Unitree Humanoid
Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot
A real walking humanoid that turns heads, starts conversations, and gives people something they actually film.
Why people book it
What you're really paying for
You're not paying for 43 degrees of freedom. You're paying for the moment a room stops scrolling.
- a booth people stop at instead of walking past
- a launch that feels bigger than the room
- a video that gets shared before the event is even over
- guests pulling out their phones the second the robot starts moving
- a premium tech moment without buying a robot outright
The G1 gives you that moment. We handle the logistics — you show up and run the show.

Best uses
Where the G1 works best
Brand activations and product launches
Turn a launch into a crowd magnet. The G1 gives brands a focal point people gather around, photograph, and talk about.
Exhibitions and trade shows
If footfall matters, the G1 helps pull attention from the aisle to your stand fast.
Retail and hospitality moments
Use it to create a premium in-store moment, a hotel lobby spectacle, or a conversation-starting guest experience.
Content creation and filming
Perfect for TikTok, Reels, YouTube, campaigns, launch films, and futuristic visual content that needs a real-world hook.
Universities, schools, and robotics showcases
The G1 is a strong fit for technical demonstrations, STEM events, innovation weeks, and education-led showcases.
Private events and VIP experiences
For parties, luxury events, and high-end private bookings, the G1 delivers a premium "how is this real?" reaction.

Flexibility Beyond Limits
The G1 moves with precision and fluidity, breaking human movement limits through 43 degrees of freedom and high-precision joint motors.
AI-Powered Agility
Driven by imitation and reinforcement learning, the G1 executes rapid, reactive movements — growing smarter with every interaction.
Self-Recovery
The G1 autonomously recovers from any position — lying flat to fully upright without human assistance, ready to perform again instantly.
Honest capabilities
What this robot can actually do
The G1 is best when used as a live experience robot, not a fantasy robot butler.
Built for live, visible moments
- walk, pose, wave, and perform scripted motion sequences
- create a strong visual centerpiece for events and launches
- interact with guests through pre-prepared voice lines and guided experiences
- support branded demos, premium showcases, and AI-themed activations
- act as a high-impact prop for content production and filming
- support operator-led demonstrations and custom-programmed experiences
Not a general-purpose assistant
- it is not a plug-and-play home cleaning robot
- it is not a fully autonomous employee out of the box
- it is not designed for unsupervised operation in busy public spaces
- it should not be marketed as a general-purpose household assistant
That honesty matters. The G1 is impressive because it creates a real reaction in real spaces, not because it pretends to be something it is not.
Interaction & operation
How the G1 works at your event
Two questions we hear the most: can it interact with guests, and do you have to program it yourself. Here are the honest answers.
Ready-to-run modes
- remote control
- preset motion sequences
- guided demonstrations
- supervised event use
Prepared for your event
- spoken greetings and branded voice lines
- scripted dialogue and guided interaction
- AI-themed demonstrations
- custom movement and showcase behavior
Can it talk to guests?
Yes. Microphones, speaker, and EDU-model development support.
Can it run an AI experience out of the box?
Not reliably without preparation. For event-ready AI demos, we scope the experience before the booking.
Do I need to program it myself?
No. Most customers don't. If you just want the robot for an event, shoot, or activation, you don't need robotics knowledge.
Can ZMProbots prepare the experience for us?
Yes, for the right project. Speak to us early so we can scope it properly.
Best practice for guest-facing events: add operator support.
Hand comparison
3-finger vs 5-finger: what is the difference?
This matters less for engineering buyers than for experience buyers.
Value-conscious premium
- strong visual hand movement
- expressive gestures
- tactile sensing with a more value-conscious premium setup
- a powerful demo without paying for the most human-like hand look
Most human-like premium

- a more refined premium presentation
- the highest-end visual impression
- the most polished "this feels real" effect in photos and video
Choose U4 if you want the stronger value premium option. Choose U6 if you want the most premium overall look and hand presentation.

Rent vs buy
Why rent instead of buy?
Because most clients do not need to own a humanoid robot.
The outcome, not the asset
- the moment
- the attention
- the content
- the footfall
- the launch impact
The ownership burden
- a huge purchase cost
- storage headaches
- maintenance responsibility
- setup complexity
- waiting on sales teams and quote chains
With ZMProbots, you book the experience, not the ownership burden.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the G1 talk to guests?
Yes. It can be set up for spoken greetings, scripted lines, and guided interaction.
Can it answer questions with AI?
It can support AI-style demos and custom interaction setups, but reliable event-ready behavior depends on preparation and configuration before the booking.
Can it work completely by itself?
For live events, supervised use is the right expectation. Custom behaviors are possible, but this is not an unattended general-purpose worker.
Do I need robotics knowledge to rent it?
No. Most customers do not. We built the platform for easy access, not robotics specialists only.
Can ZMProbots prepare custom behavior for our event?
Yes. We can scope custom interaction, movement, and demo behavior for the right projects.
What is the difference between U4 and U6?
U4 gives you tactile 3-finger hands and a stronger-value premium setup. U6 gives you tactile 5-finger hands and the most premium, most human-like hand presentation in the G1 lineup.
What can the G1 actually do at an event?
It is best for walking presence, posing, scripted interaction, guided demos, content moments, and premium guest engagement.
What can it not do?
It is not a turnkey cleaning robot, not a fully autonomous employee, and not intended for unsupervised general public operation.
Is it safe in public?
Yes, when used properly in a managed environment. For busy public settings, operator-supported use is recommended.
Is delivery and collection included?
Yes. Free delivery and collection are included with the rental.
