Overview
The R1-D from Unitree Robotics of Hangzhou, China, is an upper-body robot with two arms, a waist and a head. It comes in four versions. R1-A5 and R1-A7 have 5-DoF and 7-DoF arms respectively and run on external power. The R1-A5-D and R1-A7-D versions add a chassis with three degrees of freedom and LiDAR.
The store quotes a starting price of US$4,290, excluding customs duties, without saying which version it applies to, but we could not confirm current availability.
The A5 and A7 versions weigh about 11 kg and 13 kg, at 700 mm and 835 mm tall. The -D versions weigh about 30 kg and 32 kg and extend from 683 mm to 1,600 mm in height. Degrees of freedom, including grippers, run from 15 to 22, well below the 29 median across humanoid records. Arm payload is 2–4 kg, depending on posture. The head carries an 8-core CPU plus 10 TOPS, with optional Orin modules of 40–100 TOPS, and a binocular camera with a 146° × 124° field of view. Runtime is about 90 min. Battery capacity, charge time and speed are not published.
