G1 vs Ameca

G1 from Unitree and Ameca from Engineered Arts target overlapping use cases, so the decision usually comes down to price, payload and how soon you can actually take delivery. G1 is the cheaper of the two. G1 carries more payload, which matters for material handling work. Both are at a similar stage of availability.
