Unitree R1 EDU Smart Intelligent Bionic Humanoid Robot

≤121cm agile form, ultra-lightweight at about 25kg

The Unitree R1 EDU Smart Humanoid is an advanced, modular bipedal robot crafted for deep learning, research, and educational innovation, offering enhanced features for developers and AI professionals. Retaining a compact and lightweight frame (~25 kg, 1.21 m tall), the R1 EDU stands out with its increased capabilities and open development environment.

By default, the R1 EDU is powered by a 8-core high-performance CPU for smooth, responsive operation. For users requiring GPU-accelerated AI computations, the EDU model offers an optional NVIDIA Jetson Orin AI module upgrade. This enables real-time multimodal AI processing for vision, language, and sensor fusion — ideal for advanced robotics research with the EDU smart capable of reaching 100 TOPS.

Its stereo binocular cameras, depth sensors, and four microphone array provide sharp environmental awareness, speech recognition, and complex audio/visual processing. The R1 EDU Smart features 26 degrees of freedom 6 per leg, 5 per arm, 2 in the waist, and 2 in the head (EDU Smart-only) enabling fluid, expressive human like movements, from dynamic locomotion to nuanced head articulation. Precise, low inertia motors with advanced encoders underpin smooth, controlled, and powerful performance.

For manipulation and HRI tasks, the R1 EDU supports optional three finger dexterous hands (EDU only), expanding its interactive and object‑handling capabilities. Developers have access to an open SDK and ROS 2 interfaces (EDU only) for full secondary development, firmware modifications, and direct hardware integration.

Stay connected with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 and enjoy the convenience of over-the-air updates. The R1's rechargeable battery supports about one hour of continuous use, with optional fast charging to keep you moving.
