The G1 is the model that moved the bipedal humanoid from the laboratory to commercial use: with a list price of around $13,500 to $16,000 depending on configuration, it costs an order of magnitude less than the research platforms that preceded it, for comparable walking and manipulation capabilities.
Its battery life is around two hours with a 9,000 mAh quick-swap battery; during a booking, its presence is organised in appearances, with checks and recharging between sequences. It folds down to about 69 cm, so it can be carried in an ordinary vehicle, with no lorry or heavy logistics.
It is the model Libella Robotics hires out for its event services. We name it in our quotes, and we publish real videos of it operating in Paris rather than the manufacturer's promotional videos.
