees of freedom for each embodiment are not given on the project page or in the abstract.
