What’s inside
The parts the company has talked about publicly.
- Movement
- Stationary
- Actuators & motors
- GITAI custom high-power actuators rated 245 Nm at 47.5 rpm, with elastic response to external force; 21 DoF (arms 8x2, grippers 1x2, torso 3).
- Hands
- Two-finger grippers, 1 DoF each; dual redundant arms can also handle soft items such as fabric.
- Sensors & vision
- Head with high-resolution cameras (two larger camera 'eyes' and horizontal sensor strips) for omnidirectional perception; actuator sensors; ultra-low-latency wide-field video streaming for operators.
- Compute
- NVIDIA Jetson compute module.
- Battery & power
- Battery or external power depending on the application.
- Materials & build
- Iron, aluminium and 3D-printed parts.
- AI & software
- Custom software built on ROS and OpenCV with real-time logging and diagnostics; mix of autonomy and teleoperation through GITAI's H1 manipulation user interface.
- Other details
- About 2 m tall and 120 kg; cost quoted as depending on customer requirements. GITAI's later ISS demonstration (Oct 2021) used its S1 robotic arm, not the G1 humanoid.

Side by side with its peers
Picked by the same rules for every humanoid: another maker’s robot that moves the same way, is at the same stage and does at least one of the same main jobs, first shown within two years. Closer size and price rank higher. Few robots match closely, so these are the nearest matches. How we choose
