Overview

Huge community and lots of open RL code, and the Menagerie unitree_g1 model uses the same MuJoCo toolchain as Unitree's Go2 model. But the programmable EDU starts around $44k in the US, and the base model can't be programmed. The upgraded G1+ (September 2026, $15,000) adds a 2-DoF neck, stronger shoulder, waist and arm motors, binocular cameras and six microphones. As a new model it falls under the July 2026 FCC rule, and neither Unitree's US store nor RoboStore listed it as of October 2026.
