Unitree G1 Edu Standard Humanoid Robot
Enterprise pricing, payment terms and bulk orders, talk to a robotics specialist.
The Unitree G1 Edu Standard is the research configuration of the world's most widely adopted humanoid platform. It unlocks what universities and R&D teams actually need: full SDK and secondary development access, NVIDIA Jetson Orin compute, and an expansion path from 23 up to 43 degrees of freedom with optional dexterous hands, wrist, and waist modules. If your lab is doing locomotion, manipulation, teleoperation, or embodied-AI research, this is the configuration built for it, at a fraction of the cost of any comparable research humanoid.
Key Highlights
- Full SDK and secondary development access (Edu-exclusive)
- NVIDIA Jetson Orin high-computing module
- 23-43 degrees of freedom: optional Dex3-1 force-controlled three-finger hands (7 DoF each), plus optional wrist (2 DoF) and waist (2 DoF) modules
- 3D LiDAR (LIVOX MID360) + Intel RealSense D435i depth camera standard
- Highly dynamic locomotion: walking, balancing, disturbance recovery
- Active open-source community and published research base

Watch Unitree's official introduction to the G1, the humanoid platform of embodied AI.
Martial-Arts Agile.
Trained at scale, the G1 delivers highly dynamic, martial-arts-grade movement: it walks, balances, and recovers from disturbances mid-stride with remarkable stability.
Full SDK. 43 Degrees of Freedom.
The Edu configuration unlocks full SDK and secondary development access, NVIDIA Jetson Orin compute, and an expansion path from 23 up to 43 degrees of freedom with optional dexterous hands, wrist, and waist modules.
Lifelike Motion.
The G1 moves with lifelike, highly dynamic motion, walking with a smooth human-like gait, balancing, and recovering from disturbances in real time.
Built for Research.
Built for university and R and D labs: full SDK with low-level control and ROS support, 3D LiDAR and depth camera standard, and an active open-source community for locomotion, manipulation, teleoperation, and embodied-AI research.

FAQs
What lead time should we plan for?
Lead times shift with configuration and factory availability. In-stock units ship promptly, while factory-configured builds take longer. We confirm the current lead time with your quote and keep your team updated through delivery.
What warranty coverage is included?
A 12-month manufacturer warranty comes with every unit, serviced through Unitree's authorized US distribution. Repairs happen in the US rather than overseas, and extended coverage is available when you request a quote.
Does your team accept purchase orders?
Yes. University, government, and enterprise procurement is our core workflow: formal quotes, vendor registration, W-9 documentation, and purchase orders for verified institutions, plus multi-unit lab pricing.
What development access does the G1 Edu Standard include?
This is the configuration built for development: full SDK with high-level and low-level control, ROS support, and NVIDIA Jetson Orin compute onboard. Secondary development access is exclusive to the Edu tier of the G1 line.
Can we operate it safely in a research lab?
Yes. The G1 Edu Standard is a research platform for operators 18 and up. Run it in a clear, dry indoor space and use protective support equipment during startup and early development while your team builds operating experience.
Why purchase through Global Drone HQ instead of importing?
Gray-market imports carry no US warranty support and often arrive without English documentation or firmware support. Our robots come through Unitree's authorized US distribution with US-based service, and we support your lab before and after the sale.
