Unitree R1 Humanoid Robot — Agile, Lightweight, AI-Native
The Unitree R1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid built for research, education and real-world embodied-AI development. Standing about 123 cm and weighing only ~29 kg, it pairs natural whole-body motion with an integrated multimodal voice-and-vision model — all ready to use straight out of the box. Choose the lightweight R1 Air, the full-featured R1, or the open R1 EDU development edition.
Omni-directional perception, agile motion
A 2-DOF head sharpens environmental perception while 20–26 whole-body degrees of freedom enable natural, stable movement across complex, real-world scenarios.
Lightweight design, easy maintenance
At ~123 cm and about 29 kg, the R1 is portable and ready out of the box — no tedious calibration. A clean, serviceable structure keeps you focused on innovation, not setup.
Multimodal AI: speech & vision in one model
An integrated multimodal model fuses speech and image understanding for seamless human–robot interaction. Fully open joint and sensor interfaces plus native simulation support let your algorithms move straight into the physical world.
Move first, execute tasks
Diverse, reliable locomotion is the essential foundation for task execution — the R1 walks, balances and recovers so it can get to work in dynamic environments.
Intelligent pioneer, made yours
Exclusive creative stickers let you define the R1’s look, and continuous over-the-air upgrades keep capabilities improving long after delivery.
