Fresh off a standing ovation on America's Got Talent, the G1 E brings synchronized, multi-robot choreography to live events across the country — a milestone that signals how far physical AI has come since the days of lab-bound prototypes.
Humanoid robots have long been confined to research facilities and factory floors, but Toborlife AI is betting that the stage is where the public will truly meet them. The Mountain View-based company — developer of the Tobor Harness™ control system and the official U.S. partner of Unitree Robotics — announced today that the Unitree G1 E, a group performance humanoid, is now available for sale and rental across the United States. Previously accessible only through a handful of resellers, the G1 E now ships directly from Toborlife AI's U.S. warehouses. These robots execute synchronized dance routines in troupes of 2 to 10, with each unit tracking its position relative to the others, making them a ready-made headline act for stage shows, conferences, trade shows, and corporate events.
Audiences got a prime-time glimpse of the G1 E's capabilities this year when a troupe performed on America's Got Talent, earning a standing ovation from the studio audience and judges alike. That same experience can now be booked at venues nationwide. Each robot comes pre-loaded with 10 dance styles, and additional routines can be downloaded from the UniStore, Unitree's app store, allowing a troupe's repertoire to expand from one event to the next.

“People see a dancing robot and think it’s a stunt. Engineers see one of the hardest tests you can give a humanoid,” said George Ekas, Co-Founder and CTO at Toborlife AI. “To hit every beat in step with up to nine other robots, the G1 E has to keep its balance, coordinate dozens of joints at once, and land explosive moves in real time. When a group of robots can do that on stage, you are watching how far physical AI has come.”
Why a dancing robot is a serious engineering test
To the untrained eye, synchronized robot dancing is pure entertainment. In robotics, however, it represents a rigorous evaluation of a humanoid's physical intelligence. Every G1 E routine tests the machine in several demanding ways:
- Dynamic balance. Quick steps, pivots, and clean turns require the robot to shift its center of gravity instantaneously. Deep knee bends, wide squats, and side-to-side sways all occur without the robot losing its footing.
- Precise motor control. The G1 platform offers up to 43 degrees of freedom, and dancing demands that every joint move in unison with millisecond precision.
- Group awareness. Each robot tracks the positions of its counterparts on stage, maintaining formation and spacing through every transition. This robot-to-robot coordination goes beyond most humanoids currently on the market, which are typically designed to operate solo.
- Explosive agility. High-energy choreography includes aerial maneuvers, side flips, and no-handed front flips, with the robot landing cleanly back on its feet.
A headline act for any event
Event producers, entertainment companies, agencies, venues, and corporate event planners can either purchase a G1 E troupe outright or rent one for a single occasion. Renting provides a headline act for a product launch, conference keynote, gala, or trade show booth without a long-term commitment, while purchasing gives performance groups and venues a troupe they can program and build custom shows around. Every G1 E is supported by Toborlife AI's U.S.-based team of robotics engineers.
The G1 E will also be showcased at Toborlife AI's Mountain View showroom, where visitors can watch the robots perform and explore the latest advances in physical AI across the company's full Unitree lineup.
“For most people, their first encounter with a humanoid robot is going to happen at an event, not in a lab or a factory,” said David Schulhof, CEO and Founder of Toborlife AI. “The G1 E makes that first encounter unforgettable. We want booking that experience to be as easy here in the U.S. as hiring a band, with robots that ship from our own warehouses and a team that stands behind them.”
Available now
The Unitree G1 E is available immediately for sale or rental through Toborlife AI, shipping directly from the U.S. in groups of 3 to 10 robots. Event producers, venues, and businesses can request pricing, book a rental, or schedule a showroom demonstration by contacting sales@toborlife.ai or (408) 409-4061.
