What Is the Unitree G1?

The Unitree G1 was designed from the ground up for mass production at a consumer-accessible price point. While the H1 targets enterprise and research institutions at roughly $90,000–$150,000, the G1 brings humanoid robotics within reach of universities, hobbyists, small labs, and robotics startups. In March 2026, Unitree open-sourced UnifoLM-VLA-0, a Vision-Language-Action model enabling the G1 to autonomously perform household tasks through natural language commands. Researchers also unveiled OmniXtreme, a control policy enabling the G1 to perform consecutive backflips and breakdancing. The company targets 20,000 humanoid shipments in 2026, up from 5,500 in 2025.
