Delivery evidence without an exact delivery date

A source publication or review date is not a confirmed receipt day.

Fraunhofer IPA says it received a Unitree G1 EDU-4 with Dex3-1 hands in May 2025; the source gives a month, not a day.¹¹

Notes

Height/weight conflict: Unitree's current product page (accessed 2026-09-20) states "1320x450x200mm" and "About 35kg", while The Robot Report's May 2024 launch coverage stated 127 cm and 47 kg for the same base G1. Both are shown here as the current manufacturer figure; the discrepancy is not resolved.
G1 is listed for direct purchase on Unitree's own storefront (checkout, no waitlist), which is strong claimed-level evidence of availability.
Shipped bar: Fraunhofer IPA states it received a Unitree G1 EDU-4 in May 2025 and separately reports campus unboxing. Durham University reports receipt of its G1 Edu “Alan” by 1 April 2026. Both are named external recipients; neither source supports an exact day of first customer delivery. The previous Durham URL was inaccessible; the dur.ac.uk address is accessible.
The 100m obstacle race result is attributed to G1 per Unitree's own social post naming the G1 for this event; the Shanghai Gaoyi Technology government press release (source above) confirms the time and team but does not itself name the robot model, since it covers both the G1 obstacle result and the H1 400m result from the same subsidiary team in one paragraph.
locomotion left out (2026-09-21): searched the manufacturer's own product/press page and its main launch coverage (The Robot Report / IEEE Spectrum / named outlet where applicable) for a literal quote naming the propulsion ("bipedal", "legs", "walks", "wheeled base", etc.); none of the pages fetched in this pass contained a checkable sentence naming it specifically for G1 -- most pages describe height/DOF/speed without ever stating the locomotion type in words. Left out rather than inferred from photos or category. Revisit with a source that states it directly.
