Unitree R1 Basic Humanoid Robot
$8,990.00Introducing this robot, a versatile humanoid engineered to excel in light industrial tasks, service applications, and educational settings.
Product Description
Meet the R1 Basic — a compact humanoid robot built for hands-on robotics education, foundational research, and light-duty operational testing. With 24 degrees of freedom packed into a lightweight ~25 kg frame, the R1 Basic delivers fluid, human-like movement in a smaller, lab-friendly package.
Under the hood, an 8-core processor, binocular camera vision system, and rugged aluminum alloy chassis give researchers and students a reliable platform for experimenting with motion control, balance algorithms, and human-robot interaction in real-world conditions. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and a swappable one-hour battery keep the R1 Basic ready for fast iteration in classrooms and research labs alike.
Why Choose the R1 Basic
Lifelike Motion, Full Control 24 total degrees of freedom — 6 per leg, 5 per arm, and dual waist joints — deliver smooth, natural humanoid movement for advanced motion studies.
Compact and Portable by Design Standing 121 cm tall and weighing approximately 25 kg with battery installed, the R1 Basic is easy to move between research labs, classrooms, and demo spaces.
Real-Time Vision and Perception A humanoid binocular camera system enables depth perception and environmental awareness for navigation and recognition tasks.
Serious Computing Power An 8-core CPU paired with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 ensures fast, stable wireless connectivity and seamless OTA firmware updates.
Swappable Battery System The quick-release lithium battery provides roughly one hour of runtime and can be exchanged in seconds to keep testing sessions running longer.
Built-In Audio Interface A 4-microphone array and stereo speakers support interactive testing of human-robot communication and voice-based applications.
