Strengths

  • Quadrupeds start around USD 1,500 (Go2)
  • G1 humanoid from USD 16K, lowest humanoid price on the market
  • H1 humanoid holds the fastest walking speed record at 3.3 m/s
  • Large developer ecosystem with free SDK

Typical products

  • Go2 quadruped (consumer / research)
  • B2 quadruped (industrial payload)
  • H1 humanoid (full bipedal, 1.8 m)
  • G1 humanoid (compact, 1.27 m, from USD 16K)

About Unitree

Unitree Robotics is headquartered in Hangzhou, China and was founded in 2016 by Wang Xingxing, a Shanghai University alumnus.

Main models

Quadrupeds (4-legged)

  • Go2, consumer/research platform, 7 kg payload, price from USD 1,500–5,000
  • B2, industrial platform, 120 kg payload, used for power-plant and pipeline inspection

Humanoids (bipedal)

  • H1, 1.80 m, 47 kg, walking speed 3.3 m/s (fastest in the market)
  • G1, 1.27 m, 35 kg, from USD 16K, the lowest-priced humanoid available today

Use cases

Unitree leads in applications where per-unit price matters more than top-tier payload:

  • Security and inspection, patrolling substations, pipelines, construction sites
  • Research and university, G1 is the default humanoid for robotics research labs
  • Entertainment and tech demos, the go-to platform for live product announcements

In Thailand

Still mostly pilot/research:

  • EECi and NSTDA use Go2 for inspection demos
  • PTT Group trialling B2 for pipeline inspection
  • Universities (Chulalongkorn, KMITL, Mahidol) use G1 for humanoid locomotion research

Availability

Order direct from Hangzhou or through Taiwan/Singapore resellers. Typical lead time 4–6 weeks.
