Unitree G1 passport
What the record supports
The editorial judgement that follows from this record, and the questions a buyer evaluating Unitree G1 tends to ask next.
Decision
No editorial verdict is published for this record yet.
Best for
Not yet established
Biggest catch
No principal limitation documented yet
This is an editorial judgement about fit, not a rating. Evidence Grade measures how far public proof extends and Commercial Readiness describes market state; both are reported on the opening of this Passport and RBG never combines them into a single score.
Buyer questions, answered from the record
Short answers drawn only from what this Passport already records. Where nothing is recorded, that is what it says.
- What is Unitree G1?
Unitree G1 is a humanoid robot on record. Manufacturer list $13,500, observed Aug 22, 2026. Evidence C · Claim / demo. Built by Unitree Robotics and recorded under Humanoid as a humanoid robot.
- Can you buy it now?
RBG commercial state — not a stock or country availability claim
Recorded commercial state is Limited availability, with a product status of Shipping. Where you can order it, and on what terms locally, is not recorded on this Passport.
- What does it cost?
Manufacturer claim · observed Aug 22, 2026
$13,500.00 USD, as observed on the date above. Nothing beyond that observation is recorded, so treat it as a dated data point rather than a current quote.
- What can it actually do?
No public evidence recorded.
- When was this Passport last verified?
Last verified . Facts above reflect the record as of that date.

RBG-derived visualization · schema humanoid-v1 · fixed measurement domains · 5 of 6 axes recorded · magnitude only, never quality — the enclosed area has no meaning
Axes are recorded measurements on fixed engineering domains. A larger reading is not a better machine, and an unrecorded axis breaks the trace rather than closing it through a fabricated zero.
Undisclosed axes are omitted, never estimated.

Evidence reality
Evidence Grade measures the strength of public proof. It is not a quality rating and it is not the same as commercial readiness. Stages without recorded evidence are shown as unknown, not as failure.
Last verified Aug 22, 2026
Evidence grade
Claim / demo
Manufacturer demonstration or claim with limited deployment proof.
Strongest supported evidence
Manufacturer claim
No public evidence recorded beyond this stage — demonstrated capability, paid pilot / deployment, scaled deployment, independent test remain unknown rather than disproven.

Commercial readiness — separate axis
Market and deployment state. It describes how you can obtain the robot, not how well proven it is.
- 01Prototype
- 02Announced
- 03Pilot
- 04Limited availability
- 05Commercially available
- 06Scaled deployment
Read together: limited availability on the market axis, manufacturer claim as the strongest recorded proof. The two axes are reported separately and never combined.

Economics and cost of ownership
Only dated, sourced price observations are printed. RBG publishes no modelled total cost of ownership, because the inputs are not public.

What you still need to know
The unresolved facts that would change a decision about Unitree G1, each with the reason it matters and the verification that closes it. An unknown is a gap in public evidence — never a zero, a failure or a low score.
- 01
Which configuration and market the recorded price actually covers
Configuration required(typed record state: CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED)
The observed figure is a single dated data point. Options, spares and regional pricing are not part of it, so it is not a budget.
Verify next · Ask for a written quote naming the exact configuration and delivery market.
- 02
Whether the machine has been deployed in paid work
No public evidence(typed record state: NO_PUBLIC_EVIDENCE)
Absence of deployment evidence is not evidence of failure, but it means nobody's operational experience can be inspected before you commit.
Verify next · Ask the manufacturer for a reference site running your workflow.
- 03
Whether any independent party has tested the claims
No public evidence(typed record state: NO_PUBLIC_EVIDENCE)
Every recorded claim traces back to the manufacturer, so performance figures are unaudited.
Verify next · Require a witnessed trial against your own acceptance criteria.
- 04
Whether the machine is rated for outdoor operation
Unknown(typed record state: UNKNOWN)
An unrated environment is not a permitted environment, so any external part of the route is unevaluated.
Verify next · Request the environmental rating the manufacturer will warrant.
- 05
Ingress protection rating
Not disclosed(typed record state: NOT_DISCLOSED)
Dust and washdown exposure cannot be assessed, which matters for food, agriculture and heavy-industrial sites.
Verify next · Ask for the IP rating and the conditions it was certified under.
- 06
Service, spares and support terms
Unknown(typed record state: UNKNOWN)
Support response, spares lead time and repair cost are the largest uncontrolled variables in a first deployment, and none of them are public.
Verify next · Request the service agreement and spares price list before shortlisting.
- 07
Which hardware generation is currently shipping
Unknown(typed record state: UNKNOWN)
Evidence recorded against an earlier build may not describe the unit you would receive.
Verify next · Confirm the build revision the quote covers.
These are the unresolved facts that would change a decision, not every empty field on the record. An unknown here means RBG has not established the fact — it does not mean the machine performs badly, and it is never counted as a zero anywhere on this Passport.
Unknown never means zero, false, or poor performance.
