If you are one of those who doubt the advances in current robotics, take a look at what is now available to buy on Amazon, because the Chinese company Unitree Robotics officially put its G1 humanoid robot on sale on Amazon in the United States, transforming a technology that seemed distant into something that can be purchased with a click.

The model is listed for around $17,990 sold directly from Unitree itself within the platform, it is a higher value than the price on the company's official site, where the G1 usually costs around $13,500, but the difference has a clear reason, convenience, buying on Amazon means avoiding complicated imports, international shipping, unexpected fees and customs bureaucracy.

For startup companies or even enthusiasts with money available, paying more can be the price of ease and that detail shows something important. Unitree isn't just selling a robot, it's testing the market. G1 had previously appeared on Walmart's site for more than $21,000, indicating that the company is experimenting with different sales channels to find out how far the public is willing to go.

But the model sold on Amazon is not exactly the same one used in advanced research, the available version is called without secondary development, which means that the user cannot freely modify the system or train its own artificial intelligence, it works as a closed product, ready to use, controlled by application or remote control.

Of course, the specifications remain the same, the G1 measures around 1.27 cm in height, weighs approximately 35 kg and has 23º of freedom, which allows relatively complex movements. It uses depth sensors along with 3D age for navigation and can execute pre-programmed routines such as walking, balancing, dancing or interacting with the environment.

The autonomy is around 2 hours per charge and the torque in the joints is sufficient for light but precise physical tasks, it is not a complete industrial theft, it is not a fully autonomous humanoid, but it is no longer an inaccessible prototype, it is a product available to put in the shopping cart.
