| G1-2 | G1 Mimamori Copilot / ロボット go go go |
| G1-3 | Rescue G1 / Snow Guard |
Unitree G1 handling rules
- 01Keep each robot within a 1.5m radius. Applications must be designed to run within this constraint.
- 02No large or violent whole-body motions (e.g. dancing).
- 03Never let the robot hold sharp or dangerous objects.
- 04End effectors may be swapped or brought in freely (a dummy hand is pre-installed).
- 05Bring a Linux or Windows dev PC. Mac cannot be used due to SDK and network constraints.
- 06SDK, quick-start, and PC2 access details are shared at the lecture and on Discord.
- 07Call a staff member immediately if a robot falls or behaves abnormally.

About Orboh FleetSeek
FleetSeek is Orboh’s network for pooling and sharing what robots learn in the field.
Instead of intelligence living inside a single robot, robots from many sites and many makers contribute the skills and execution logs they gather on the job. The whole fleet gets smarter together — what one robot learns, another can pull out and use, like a shared pocket everyone reaches into.
The demos and know-how you build on the Unitree G1 this weekend feed into that network. Humanoid Hack Tokyo exists to grow the developer community and accelerate what comes next.
