Editorial summaries
Booster T1
The Booster T1, from China's Booster Robotics, is a research and developer humanoid prominent in the wave of Chinese humanoids shown at CES 2026. There is no verified consumer price or delivery date on record in DEPLOY's registry. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research and applies verified-vs-claimed discipline: commercial-ramping marketing and demonstrations are common across this cohort, but third-party verified deployment is the bar, and it is not yet met here.
Unitree G1
The Unitree G1 is a research and developer humanoid platform at a sub-enterprise price point, sold into university labs, hardware-research groups, and individual developers rather than enterprise integration contracts. The category distinction matters: a G1 at a research bench is in its intended environment; treating G1 in active research use as commercial deployment overstates Unitree's commercial position relative to Apollo, Digit, or Atlas.
Unitree describes G1's autonomy as developer-platform capability for capability research, with the published specs (degrees of freedom, payload, runtime) as the verifiable substance; commercial deployment hours at named customer sites are not yet part of G1's record.
