Buying is a long-term robotics project
Buying a Unitree G1 is not just a purchase decision. It means freight, storage, setup, software, operator training, risk management, maintenance, and learning what the robot can do safely in public.
When hiring is better
Hiring is usually the better option when the requirement is short-term and public-facing.
- One-off events and conferences
- Trade shows and launches
- Filming days and creator shoots
- Executive, investor, and stakeholder demos
When buying may fit
Buying can make sense for research labs, robotics teams, universities, or companies that need daily access to the platform. For public events, a managed hire package is usually faster and safer.
