Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: G1 or RAISE A1?
RAISE A1 is cheaper at $27,500 vs $87,000 for G1. 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: G1 or RAISE A1?
RAISE A1 rates a higher payload at 80 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 G1 and RAISE A1 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: G1 or RAISE A1?
G1 has no ROS support; RAISE A1 has ros2. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
