How it works

Unitree R1 Humanoid Robot in detail

Choosing a configuration

The table below is the honest version of the spec sheet: it shows only what actually differs between configurations, so you can see what the extra money buys. Shared platform specifications are listed separately — they apply to every unit in the range.

Typical buyers are teaching labs, STEM programmes and first-time humanoid buyers. If you are not sure which build fits your work, ask us: we configure these for US customers every week and will tell you when a cheaper configuration does the job.

See the rest of the range on our humanoid robots page, or browse everything we carry from Unitree.

Most configurations differ only by the hand fitted. If you want to compare end effectors on their own, see Unitree humanoid hands and grippers.

Configurations

Which Unitree R1 Humanoid Robot is right for you?

Every configuration below is the same core platform. They differ in compute, degrees of freedom and end effectors — from $6,870 to $32,900.

R1 Air

Remote-operated R1 with no hands fitted. Not programmable.

End effector

None fitted

Unitree lists hands as an option on its programmable editions, so ask us before planning to add them here.

What this means

Why it matters: The arms end at the wrist. That suits walking, balance and presence, but the robot cannot pick things up.
