TREE NEWS update: Unitree Robotics announced today that its G1 humanoid robot has been fully upgraded with the launch of the G1+. The G1+ brings six improvements across motion performance, perception and interaction, and intelligent experience, strengthening neck flexibility, joint motor output and thermal management, visual and tactile sensing, battery life and far-field voice interaction while keeping the G1’s cost-performance positioning. The standard G1+ is priced at 95,000 yuan including tax; pricing for the G1+EDU, aimed at research and deep development, has not been disclosed.
Unitree Upgrades G1 Humanoid Robot, Launches G1+ From 95,000 Yuan
Unitree is iterating on a low-cost humanoid platform rather than chasing a flagship, which matters because affordability, not peak capability, has been the main brake on real-world deployment. The split between a standard G1+ and an undisclosed-price EDU variant signals a two-track strategy: volume sales to general users and deeper, higher-margin engagement with research labs. The open question is whether these incremental gains in dexterity, sensing and battery life are enough to move humanoids from demo to daily use.
