Introducing this robot, a versatile humanoid engineered to excel in light industrial tasks, service applications, and educational settings.

Product Description

R1 EDU Overview

The R1 EDU is a compact humanoid robot engineered for intensive research, software development, and educational programs that demand significant onboard computational power. Equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (40 TOPS) and a high-performance 8-core CPU, this platform serves as the perfect gateway for deep integration. Researchers gain full access to the robot's control architecture, allowing for the deployment of custom motion algorithms, perception models, and complex behavioral logic.

Featuring 26 degrees of freedom and an integrated binocular vision system, the R1 EDU is designed for teams ready to move beyond basic remote operation and begin building their own innovative solutions. Weighing approximately 25 kg and standing 121 cm tall, the robot delivers robust humanoid capability and serious computing power within a lab-friendly form factor.

Key Features

Powerful AI Computing: The integrated NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (40 TOPS) enables real-time neural network inference and the deployment of custom models directly on the robot.

Advanced Development Support: The platform offers open access to the R1 controller for sensor integration, motion planning, and the programming of sophisticated behavioral patterns.

High Mobility: With 26 degrees of freedom (6 per leg, 5 per arm, 2 in the waist, and 2 in the neck), the robot achieves a wide range of motion.

Advanced Vision System: Built-in binocular cameras allow the robot to navigate, recognize objects, and calculate depth in real-time.

Compact and Portable: Weighing 25 kg and standing 121 cm tall, the unit is easily transportable, making it ideal for classrooms, research labs, or field environments.

Autonomous Operation: A quick-release lithium battery provides approximately one hour of active operation.

Communication Interface: A 4-mic array and stereo speakers facilitate research into voice interaction and human-to-robot communication.
