Unitree G1-D

The Unitree G1-D is a wheeled-base humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics (Hangzhou, China) featuring a mobile lifting column design with 19 DOF (excluding end-effector), a 0–2m vertical workspace, and in-house actuators/sensors. It is commercially available in multiple configurations ranging from a basic ~$16,000 RC-controlled variant (no SDK, limited DOF) up to ~$73,900 for fully-featured EDU Ultimate tiers with NVIDIA Jetson Orin, LiDAR, and full SDK access. The G1-D variant specifically emphasizes a unified data pipeline platform for teleoperation-based data collection, model training, and deployment — positioning it as a data-gathering and AI development tool rather than a fully autonomous task executor. Independent community sources confirm the base model is essentially a teleoperated device, while higher EDU tiers support autonomous/RL-based operation with secondary development; safety concerns about collaborative use have been raised.
