Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: Digit or G1?
G1 is cheaper at $87,000 vs $250,000 for Digit. Note that lower price does not imply lower total cost of ownership — see the TCO calculator on the Explore page for utilisation-adjusted figures.
Which has higher payload: Digit or G1?
Digit rates a higher payload at 16 kg vs 10 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Are both Digit and G1 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: Digit or G1?
Digit has ros2; G1 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
