Agile Running Robot
January 17, 2025
The Unitree G1 humanoid robot, developed by Unitree Robotics, is making waves in the field of robotics with its impressive capabilities and advanced technology. Standing at approximately 4.3 feet (1.32 meters) tall and weighing around 77 pounds (35 kg), the G1 is designed to be both compact and highly functional. Its running capabilities are impressive with a remarkable running speed of up to 4.5 mph (2m/s). This is achieved through its advanced balance and navigation systems, which allow it to traverse various terrains and obstacles autonomously. The G1's flexibility is evident in its 23 to 43 degrees of freedom, depending on the model, allowing for a wide range of motion and task performance.
The G1 boasts impressive mobility, with the ability to travel at speeds up to 4.5 mph (7.2 km/h). Its foldable design allows for easy storage and transportation, making it remarkably portable for a humanoid robot of its capabilities. When folded, the robot’s dimensions reduce to 27.2 x 17.7 x 11.8 inches (690 x 450 x 300 mm), ensuring it can be easily transported and stored.
Equipped with an 8-core high-performance CPU, the G1 can process complex commands and perform tasks efficiently. Its sensory suite includes an Intel RealSense D435 front camera and a LIVOX-MID360 LIDAR, providing advanced environmental perception capabilities. The G1’s hands are particularly noteworthy, featuring three-fingered dexterous grippers with force-position hybrid control, allowing for precise object manipulation.
The G1’s power management is another strong point, with a 9000mAh battery providing up to 2 hours of continuous operation. The battery is designed for quick swapping, ensuring minimal downtime during extended use. The G1 is positioned as an accessible platform for robotics research and development, with a base price of around $16,000. Its potential applications are diverse, ranging from academic research to industrial tasks.
