G1
A 1.32 m, 35 kg research humanoid and the most widely sold humanoid in the world. It is the robot most labs buy to try humanoid control. Base units have no dexterous hands (the 7-DOF Dex3-1 hand is an EDU option), and it is not a household helper. Known Bluetooth and telemetry security problems are documented.

Trust and legalWhat these mean
Does a remote human drive it?
Partly
Ships with factory locomotion controllers and a remote. Useful task behavior comes from the buyer's own code or teleoperation; Unitree does not sell autonomous chores.
US FCC
Authorized
FCC ID 2A5PE-YUSHU008 (grantee Hangzhou Yushu Technology), reported granted 2025-03-03. Authorized before the 2026-07-28 Covered List action, so sales and use can continue.
Known security issues
UniPwn (Sept 2025): the BLE Wi-Fi setup accepts injected commands and every unit shares one hardcoded AES key, so anyone in Bluetooth range can get root. It can spread robot to robot (CVE-2025-35027, also affects Go2, H1 and B2). Alias Robotics researchers also reported the G1 sending telemetry to servers in China about every 5 minutes. The FCC's national-security determination cites UniPwn.
