Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: G1 or Pepper?
G1 is cheaper at $13,500 vs $32,000 for Pepper. Note that lower price does not imply lower total cost of ownership — see the TCO calculator on the Explore page for utilisation-adjusted figures.
Is G1 or Pepper actually available to buy?
G1 is shipping to customers. Pepper has been discontinued. Status reflects the vendor's published commercial position as of the last review and can change between announcement and actual delivery.
Which is better for ROS-based development: G1 or Pepper?
G1 has ros2; Pepper has ROS 1 only. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does G1 or Pepper use LiDAR?
G1 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; Pepper does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
