3. The Unitree G1 versions
The G1 is not a single product: the version defines what the robot can do, whether it can be programmed, and how long the warranty lasts. Choosing the right version is the most important decision of the purchase.
| Version | What's included | In-house development | Warranty | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 Basic | 23 degrees of freedom, 3D LiDAR and depth camera, remote control, about 2 hours of battery | No | 8 months | Simple remote-control demonstrations |
| G1 Pro | 29 degrees of freedom (3-axis waist and 7-axis arms), more torque and payload, 10+ routines (dance, kung fu, interaction) and a compute module with built-in navigation | No | 12 months | Brand activations, trade shows, launches and showrooms |
| G1 EDU | Standard (23 degrees of freedom) and Plus (29) versions, with high- and low-level development kit, manuals and technical support | Yes | 18 months | Universities, labs and in-house integrations |
| G1 EDU with hands | Dexterous hands with three or five fingers, with or without tactile sensors, and a wrist camera | Yes | 18 months | Object manipulation and advanced research |
| G1 EDU with reception package | Autonomous navigation, facial-recognition greeting, point-by-point explanations along the route and AI conversation in Spanish; requires Wi-Fi or 5G on site | Yes | 12 to 18 months | Showrooms, museums and visitor reception |
The Basic and Pro versions do not support in-house development: if the robot needs to converse in Spanish, guide visits or connect to your systems, you need an EDU version. Prices depend on configuration and are provided in the quote.
