Start with the exact configuration
Unitree lists the base G1 from USD 13,500 excluding taxes and shipping. The EDU version and accessories have separate terms. A headline price alone does not show whether the robot can perform the intended task.
Include commissioning and daily operation
Budget for transport, site preparation, software configuration, training, parts and support. Demonstrations also need an operator and event logistics. Research projects must account for developer time.
Are you buying a device or a complete service?
Hiring a demonstration and buying a research platform are different products. Before comparing offers, write down the outcome, working hours, equipment and supplier responsibilities.
How to prepare an enquiry
Specify the task, surroundings, timing, expected autonomy and intended use. Request separate equipment, deployment and maintenance costs. Confirm the final price for the market and configuration.
