Unitree R1 Edu U2

Key Features:

• Open and Fully Programmable: Designed for developers and researchers, the U2 model supports both high-level and low-level secondary development. It provides open SDK and ROS 2 interfaces (Unitree typically uses a Linux-based SDK), allowing for full control, algorithm testing, and direct hardware integration.
• Advanced Agility: Features 26 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) (6 per leg, 5 per arm, 2 in the waist, and 2 in the head), enabling a wide range of fluid, human-like movements, dynamic locomotion, and complex balance control experiments.
• Enhanced AI Computing: Built-in computing power is upgraded to a 100 Tops expansion dock, which facilitates secondary development and advanced AI algorithm support. This is often achieved through an included or optional NVIDIA Jetson Orin module.
• Multimodal Perception & Interaction: Equipped with a humanoid binocular camera for visual perception, a 4-microphone array, and a speaker, allowing it to process both voice and image inputs. It is integrated with a multimodal large language model (LLM) for intelligent, adaptive interaction, speech recognition, and image processing.
• Research & Simulation Ready: Provides robot models and simulation interfaces, supporting major simulation environments like Isaac SIM, allowing researchers to seamlessly transition algorithms from virtual testing to real-world operation.

Ideal for:

• Universities and Educational Institutions
• Robotics and AI Research & Development Labs
• Developers Prototyping Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) applications
• Experiments in bipedal locomotion, dynamic control, and computer vision.

The R1 EDU U2 is a cutting-edge, accessible tool that aims to accelerate innovation by providing a sophisticated yet affordable humanoid platform for the global robotics community.
