Until now, humanoid robotics has mostly belonged to the world of futuristic ideas and experimental laboratories, but now it has reached a new milestone. Unitree Robotics’ latest development, the Unitree G1, is now available on the Hungarian market and is clearly opening a new era in the widespread use of humanoid robots.
The Unitree G1 is not just a concept or a unique prototype, but a robot that has been mass-produced and is available for anyone to buy. This technological leap opens up the possibility for humanoid robots to become real industrial and commercial players, moving beyond the experimental stage. According to Index, this robot is not just an evolution of existing humanoid technologies but represents a whole new level of mobility, sensing capabilities and autonomous operation. It can navigate its environment in a way that is very similar to human movement, while also featuring advanced artificial intelligence that allows it to continuously analyse its environment and perform tasks autonomously.
The Unitree G1 technology
According to INFUZE Robotics’s website, one of the key benefits of the G1 is its extreme mobility. It is able to move between complex obstacles, move steadily over uneven or slippery surfaces, and even run. But its arms and legs, like human limbs, can do even more: their range of motion is beyond human capabilities, allowing it to perform tasks that would be physically impossible for a human to perform. It is also equipped with advanced sensor technology, including 3D LiDAR and a depth camera. These tools enable it to accurately map and analyse its environment, which is essential for industrial, research and service applications.
Artificial intelligence affects not only the sensing and navigation capabilities but also the robot’s learning mechanism. G1 is constantly evolving with AI-based imitation and reinforcement learning methods, so it can adapt to different challenges more and more efficiently. Force sensors in its arms enable precision movements and fine manipulation, meaning it can perform complex operations that require the dexterity of human hands. Its hands are available in different configurations, either in three or five-finger versions, depending on the task you want to use it for.
Possibilities for practical application
The Unitree G1 can be revolutionary in many areas. In the field of industrial automation, it can perform a variety of manufacturing and logistics tasks, increasing productivity and reducing the workload on human labour. By automating repetitive tasks requiring precise movements, such as assembly or material handling, factories can significantly increase efficiency. It can also play a prominent role in the service sector, with its interactive and adaptive capabilities for customer service, hospitality and other assistant tasks. Thanks to its humanoid form, it can interact with people in a natural way, which can be particularly useful in places where personal interaction is essential.
It also has great potential for research and education, as Unitree G1 provides the perfect platform for robotics and AI-based research. As a system for testing and developing advanced machine learning algorithms, it can help universities and technology centres to create innovations in robotics. The potential for AI-based decision-making and autonomous operation makes it extremely exciting for researchers working on the next stage in the development of humanoid robots.
The Unitree G1 is priced at HUF 12 million (EUR 29,461), which may seem like a lot, but considering its capabilities, it is competitive in the market. As well as being available for purchase, the robot can also be rented, which is an excellent alternative for those who want to test the technology in the short term or plan to use it for temporary projects.
The launch of Unitree G1 is not just another step in the evolution of humanoid robots, but an event that could shape the labour market and technological innovation in the long term. With its outstanding mobility, advanced sensors and artificial intelligence, the robot can already be applied in a wide range of fields and is expected to play an increasing role in industry, research and services. The fact that such an advanced humanoid robot is now available not only in laboratories but also on the market shows that the future is here. For those who want to keep up with technological advances in time, Unitree G1 could be one of the most interesting and promising options.
