How much does the G1+ cost and when will it ship?

The price and delivery time differ depending on the configuration and use, so they are quoted individually. No fixed figures were given.

What has been improved over the base G1?

The G1+ adds a neck that moves up/down and left/right, bringing total degrees of freedom from 23 to 25, and raises shoulder and hip motor peak torque to 2.1× and arm motors to 1.4×. Arm payload goes from about 2kg to about 3kg, and the G1+ EDU version handles 4kg.

What sensors and interaction features does it have?

It combines dual eye cameras on the head, a wide-angle chest camera and 3D LiDAR. For interaction it has a 6-microphone array that can estimate sound direction, two 10W speakers and a touch sensor on the head.

3 Key Points

What happened
On 10月13日, GMO AI＆ロボティクス商事 began domestic handling and pre-orders in Japan for Unitree Robotics' humanoid G1+. It is based on the G1 (about 134cm tall, about 35kg) and strengthens motion, sensing and dialogue.
Why it matters
The G1+ adds a neck that moves up/down and left/right, raising total degrees of freedom from the G1's 23 to 25, and boosts shoulder and hip motor peak torque to 2.1× and arm motors to 1.4× the previous levels.

WHO IT HITSJapanese businesses evaluating service and reception robots — for example retail, hospitality and facility operators looking at customer-facing interaction — now have a domestic pre-order route for the G1+ through GMO AI＆ロボティクス商事.

Context & Analysis

The G1+ is not a new platform but a refresh of Unitree Robotics' G1, and the changes listed by GMO AI＆ロボティクス商事 focus on areas that matter for customer-facing work. A neck that moves up, down, left and right lifts the total degrees of freedom from 23 to 25, while shoulder and hip motor peak torque rises to 2.1× and arm motor output to 1.4×. Arm payload increases from about 2kg to about 3kg, and the G1+ EDU version is rated at 4kg.

For sensing and interaction, the robot pairs dual eye cameras on the head, a wide-angle chest camera and 3D LiDAR to capture surroundings and objects from multiple angles. It also carries a 6-microphone array that can estimate the direction of sound, two 10W speakers and a head touch sensor, pointing toward reception and dialogue use.

On power, the G1+ runs for about two hours on a swappable battery and can also draw power from an external source. Because price and delivery depend on configuration and application, GMO AI＆ロボティクス商事 says it will quote those individually, so the practical cost for any given deployment is not yet publicly fixed.
