Unitree R1 Edu U4

Key Features

• Exceptional Dexterity and DoF: With a total of 40 Degrees of Freedom (DoF), this model is built for complex tasks. This includes 26 DoF in the main body (6 per leg, 5 per arm, 2 in the waist, and 2 in the head) plus 7 DoF per hand for fine-tuned manipulation.
• Tactile Force-Controlled Dexterous Hands: It is equipped with two Dex3-1 force-controlled three-finger dexterous hands, which include tactile sensing capabilities. This feature is crucial for research in sensitive object handling and human-robot interaction (HRI).
• Powerful AI Computing: The robot features an 8-core high-performance CPU and includes a built-in computing power upgrade to a 100 TOPS expansion dock, often utilizing an optional NVIDIA Jetson Orin module. This power enables real-time multimodal AI processing, sensor fusion, and on-board training.
• Open Development Ecosystem: Designed for deep secondary development, the R1 EDU Pro B (U4) provides high- and low-level development interfaces and comprehensive SDKs. It supports professional simulation environments like Isaac SIM for seamless algorithm testing and deployment.
• Multimodal Perception: The robot is equipped with an Anthropomorphic Binocular Camera for stereo vision and environmental depth perception, a 4-microphone array, and a built-in speaker, enabling advanced speech and image recognition via an integrated multimodal large language model.
• Agile and Lightweight Design: Standing at approximately 1.21 meters tall and weighing only about 25 kg, the robot is ultra-lightweight and highly agile, capable of dynamic movements, balance, and complex locomotion experiments
• Connectivity and Power: Features include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, an approximately 1-hour battery life from its quick-release smart battery, and support for intelligent Over-The-Air (OTA) upgrades.
