Unitree G1

Legged · Humanoid
Legged humanoid
Not gatedStatic check: UNSTABLE — tip margin 3°

A 1.32 m humanoid with 29 powered joints, a depth camera and a 3D LiDAR in its head — the Robodex's first biped, and the biggest robot in it. Unitree publishes its dimensions and equipment; the mass breakdown here is grouped out of the official model files.

Spec

Battery13-string lithium, 9000 mAh — 46.8 V nominal (54 V charger per the table)
Height (standing)1320 mm; 450 mm wide, 200 mm deep (Unitree parameter table)
Joints29 actuated joints — counted from the revolute joints in the official g1_29dof URDF
SensorsDepth camera, 3D LiDAR (Unitree parameter table; both appear as links in the URDF)
Weight~35 kg with battery (Unitree parameter table)
WiringNot documented publicly — no wiring block is shown for this robot
Source: unitree_ros — g1_29dof URDF + Unitree G1 published parameters · linkLicense: BSD-3-Clause (unitreerobotics/unitree_ros)Spec file: examples/unitree-g1.jsonDimensions, weight, battery and sensors from Unitree's published G1 parameter table (the table lists total DOF options up to 43 with optional arms; the base 29-DOF configuration is what the official g1_29dof URDF models). The URDF's 36 link masses sum to 35.115 kg, grouped in the spec as trunk 12.669 / legs 14.372 / arms 7.038 / head 1.036 kg — within half a percent of the published ~35 kg. Battery voltage 46.8 V is the 13-string nominal (the table's '13-string lithium battery' and 54 V charger imply it). The internal wiring harness is not publicly documented, so this spec carries no wiring block.

Gate runs

The motion gate covers ground robots today. This class has no gate yet, so there is no verdict to show — the note below says why, in the entry's own words.

No recorded gate runs yet. This robot has no verdict until one is measured.

Not gated. The motion gate drives ground robots on wheels and grades drive/turn error; a walking gate for legged robots does not exist yet, so this entry carries no verdict — its spec is validated, and that is all that is claimed.

Static stability check

A computation from this robot's spec — support-polygon statics, not a simulation run and not a gate verdict. It grades how far the robot can tip before its centre of mass passes over its feet. The gate status above is unchanged by it: this robot is still not gated.

Static check: UNSTABLE — tip margin 3°
GradeUNSTABLE
Static tip-over angle (weakest direction)2.7° — backward
Weakest tip margin34 mm from the centre-of-mass projection to the support-polygon edge

How it was computed

Support-polygon statics from the spec's declared dimensions: convex hull of the foot contacts, weakest-direction distance from the centre-of-mass projection to a polygon edge, tip-over angle atan(margin / CoM height). No simulation, no motion — a computation, not a gate run.

Support model: Two feet in double support, each a rectangle 0.152 × 0.066 m (length 0.115 × standing height, width 0.05 × height), centred 0.032 × height ahead of the ankle line at ±0.22 × body width — the take-apart viewer's proportions; the spec publishes no foot dimensions.

DirectionMarginTip angle
to the right132 mm10.3°
forward118 mm9.2°
to the left132 mm10.3°
backward34 mm2.7°

Assumptions (all of them, as printed in the report):

  • Foot size is derived from standing height with the viewer's proportions; it is not a published dimension.
  • Double support: both feet flat on the ground. A humanoid in single support, or mid-step, is a dynamics problem this check does not model.
  • Centre of mass sits horizontally at the centre of the body footprint.
  • CoM height is ASSUMED at 55% of standing height — the spec declares no CoM height.
  • Flat, level ground; rigid body; no payload.

Take it apart

This viewer derives a schematic take-apart straight from the spec's numbers — the same one-derivation rule as the ground kits — flat views, or in 3D with the toggle. It is a schematic of the real robot's layout, not a printable kit: robotforge cad kits cover ground robots only today. Click any part.
