Industrial Applications
Editorial assessment: Compact biped for locomotion and manipulation research. Base retail G1 excludes secondary development; EDU options change joints, hands and compute. Its published payload is arm- and posture-specific. Engineering evaluation should use the purchased configuration rather than demonstration videos.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
23-joint base; EDU options reach 43 joints. Maximum arm load is posture-dependent: about 2 kg base, 3 kg EDU.
Depth camera and 3D LiDAR; voice microphone array.
SDK and Integration
Development access varies by edition. Public Unitree repositories do not grant development rights to base retail models.
| API type | SDK and open-source examples |
|---|---|
| Languages | C++, Python |
| ROS support | Official ROS 2 repository includes model examples; match firmware and joint configuration. |
| Simulation | MuJoCo via unitree_mujoco, Gazebo via unitree_ros, Reinforcement learning via unitree_rl_gym, Imitation learning via unitree_IL_lerobot |
| Offline operation | Local DDS control examples exist; complete offline application behavior unverified. |
| Teleoperation | SDK-based developer workflows; exact supported hardware and access need confirmation. |
| Software updates | Manufacturer OTA updates; signing and rollback details not reviewed. |
| Documentation | Open documentation |
| Code examples | Open repository |
| Integration constraints | Treat as a developer platform. Production-cell integration requires local safety engineering, PLC/safety-controller integration, guarded areas, validation of stop functions and network isolation. |
Safety Notes
Supplier warns that humanoid robots have complex structures and powerful output and that users should keep a sufficient safety distance. Use barriers, exclusion zones, emergency stop validation and formal risk assessment.
Compliance and Certificates
| Standard | Status | Jurisdiction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking | Unknown | European Union | No public product-specific CE certificate was verified on the official product page. Buyer should request declaration of conformity and technical documentation for the exact shipped configuration. |
| ISO 10218 | Requires buyer review | International | No verified industrial robot safety certificate captured. Complete workcell must be assessed by qualified integrator. |
| ISO/TS 15066 | Requires buyer review | International | Required only for collaborative applications. Do not assume safe human-robot collaboration without validated force, speed, separation and stopping behavior. |
| Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC | Requires buyer review | European Union | Factory deployment requires machine risk assessment and integration review. |
| Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 | Requires buyer review | European Union | Relevant for products placed on the EU market from 20 January 2027. |
