| Out of the box | Day one: voice conversation and a small set of autonomous basics 1X names (opening doors, fetching items, turning off lights). Everything else is human-in-the-loop: you pilot it via app/VR, or schedule a 1X Expert to teleoperate it through chores while collecting training data. | Genuinely usable day one as a remote-controlled demo robot: preloaded walking on slopes and steps, gestures, self-righting, and LiDAR obstacle avoidance from the included gamepad. No task autonomy, no voice assistant, and no programming possible. |
| Development access | Closed consumer stack (Redwood AI). No published SDK, API, or ROS support. Control is the consumer app and VR teleop. | Hard-locked: no SDK, no API, no way to run custom code. Development requires the separate G1 EDU line. |
| Best for | US early adopters who want a home humanoid now and accept teleoperation and a data-collection role. | Buyers who want an impressive, reliable walking humanoid for demos, events, and showrooms. |
