“Why does Kai Cenat’s Unitree G1 robot cost $70K when a ‘similar’ one is $16K? They look identical, but one is a toy—the other is a BEAST. Let’s expose the shocking differences!”
📌In this video, we dive deep into Unitree’s controversial G1 humanoid robots. On the surface, the $16,000 base model and Kai Cenat’s $70,000 G1 EDU Ultimate C (U5) look identical—same size, same weight (77 lbs), same folding dimensions. But under the hood? They’re worlds apart.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
– Degrees of Freedom (DoF): The $16K robot has just 23 joints—enough to walk and wave, but its stiff, static hands and limited waist movement make it a glorified toy. Meanwhile, Kai’s $70K version has 41 DoF, including dexterous three-fingered hands with 7 active joints each(and optional tactile sensors!).
– Power & Performance: The base model’s knees max out at 90N.m torque (weak for heavy loads), while the EDU version’s 120N.m knees rival Boston Dynamics’ Figure 02. One can barely lift 4.4 lbs; the other handles 6.6 lbs with ease.
– Brains vs. Brick: The cheap G1 has no AI upgrades, no NVIDIA Jetson Orin, and no programming options. It’s stuck with pre-loaded dance moves. The EDU model? Built for developers, with 100TOPS computing power, ChatGPT compatibility, and autonomous potential.
– The Customization Trap: Want to add advanced hands or sensors? Too bad—the $16K robot is locked down. Only the $70K EDU version lets you hack, upgrade, and turn it into a true AI machine.
💸 **Is the $16K G1 a scam?Not quite—it’s a gateway for hobbyists. But if you want a robot that *actually does something, Kai’s $70K beast is the only real choice. We break down why the price gap isn’t just fair—it’s unavoidable.
