  • Available near Montreal, Quebec (approximately 3-hour radius)

The Unitree G1 EDU U2 Humanoid Robot Rental (w/ On-Site Service) makes the G1 EDU Plus (U2) bipedal humanoid available as a fully managed on-site experience rather than a purchase. RobotShop staff deliver, operate, and supervise the robot throughout your event, running pre-programmed routines built for live demonstration and audience engagement. That makes it an ideal centerpiece for trade shows and exhibitions, brand activations, product launches, corporate events and conferences, technology showcases, and media events. The platform itself is the same G1 EDU Plus (U2) configuration detailed below, with 29 degrees of freedom, onboard sensing, and full-body actuation.

Onboard sensing lets the robot continuously read its surroundings, tracking nearby people and obstacles so it can adjust its movements in real time. A built-in voice interface supports natural two-way interaction, letting it listen and respond during live demonstrations. Between runs, its quick-release battery keeps downtime short, with each pack providing approximately two hours of operation. Because RobotShop staff handle setup, operation, and teardown, no robotics knowledge is required from your team, and there is no technical risk or operational friction to manage on the day. Service is available within roughly a 3-hour radius of Montreal, Quebec, subject to scheduling.

Model Features
Core hardware systems that define this configuration's perception, arm control, and locomotion.
Capabilities

Beyond its mechanical hardware, the platform layers on software and interaction capabilities that support open development.

Environmental Perception

Depth and LiDAR sensing continuously scan for obstacles, people, and terrain around the robot. This live sensor data feeds the AI stack for more context-aware behavior.

Open SDK & Simulation Tools

Secondary development access lets engineering teams write custom control code and test behaviors in simulation before moving to hardware. Companion repositories support the full pipeline from training through sim-to-real transfer.

Natural Human-Robot Interaction

Voice and audio feedback let the robot listen and respond during shared tasks. Combined with its expressive movement, this supports comfortable operation alongside people.

Modular Developer Ecosystem

Gigabit Ethernet and USB interfaces make it straightforward to attach custom payloads, cameras, or compute modules. Continuous over-the-air updates keep the software stack current over time.

Use Cases & Application Scenarios
From lab benches to demo floors, here is where this configuration typically gets to work.
Robotics Lab & Research Deployment
Deployed on lab benches and research platforms, the robot supports locomotion and balance experiments as teams iterate between simulation and physical hardware. Its LiDAR, depth camera, and onboard AI compute let researchers log detailed telemetry from every trial and compare results across sessions. 
Collaborative & Educational Interaction
In classroom and lab settings, the robot engages students and visitors through voice interaction and expressive movement, making embodied AI concepts easier to grasp firsthand. Its built-in microphone array and speaker support natural back-and-forth exchanges, letting it respond during a live session rather than follow a fixed script. That combination of movement and conversation gives instructors and demonstrators a hands-on way to introduce core robotics and embodied AI concepts. 
Demonstration & Light Industrial Trials
At trade shows, technology expos, and light industrial pilot programs, the platform demonstrates coordinated bipedal movement and stable balance recovery in front of live audiences. Operators can walk it through structured routines that highlight smooth, repeatable motion under real-world observation conditions. These same routines double as an early proof of concept for evaluating humanoid mobility ahead of more specialized task trials. 
Ongoing Development & Platform Growth
Development teams use the open computing stack and secondary development access to prototype new perception and control behaviors, with the platform evolving through ongoing software updates. Compatible with ROS-based workflows and the Unitree SDK, it supports everything from custom perception pipelines to full sim-to-real policy transfer. Regular OTA updates keep the platform current as new tools and reference behaviors become available.

Model: G1-EDU-U2-Rent

Included Hand Type: Fixed Non-Dexterous Hand
What It Is
Fixed Hand Shape
Ships with a fixed, non-articulated hand-shaped end effector rather than a functional gripper.
No Grip Function
The fingers do not move or actuate, so this hand cannot grasp or manipulate objects.
Structural Wrist Cover
Caps the wrist joint and completes the arm's human-like silhouette.
Human-Like Form Factor
Sized and shaped to resemble a human hand for visual consistency with the rest of the platform.
Upgrade Path Available
Dexterous three-finger and five-finger hands are available on EDU-tier configurations.
