💬 Editor's take
The Unitree G1 is the first consumer humanoid to drop below £14,000. Lightweight (35 kg), agile (23 DOF, walks at 7.2 km/h), it targets the education market, R&D and early adopters. It ships with an open SDK and kicked off the race to democratise personal robotics.

“Free shipping” does not mean “taxes included”: customs duty and VAT are still owed at the border, and the carrier bills its own clearance fee on top.
8-12 weeks delivery from China. Subject to EU-CN tariff changes.
