A teardown-based post claims Unitree’s humanoids are much cheaper to build than their market prices suggest.
- The G1 reportedly has a bill of materials of about $6,144.
- The R1 is said to be even more cost-optimized and lighter, which makes a $5,000 price plausible.
- The author argues that with thousands of units, humanoids may end up costing about as much as laptops.
