G1 comparison
Unitree G1 Basic vs EDU: what event organisers need to know

For events, the difference shows up in what guests can actually see. More degrees of freedom, better hand options, teleoperation support, and custom programming make the EDU configuration better suited to interaction-heavy briefs.
- G1 Basic: lighter demonstration platform
- G1 EDU: stronger for interaction, teaching, and custom workflows
- G1 Basic: simpler movement and display use cases
- G1 EDU: hand, teleoperation, and development-oriented use cases
Which model should you hire?
If you need a humanoid to stand, walk, and create a quick visual moment, Basic can be enough. If you want guests to shake hands, film the robot presenting a product, watch a live operator-controlled demo, or ask technical questions, EDU is the better fit.
Questions to ask any provider
Ask which G1 model is included, whether dexterous hands are installed, whether teleoperation is available, how custom workflows are built, what the robot can do safely in public, and what is included in the operator fee.
