GITAI G1 in context: rank, rivals and specs
Compare with RobotEra M7 →G1 is a humanoid robot from GITAI in Japan, and it is at the prototype stage. It scores 33.9 on the Humanoid Metric, ranking 126th of 156.
On the leaderboard it sits between RobotEra M7 (HMX 34.6) and PAL Robotics TALOS (HMX 33.9).
Against the 156 humanoid robots ranked, its clearest strength is manipulation & dexterity (50.0 against a median of 41.3) and its clearest weakness is autonomy & intelligence (35.0 against 70.0).
By the published specifications, it is taller than 98% of the 123 other humanoid robots publishing a height (200 cm), is heavier than 94% of the 115 other humanoid robots publishing a weight (120 kg) and has fewer degrees of freedom than 84% of the 116 other humanoid robots publishing a degree-of-freedom count (21).
On autonomy, it is remotely operated in its public demonstrations, which the index caps low however capable the hardware. 4 deployment claims are on record, none yet backed by a customer, the press or the vendor.
Its specifications carry a medium-confidence grade from 3 cited sources, as of 2026-07.
