Unitree G1 price in Australia: what you'll pay, and what you get

What the Unitree G1 costs in Australia

Checked 30 October 2026 on each seller's website. eozzie and George's Cameras don't print a currency on the price; both are Australian stores. Roboworks doesn't say whether its price includes GST. Not on Amazon AU on our check date. Prices for robots like this change often and versions differ, so confirm the exact configuration, GST and warranty in writing before you pay.

Why the price varies so much

• Different versions under one name. The basic G1 has 23 degrees of freedom and no secondary development. EDU versions add a 100 TOPS compute module, more joints and hands (three-finger Dex3-1 or five-finger), and the ability to program it. Roboworks' own page lists 43 and 23 degrees of freedom in different places, so ask exactly what you're getting.
• What's bundled. Roboworks says shipping and duties are included. eozzie sells a spare high-performance battery ($1,455), a remote controller ($1,550) and induction and training sessions ($1,500 for one hour) separately.
• Warranty. Roboworks lists 8 months on the basic G1 and 12 months on EDU versions. Other sellers didn't state a warranty on the pages we checked. The Australian Consumer Law applies when you buy from an Australian business, whatever the warranty says.
• Stock. One seller is on backorder until 29 November 2026, and another quotes about six weeks. A lower price on backorder may not beat a higher one in stock if you need it for a term or an event.

What the G1 can and can't do

Unitree's demos show the G1 walking, balancing and running showcase moves, which is why universities, schools, developers and event companies buy it. What it isn't is a home helper. With a 2 kg arm load, about two hours per battery and, on the basic model, no way to program new tasks, it can't fold washing or tidy a room. For robots built to do chores, see 1X NEO and Tesla Optimus, neither of which is on sale in Australia yet.

Security: what researchers found

In September 2025, Alias Robotics published research on the G1 reporting a Bluetooth setup flaw that let someone nearby gain control of the robot, a shared encryption key across units, and telemetry sent every five minutes to servers in China, including sensor data. In its case study, the data included audio, video and spatial data (Help Net Security, 16 October 2025). That report didn't include a response from Unitree, and we haven't found Unitree publicly detailing a fix. Ask your reseller which firmware fixes have shipped since, keep the robot on a separate network, and don't run it where private conversations happen. Our guide to robot cameras and privacy covers the basics for any robot with cameras and microphones.

Why Unitree is in the news this week

Unitree unveiled a new security and rescue humanoid, the H2-X, on 21 October 2026; the next day, one fell during a kung fu demonstration in Hangzhou and a lower leg came off, and the video spread widely (TechNode, Global Times). Unitree's shares, listed in Shanghai since August, rose more than 60% from 15 October after JPMorgan upgraded the stock on 26 October. On 28 October it reported its first quarterly results since listing: revenue up 70% on a year earlier, profit down 17.4% (Reuters). DigitalToday put the G1 at about US$16,000, cheaper than rival humanoids; Unitree's own store lists it from US$13,500.

None of this changes what the G1 does, but it explains the attention, and why more Australians are asking what one costs.

The rest of Unitree's humanoid range in Australia

Checked 30 October 2026. US$ prices exclude shipping, GST and import costs. The new H2-X isn't listed for sale.

Before you pay

• Get the configuration in writing: basic or EDU, degrees of freedom, which hands, which compute module.
• Ask who services it in Australia and how long a repair takes; a robot that has to go back to China can be out for weeks.
• Ask about firmware and data: which version ships, how updates arrive, and whether telemetry can be turned off.
• Budget for extras: a second battery, the remote, training, and insurance if it will be used in public.
• Check the space: it needs a clear, flat area; falls happen, as Unitree's own H2-X demo showed.

HFC I in Melbourne on 21 November uses EngineAI T800s, not Unitree robots: here's what we know.

Our take

The G1 is the most accessible real humanoid in Australia, starting at about A$35,000 for a basic one from a local seller. It's a research and teaching platform, not a household robot, and the security findings mean it belongs on a separate network with someone who knows what they're doing. If you're buying for a lab, school or event, shop on configuration, warranty and local support rather than headline price. We'll update this page as Australian prices change.

Waiting for a home humanoid instead? Our Tesla Optimus tracker follows Tesla's plans, including the reservations report Musk denied.
