[Unitree G1] Current Unitree G1 capability?

I have 40 years software development experience, but none in robotics. I’m considering getting a Unitree G1 EDU but having a hard time discovering exactly what the current capabilities are. I have some general questions and perhaps someone here can give some guidance. Really what I want is something that can perform some basic functions in the home, that I can build on.

  • Need something that has basic capability that I can build on. Don’t want to start from scratch.
  • Object identification VLM installed? (Visual Language Model) Which one? Open source?
  • High level API for movement. Where are we at?
    • For instance “Pick up red water bottle” within reach. Are we there?
  • G1 EDU vs G1 basic. Can the EDU do everything the basic can, out of the box?
  • What about MindOn. Add-on to basic version? Then why can’t I add on to basic version?

I appreciate any thoughts or comments you might have.
