54V 5A charger.

The supplier accessory sheet specifies the G1 charger as:

• Input: 100-240V AC
• 50/60Hz
• 4A
• 350VA
• Output: 54V 5A

Therefore, the charging system is designed around a wide-voltage AC input.

For India, customers should use the supplied/approved charger and a suitable properly grounded electrical connection.

Do not connect the robot directly to an ordinary DC supply.

Use only the manufacturer's specified charging equipment.

19. Can I Charge It at Home or Office?

The supplied charger specification supports 100-240V AC input, so the charging system is compatible with the Indian mains voltage range when used with the appropriate supplied/approved charger and plug arrangement.

However:

• Use a proper electrical outlet.
• Use suitable earthing.
• Do not use damaged cables.
• Do not use an unapproved charger.
• Keep the charging area dry.
• Follow the manufacturer's battery instructions.

For institutional or event deployments, a dedicated safe charging area is recommended.

20. How Long Does Charging Take?

The supplied material specifies the charger as 54V 5A, but does not provide a reliable official charging-time figure.

Therefore Shanvis Store should not promise an exact number of hours.

Charging time can depend on:

• Battery state
• Battery temperature
• Charging conditions
• Battery-management system
• Charger condition

Exact charging time should be confirmed against the final supplied configuration.

21. Can I Carry a Spare Battery?

Yes, additional G1 batteries are listed separately in the supplied accessory price sheet.

The listed additional battery specification is:

• Smart battery-management system
• Self-discharge protection
• Balance-charging protection
• Overcharge/over-discharge protection
• Short-circuit protection
• Battery-load detection protection

22. How Heavy Is the Robot?

The standard G1 specification states approximately:

35 kg with battery.

For international airfreight planning, Shanvis Store recommends budgeting approximately 40 kg chargeable weight because actual packed/chargeable weight can differ from the robot's bare operating weight.

Final freight is determined by the carrier's actual or volumetric chargeable weight.

23. Can I Transport the Robot to Events?

Yes, but event transportation should be planned professionally.

The G1 can be folded to approximately:

690 x 450 x 300 mm

according to the supplied specifications.

However, transportation should consider:

• Protective packaging
• Battery handling
• Robot securing
• Loading/unloading
• Joint protection
• Suitable trolley/case
• Event venue access
• Operator safety

For frequent event use, a dedicated transport/protection solution is recommended.

24. Does the Robot Walk Automatically?

The G1 is designed as a walking humanoid robot.

However, "automatic walking" can mean different things:

• Remote-controlled walking
• Preset movement
• Programmed walking
• Autonomous navigation
• AI-based navigation

These are not identical functions.

G1 Basic can be operated using its supported control system, while advanced autonomous-navigation and development functions depend on the selected EDU configuration and software.

25. Does It Need Internet to Work?

Not necessarily for every basic robot movement.

The robot's onboard computing, controller, sensors and local functions allow many operations to be performed without continuously relying on the internet.

However, internet/network access may be required for:

• Cloud services
• Online AI services
• Certain voice services
• Remote management
• Software downloads
• Some application integrations

The exact requirement depends on the application.

26. Does It Come With a Remote Controller?

The supplied specification lists a:

Manual Controller: YES

for the G1 platform.

Exact controller/package contents should be confirmed against the final model-specific quotation.

27. Can It Be Controlled From a Phone?

The supplier information references APP control and remote-control functions in the broader G1 ecosystem.

However, smartphone control should not be treated as identical to full robot development control.

The exact supported app, operating system, functions and control method depend on the robot configuration and current software.

Customers requiring a specific Android/iOS control workflow should confirm this before ordering.

28. Can I Connect My Own Computer?

This depends on the model and development configuration.

The G1 EDU family is designed for secondary development and can support more advanced development workflows.

For customers intending to connect:

• Laptop
• Development PC
• Robotics workstation
• AI workstation
• External sensors
• Custom software

the exact interface and supported development method should be confirmed with the selected EDU configuration.

29. Can I Add Dexterous Hands Later?

Selected G1 configurations support different hand options.

The supplier price sheet separately lists:

• Dex3-1 three-finger force-controlled hand
• Dex3-1 tactile version
• Third-party dexterous hands
• Additional wrist configurations

Some higher G1 EDU models already include different hand configurations.

Therefore, customers should not assume that every G1 can simply receive every hand option without compatibility confirmation.

Ask Shanvis Store for a model-specific hand upgrade quotation.

30. Safety, Warranty, Support & Purchase FAQ

Is G1 a toy?

No. It is a powerful electromechanical humanoid robot intended for controlled professional, educational, research and demonstration applications.

Is it safe around children?

It should not be treated as a conventional children's toy. Maintain a safe distance and operate under appropriate supervision.

Connectivity options vary by configuration and development setup. Do not assume cellular connectivity is included in G1 Basic unless confirmed in the quotation.

Can it be used in India?

Yes, the platform can be imported and deployed in India subject to applicable import, electrical, battery transportation, safety and operational requirements.

Can I buy only one?

Yes. MOQ can be one unit, subject to manufacturer availability and configuration.

Is installation included?

Installation/training/support must be confirmed in the quotation. For a high-value humanoid robot, Shanvis Store can coordinate the appropriate support requirement.

Is training included?

Technical support and training availability depends on the selected configuration and supply package. Confirm before order.

What is the warranty?

Warranty varies by configuration and applicable manufacturer warranty documentation. Your supplied price sheet indicates different warranty terms for Basic and EDU configurations, so the exact warranty must be stated on the final quotation.

Can I get spare parts?

Spare batteries, chargers, motors, hands, sensors and other components are available as separately quoted items depending on manufacturer availability.

What if the robot stops working?

Contact Shanvis Store for troubleshooting and manufacturer-support coordination. Do not open or modify the robot's safety-critical components without authorization.

Can I modify the robot?

Only approved development/customization should be undertaken. Dangerous mechanical, electrical or software modifications are prohibited.

Can I use it commercially?

Commercial deployment such as exhibitions, demonstrations, events and professional robotics applications can be considered, subject to the manufacturer's terms and applicable local laws.

What is the delivery time?

Delivery depends on exact configuration, manufacturer availability, international shipment, battery-handling requirements, customs clearance and destination.

Is the displayed Shopify price final?

For high-value G1 configurations, the displayed price should be treated as an indicative DDP Air India price. Final quotation is subject to confirmed configuration, shipping, import clearance and delivery location.

Can I directly checkout?

For a ₹20 lakh+ robotic system, Shanvis Store recommends Request Quote / Enquiry rather than ordinary instant checkout.

What should I send for a quotation?

Please provide:

1. Required G1 model
2. Intended application
3. Delivery city
4. Whether EDU/secondary development is required
5. Required language/voice interaction
6. Required hands/accessories
7. Event or research application
8. Desired delivery timeline

Shanvis Store will then provide a configuration-specific quotation.

Maximum load / lifting capacity

For the G1 Basic, Unitree currently specifies the maximum arm load at about 2 kg. For the higher G1-EDU configuration, it is about 3 kg. Unitree explicitly warns that the arm's maximum load varies significantly depending on how far the arm is extended and the posture of the robot.

Very important: don't interpret “2 kg arm maximum load” as “the robot can safely walk around carrying 2 kg continuously.” The actual usable payload depends on arm extension, posture, movement, acceleration and stability. Unitree itself says the arm load varies considerably with arm extension posture.

What about lifting from the floor?

This is different from simply holding an object.

For example:

• Pick up a 500 g bouquet → realistic.
• Pick up a 1 kg box → potentially realistic under controlled conditions.
• Pick up a 2 kg object from the floor, stand up and walk/dance with it → not something I would promise commercially.
• Pick up a 5 kg suitcase → No, don't plan the business around this.

The G1 is a 35 kg humanoid performance/development robot, not a material-handling robot. Unitree lists the Basic arm maximum load at about 2 kg and the knee motor maximum torque at 90 N·m; the EDU version is around 3 kg arm load and 120 N·m knee torque.

For your wedding/event business

This actually gives you some very good practical use cases:

G1 Basic could hold:

• 🎤 Microphone
• 💐 Small bouquet
• 🎁 Small gift box
• 📱 Tablet
• 🪪 Welcome/QR display
• 🥤 Small beverage bottle
• 🏆 Small trophy
• 🛍️ Small product sample
• 📸 Small event prop

But I would not design a show where the robot is expected to carry heavy objects while dancing.

Also, the official remote already provides dedicated dance modes, Kung Fu, Roll Up, Jeet Kune Do, Twist and interaction gestures such as handshake, waving, clapping and flexing, so the strongest commercial proposition is performance + interaction, rather than lifting.

One more important distinction

Don't confuse:

“Arm maximum load ≈ 2 kg”

with

“Whole robot payload = 2 kg.”

Maximum Arm Load: Approx. 2 kg for G1 Basic. Actual usable load depends on arm extension, posture and movement. The robot is not designed for human carrying, heavy-load lifting or material-handling applications.

That is the safe and commercially honest way to present it.

And yes — we should add this as a separate section to the big G1 Basic Shopify/event-use document, because a customer will almost certainly ask: “Sir, how much weight can this robot lift?”

1. What I would actually do with one G1 at an Indian wedding

Imagine you own an event-management company and take the G1 to a wedding reception.

Scenario A — Entrance

Robot is standing near the entrance.

Operator remotely makes it:

• wave
• raise hand
• greet
• pose
• gesture toward guests

People immediately start taking photographs.

Scenario B — Stage

Robot comes onto the stage.

Operator activates:

Dance Mode → Dance 1

Then:

Dance 2

Then:

Dance 3

Then perhaps:

Twist / Kung Fu / other preset movements

The official controller documentation confirms these dedicated modes.

Scenario C — Bride/groom interaction

You could choreograph a controlled demonstration, for example:

Robot:

Waves

Bride/groom:

Waves back

Robot:

Claps

Robot:

Performs a short dance

Robot:

Poses for photographs

This is much more realistic than saying:

"Robot autonomously understands the wedding and dances with the bride."

2. Can it dance?

YES.

And this isn't just marketing language.

The official G1 remote-control documentation actually lists:

• Dance Mode
• Dance 1
• Dance 2
• Dance 3
• Kung Fu
• Jeet Kune Do
• Twist
• Roll-up
• other movement functions.

So G1 Basic is genuinely interesting for events.

3. Can I play an Indian song and make the robot dance to it?

This needs an important distinction.

You can certainly play:

• Telugu song
• Hindi song
• Kannada song
• Tamil song
• Malayalam song
• Bollywood song
• wedding song
• DJ track

through the event's normal sound system.

But that does not mean the G1 Basic automatically listens to that song and synchronizes its body movements to the beat.

That's a completely different capability.

Out of the box:

Song playing + robot's preset dance = YES

Robot automatically analyzing your song and creating synchronized choreography = NO, don't assume this.

For example:

DJ plays:

"Butta Bomma"

Operator can start the robot's preset dance at an appropriate moment.

But the robot isn't necessarily listening to the song and generating:

beat 1 → step
beat 2 → arm
beat 3 → turn
beat 4 → pose

automatically.

That would require a separate software/development workflow.

4. Can it dance with YOU?

Yes, but again there are two different meanings.

Easy version

You dance.

Robot performs its own preset dance.

You both appear to dance together.

YES.

This is very practical for weddings, reels and stage shows.

Advanced version

You move your arms and the robot copies your exact movements live.

That's teleoperation / motion imitation, which is a much more advanced application.

Unitree currently provides a broader developer ecosystem including G1 SDK, teleoperation and reinforcement-learning resources.

But I would not promise that G1 Basic gives you "copy whatever I do" functionality out of the box

5. Can I teach it my own dance?

G1 Basic: don't buy it specifically for this.

If your business requirement is:

"I want to create my own choreography and upload it."

then I would seriously consider an EDU configuration instead.

Your uploaded price sheet specifically distinguishes the EDU versions as supporting secondary development, whereas the Basic configuration does not.

6. Can it speak?

The hardware has:

• 4-microphone array
• 5W speaker

according to your supplied G1 specification.

But speaker ≠ automatic multilingual AI receptionist.

You need to distinguish:

Hardware

It can hear/output audio.

Software

Determines what it understands and says.

AI/TTS/ASR

Determines whether it can have a meaningful conversation.

7. Can I make it speak Telugu?

Potentially, yes — but don't assume it is included in G1 Basic.

For example, imagine your wedding business wants:

"Namaskaram! Mee andariki swagatham."

or:

"Andariki Shubhakankshalu!"

or Hindi:

"Namaste! Aap sabhi ka swagat hai."

or Kannada:

"Namaskara! Nimellarigu swagata."

These kinds of regional-language experiences can be built around appropriate speech-recognition/TTS software.

But I would classify that as:

custom software/application integration

rather than:

standard G1 Basic feature.

If this is your main business objective, I would ask Unitree specifically for the 2026 G1 Basic software/voice capability supplied to India before paying.

8. Can it understand me when I speak?

Potentially, depending on the software configuration.

But don't purchase the G1 Basic expecting:

"I speak Telugu → robot understands Telugu → robot thinks → robot replies naturally"

without first confirming the exact software package.

That is an AI integration question, not simply a robot-hardware question

9. Can I connect ChatGPT?

Don't assume it comes with ChatGPT.

You could potentially develop an AI interaction system around a suitable EDU/development configuration, but G1 Basic should not be sold to yourself as a ChatGPT robot.

The official Unitree developer ecosystem now includes G1 SDK development resources.

For your business, I would think:

G1 Basic = robot performer

G1 EDU = robot development platform

That's the clean distinction.

10. Does G1 Basic come with a remote?

Yes.

Your supplied specification says:

Manual Controller: YES.

The official Unitree documentation also has a dedicated G1 Remote Control manual and tutorials for remote-control connection.

And the remote-control manual gives actual movement/function mappings.

So you aren't expected to stand beside the robot and physically move every joint yourself.

11. Is remote control difficult for a normal person?

At first:

Yes, somewhat.

But you don't need to be a programmer to learn the basic controller.

Think about it like learning:

PlayStation controller + robot safety

rather than:

Python programming.

The official manual provides specific operating modes and button combinations

12. How would I train a completely new operator?

I would create a 3-day operator training protocol.

Day 1 — Don't make it walk.

Learn only:

• Power ON/OFF
• Battery check
• Controller pairing
• Standing
• Sitting
• Basic gestures
• Emergency stop
• Safe distance
• Damping/protection mode

The official documentation even identifies a recommended seated startup sequence and notes that some startup sequences require human assistance to bring the robot upright.

13. Day 2 — Movement

Learn:

• Slow walking
• Standing
• Sitting
• Squat
• Basic movement
• Low/high speed
• Turning
• Stopping
• Safe positioning

Do this in:

EMPTY OPEN SPACE.

Not at a wedding.

Not around children.

Not beside a bride in an expensive saree.

Not beside glass decoration.

Not beside electrical equipment.

Not on a crowded stage.

14. Day 3 — Performance

Only after the operator is comfortable:

• Dance mode
• Dance 1
• Dance 2
• Dance 3
• Kung Fu
• Twist
• Wave
• Clap
• Handshake
• Stage entrance
• Stage exit
• Emergency stop

The official remote manual explicitly provides an emergency interruption during Dance Mode: double-click START

15. VERY IMPORTANT: Emergency stop

This is not a toy.

The official manual provides a damping/protection mode and emergency interruption for dance operation. It also warns about maintaining safe operation around the robot.

Your operator should know:

NORMAL

Robot moving.

SOMETHING WRONG

Stop movement.

PERSON ENTERS TOO CLOSE

Stop.

ROBOT BECOMES UNSTABLE

Stop.

UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT

Emergency procedure.

You should never have a wedding photographer standing one foot away from a moving G1.

16. How long can it actually operate?

The manufacturer specification you provided says:

Approximately 2 hours battery life.

The current official G1/G1+ specifications also continue to quote approximately 2 hours for the battery-powered configuration.

But 2 hours does NOT mean 2 hours of continuous high-energy dancing.

That's the critical point.

Battery consumption changes dramatically with:

• Walking
• Dancing
• Running
• Repeated squatting
• Heavy motor activity
• High computing load
• Sensors
• Ambient temperature
• Battery condition

17. For an event, I would budget like this

Don't plan:

"One battery = entire wedding."

Instead plan:

10–15 minute performance

Very comfortable.

Then:

Rest / monitoring

Then another:

10–15 minute performance.

You can repeat this throughout an event depending on battery state and operating conditions.

The actual continuous runtime must be established through your own controlled testing because Unitree's approximately-2-hour figure is not a guaranteed "dance continuously for 2 hours" specification.

18. How long does charging take?

This is the one question where I will not invent a number.

Your supplied documentation gives:

Battery

9000mAh

Charger

54V 5A

But it does not give me a reliable official full-charge time.

The official Unitree G1 app page currently provides a dedicated G1 Battery & Charger manual, which is exactly the document I would use for the final charging-time figure.

19. But can you charge it in India?

The supplier specification you gave says the charger accepts:

100–240V AC, 50/60Hz

and outputs:

54V 5A.

So India's normal ~230V supply is within the stated charger input range.

But use the supplied/approved charger, proper earthing and a suitable socket.

Do not experiment with another 54V power supply.

20. Can I buy a second battery?

YES — and for your business I strongly recommend it.

Your uploaded Unitree price sheet lists:

Additional G1 Battery

and specifies:

• 9000mAh
• Battery-management system
• Balance charging protection
• Overcharge protection
• Over-discharge protection
• Short-circuit protection
• Battery-load detection protection.

For an event-management business, I would strongly consider:

G1 Basic + 2 batteries

instead of buying one battery and discovering halfway through a 6-hour event that you need to stop.

However, battery swapping should be performed according to the manufacturer's procedure.

21. Can I swap batteries during an event?

The G1 uses a:

Quick-release 9000mAh battery.

So the platform is designed around battery replacement rather than permanently wiring the robot to the charger.

But don't treat battery replacement like changing a TV remote battery.

It is a high-energy lithium battery system.

Your trained operator should perform the swap according to the manufacturer's instructions

22. Could I keep one battery charging while the robot uses another?

That's the business model I would investigate.

For example:

Battery A → robot

Battery B → charging

Then when appropriate:

Robot stops → Battery B installed → Battery A charged

But you need to verify:

• charging time
• battery temperature
• safe swap procedure
• charging-cycle requirements
• event operating conditions

before designing a continuous-event schedule

23. Can I operate G1 for an entire wedding?

Yes, as an event attraction.

But I would not run it continuously for hours.

Instead:

Performance block → rest → interaction → rest → performance

For example:

24. What can it physically do at a wedding?

This is where G1 Basic becomes interesting.

Movement

• Walk
• Stand
• Sit
• Squat
• Turn
• Controlled running/movement modes
• Pose

Gestures

• Wave
• Raise hand
• Clap
• Handshake
• Other preset gestures

Entertainment

• Dance
• Dance 1
• Dance 2
• Dance 3
• Kung Fu
• Twist
• Jeet Kune Do
• Other preset movements

The official remote documentation confirms these functions.

Interaction

• Greeting demonstration
• Guest attraction
• Photography
• Video creation
• Stage performance
• Technology showcase

25. What I would NOT let it do at a wedding (Just Information)

I would not use G1 Basic for:

❌ carrying the bride/groom

❌ carrying children

❌ carrying heavy decorations

❌ serving hot food

❌ carrying drinks through a crowd

❌ touching guests without controlled choreography

❌ operating beside an open swimming pool

❌ operating in rain

❌ operating on a slippery wet floor

❌ operating on stairs

❌ operating in a dense crowd

❌ letting children operate the controller

❌ allowing guests to randomly touch the joints

26. Can it walk on a wedding stage?

Potentially, but the stage needs to be suitable.

Before deployment check:

• Flatness
• Load capacity
• Surface grip
• Stage edge
• Cables
• Decoration
• Lighting
• Crowd distance
• Stairs
• Confetti
• Liquids
• Smoke/fog effects

A robot walking on a clean hard floor is one thing.

A wedding stage covered in flowers, cables, carpets and decorations is another.

27. Can it dance beside the bride?

Technically, you can create that kind of show.

But I would keep:

a trained operator + safety perimeter

between the robot and people.

For example:

Bride + Groom

⬇️

2–3 m controlled performance area

⬇️

G1

⬇️

Operator

This is much more professional.

28. Can it interact with guests?

Yes — in a controlled sense.

For example:

Guest:

"Hello!"

Operator:

activates wave

Robot:

waves

Guest:

takes photo

Robot:

pose

This is already enough to create a major attraction.

A fully autonomous conversational wedding host is a different development project.

29. Can it recognize a song automatically?

Don't assume that.

There are three levels:

Level 1 — DJ plays song + operator starts dance

✅ Very practical.

Level 2 — Robot receives a predetermined song cue + starts predetermined choreography

🟡 Possible as a custom workflow depending on development capability.

Level 3 — Robot listens to any song + understands rhythm + generates synchronized dance

🔴 Not a standard G1 Basic feature.

30. Can it copy my dance live?

Not as a standard "buy and use" feature.

That is closer to:

motion capture → motion mapping → humanoid control

and requires suitable development.

If your business model is specifically:

"I want a person dancing in front of G1 and G1 copies him/her live"

31. What about regional songs?

This is actually easier.

The song itself doesn't have to be understood by the robot.

For example:

Telugu wedding

DJ plays Telugu song.

Operator starts:

Dance 1

Robot performs.

Hindi wedding

DJ plays Hindi song.

Operator starts:

Dance 2

Robot performs.

Kannada wedding

DJ plays Kannada song.

Operator starts:

Dance 3

Robot performs.

So regional music is not the problem.

The problem is automatic synchronization to that music.

32. Can I create a "Shanvis Robot Show"?

Absolutely.

I would actually commercialize the robot as a separate event service.

"Shanvis RoboShow"

Package:

Humanoid Robot Entrance

Dance Performance

Interactive Gestures

Guest Photography

Technology Demonstration

Regional Welcome Voice

Professional Operator

That can potentially generate event revenue rather than treating the G1 merely as a ₹20 lakh asset.

33. The biggest business advantage

You don't necessarily need to sell the robot.

You can rent the experience.

Suppose eventually you spend roughly ₹20 lakh landed on G1 Basic.

You could create packages such as:

Corporate event

₹50,000–₹1,00,000+

College event

₹30,000–₹75,000+

Wedding

₹40,000–₹1,00,000+

Product launch

₹75,000–₹2,00,000+

Premium AI interaction show

Higher pricing.

Those are business-model examples, not market quotations.

The robot becomes:

an event attraction asset

rather than simply an expensive machine sitting in your office.

"Can I buy G1 Basic for $13,500 and, without being a robotics engineer, use it in weddings and events?"

YES.

If your expectation is:

"I switch it on, tell it in Telugu to welcome guests, play any Telugu song, it understands the song, creates its own choreography, dances with me, talks intelligently to guests and works autonomously for six hours."

NO — not out of the box.

But if your expectation is:

"I have a trained operator with a remote controller. I can make a 1.32 m humanoid robot walk, gesture, wave, clap, handshake, perform preset dances and martial-arts-style movements, pose, interact visually with guests and create a spectacular technology attraction."

YES — that is a genuinely realistic G1 Basic event-business use case.

And for your particular idea, I would seriously investigate it as an event-rental/show business, not merely as a product resale item.
