Xiaomi CyberOne vs Unitree G1
Verdict
Two Chinese research humanoids in very different positions. Xiaomi's CyberOne (177 cm, 52 kg) is a showcase prototype demonstrating what the brand can do; the Unitree G1 is a compact platform for research and education that you can genuinely buy. Facts vs hype: the G1 is available and deployable today, while CyberOne remains a statement of Xiaomi's technological direction rather than a product for sale.
