Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: G1 or R1?
R1 is cheaper at $5,900 vs $87,000 for G1. Note that lower price does not imply lower total cost of ownership — see the TCO calculator on the Explore page for utilisation-adjusted figures.
Are both G1 and R1 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: G1 or R1?
G1 has no ROS support; R1 has ros2. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does G1 or R1 use LiDAR?
G1 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; R1 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
