The Unitree G1 is a $16,000—but still kind of limited—humanoid robot of small stature.

Does anyone want to buy a humanoid robot for $16,000? The latest product from Unitree hopes that you will: Meet the Unitree G1, a “Humanoid agent AI avatar,” aka a robot. If you haven't heard of Unitree, it's sort of the go-to “budget Chinese option” in the robot space. You're going to have to deal with company promotional materials that are just barely written in English, but you get some impressive bang-for-your-buck robots.

If “Arm Maximum Load” on the spec sheet is how much it can lift, it can lift 2 kg, or a paltry 4.4 pounds. The joints are all in a 160- to 310-degree range. You're going to have to do a lot of programming to make this do anything useful, but Unitree is not very forthcoming about how you're supposed to do that. Presumably you'll be using the same Unitree SDK the robot dogs use.
