| Out of the box | Walks, balances, gets up after falls, and runs soccer demos (RoboCup 2025 champion platform); app and Bluetooth teleop work day one. Real tasks require development; it is explicitly made for developers. | 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 | Full open-source SDK, ROS2 Humble, Booster Studio tooling, and sim support (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Webots). No EDU/retail SDK lock. | Hard-locked: no SDK, no API, no way to run custom code. Development requires the separate G1 EDU line. |
| Best for | University teams and developers who want an open, competition-proven mid-size platform with EU-friendly logistics. | Buyers who want an impressive, reliable walking humanoid for demos, events, and showrooms. |
