BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Read the small print.
It changes the picture.
- Confirm hands, compute and joint options in the quote.
- Some demonstrations on the product page show functions still being developed.
- Confirm the exact edition, current destination availability and delivered price with the seller. A listed product is not a live-stock guarantee.
LIVING WITH THE HARDWARE
What ownership involves.
- Assembly
- Not established in the sources checked. Unitree publishes separate waist-fastener and hand-installation guides; confirm the work required for the exact EDU package.
- Computer & setup
- Unitree's SDK2 documents an Ubuntu development environment. The Explore app supports status and calibration; optional onboard development computers vary across EDU configurations.
- Connectivity
- The G1 specifications list Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. SDK examples communicate through a selected network interface; confirm the development connection for your configuration.
- Development access
- The official comparison reserves secondary development for G1 EDU. Public C++ and Python SDKs exist, but the base G1 price does not include EDU access.
