Unitree G1 Specifications

Specifications can vary by G1 configuration and production revision. Unitree specifically notes that parameters may differ according to configuration and application.

Unitree G1 Degrees of Freedom

The standard G1 provides 23 joint degrees of freedom.

The G1 EDU can be configured with 23–43 joint motors, depending on options.

The humanoid architecture includes:

• 6 DoF per leg
• 1 DoF waist on the standard model
• 5 DoF per arm
• Optional additional waist joints
• Optional dexterous hands
• Optional additional wrist degrees of freedom

This large joint range allows G1 to perform highly flexible humanoid movements and provides an advanced platform for AI-based motion research.

Unitree G1 Dexterous Hands

The G1 platform can be equipped with force-controlled dexterous hands.

The optional Dex3-1 three-finger hand provides:

• 7 active degrees of freedom
• 3 active DoF in the thumb
• 2 active DoF in the index finger
• 2 active DoF in the middle finger
• Optional tactile sensor arrays

The hand uses force-position hybrid control to provide more precise manipulation of objects.

AI & Embodied Intelligence

Unitree G1 is designed for the rapidly developing field of embodied AI, where artificial intelligence interacts with the physical world through a robotic body.

G1 can serve as a physical platform for research into:

• Imitation learning
• Reinforcement learning
• Robot perception
• Motion generation
• Locomotion
• Manipulation
• Human-robot interaction
• Physical AI
• Robot world models

Unitree also promotes UnifoLM, its unified robot large-model technology, as part of its approach to intelligent robotic agents.

Sensors and Perception

Unitree G1 combines several sensing technologies to understand its environment.

Depth Camera

The depth camera provides spatial information for perception and interaction with the surrounding environment.

3D LiDAR

Integrated 3D LiDAR provides additional environmental perception and spatial information for navigation and robotics applications.

Microphone Array

The four-microphone array supports voice and audio-related interaction applications.

IMU and Joint Feedback

Joint encoders and internal sensors provide the feedback required for balance, movement and precise robot control.

Unitree G1 Connectivity
