Unitree Humanoid
Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot
A real walking humanoid that turns heads, starts conversations, and gives people something they actually film.
Beyond the specs
What you're really booking.
You're not paying for 41 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.

Flexibility Beyond Limits
The G1 moves with precision and fluidity, breaking human movement limits through 41 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.
Force-Controlled Locomotion
Dynamic jumping and precision landing with force-position hybrid control — pushing the boundaries of what humanoid locomotion can achieve.
Dexterous Hands — Real-World Tasks
5-finger dexterous hands perform precise manipulation tasks — mimicking human dexterity to handle objects with ease and reliability.
UnifoLM — Intelligence in Every Move
Unitree Unified Large Model unites collective intelligence, enabling the G1 to adapt to complex real-world tasks with remarkable autonomy.
Best uses
Where the Unitree G1 works best
Brand activations and product launches
Turn a launch into a crowd magnet. The Unitree G1 gives brands a focal point people gather around, photograph, and talk about.
Exhibitions and trade shows
If footfall matters, the Unitree 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
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 Unitree G1 delivers a premium "how is this real?" reaction.
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
Best practice for guest-facing events: add operator support or scope a custom interaction flow before the booking.

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 ZMP Robots, you book the experience, not the ownership burden.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where can I rent a Unitree G1 humanoid robot?
ZMP Robots rents the Unitree G1 across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Delivery and collection included in the daily rate. Online booking with instant confirmation.
How much does Unitree G1 rental cost?
From £159/day. Daily rates calculated live on the booking page. Minimum 3 days, maximum 30 days. Delivery and collection are always included.
Can I hire a Unitree G1?
"Hire" and "rent" mean the same thing in our service. The Unitree G1 is available to hire across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union through online booking — no quote forms, no sales calls.
Is the Unitree G1 for rent the same model on Unitree's website?
Yes. We rent the Unitree G1 EDU configuration with BrainCo five-finger dexterous hands, 41 DOF, NVIDIA Jetson Orin AI compute, and the full sensor suite. Same robot you've seen in viral videos.
Can the Unitree G1 talk to guests?
Yes. The G1 robot can be set up for spoken greetings, scripted lines, and guided interaction. For event-ready AI demos, we scope the experience before the booking.
Can I rent a G1 robot for a single day?
Our minimum rental is 3 days. The 3-day minimum exists because day-of delivery, setup, performance, and collection benefit from a short buffer. Rent the G1 robot from 3 to 30 days.
Can it answer questions with AI?
It can support AI-style demos and custom interaction setups. Reliable event-ready behavior depends on preparation and configuration before the booking — talk to us early if AI interaction is core to your event.
Can it work completely by itself?
For live events, supervised use is the right expectation. The Unitree G1 supports custom behaviors but is not an unattended general-purpose worker.
Do I need robotics knowledge to rent a Unitree G1?
No. Most customers don't have a robotics background. We built the platform for easy access, not robotics specialists only. If you want hands-on guidance, add Certified Operator Setup (£79 one-time) at checkout.
Can ZMP Robots prepare custom behavior for our event?
Yes. We can scope custom interaction, movement, and demo behavior for the right projects. Speak to us through the contact form before booking so we can plan it properly.
What happens if the Unitree G1 is damaged at my event?
Every booking includes ZMP Protection — accidental damage during approved use is capped at the Refundable Deposit. Want zero out-of-pocket? Add ZMP Protection+ at checkout (15% of daily rate) and the Refundable Deposit is returned in full on clean return.
Is delivery and collection included for Unitree G1 rental?
Yes. Delivery and collection are included with every Unitree G1 rental, on weekdays only — not weekends or public holidays. Service covers all served regions with no distance surcharges.
