Unitree robots are "research" platforms. People buy them to do development on top of them. I think G1 basically follows that route like their Go1 / 2 quadrupled. What they are really good at is to drive down cost for their motor / reducers. I think right now they breakeven for each piece <$100 (of their quadrupled, not sure about G1's. which is insane because the MIT Cheetah design costs ~$300 to manufacture and just motor itself costs ~$70).
