Unitree R1 Edu U5

Key Features and Specifications

• Humanoid Form Factor: Bipedal design optimized for dynamic locomotion, standing approximately 1.21m tall.
• High Degrees of Freedom (DOF): Features a total of 38 DOFs (degrees of freedom), which include:
  • 26 DOFs in the main body (6 per leg, 5 per arm, 2 in the waist, and 2 in the head)
  • An additional 12 DOFs from its two BrianCo Revo 2 Basic five-finger dexterous hands (6 DOFs per hand) for advanced manipulation tasks.
• Advanced Computing: Includes an 8-core high-performance CPU for responsive, real-time control, with a powerful built-in compute expansion dock offering up to 100 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) for AI processing. An optional NVIDIA Jetson Orin AI module upgrade is available for GPU-accelerated AI computations.
• Perception & Interaction: Equipped with a Humanoid Binocular Camera for visual perception, a 4-microphone array, and a built-in speaker, enabling multimodal AI interaction (voice and image recognition) powered by an integrated large multimodal language model.
• Developer-Friendly Platform: Supports high- and low-level secondary development and includes an open SDK and ROS 2 interfaces (EDU-only), making it a versatile tool for experimenting with complex AI, locomotion, and manipulation algorithms.
• Agile Mobility: Capable of a wide range of expressive and dynamic movements such as running, balancing, and advanced actions.
• Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, and can receive Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.
• Endurance: The smart, quick-release lithium battery provides a battery life of approximately 1 hour of continuous use.

The R1 EDU U5 is an ideal tool for researchers and developers focused on pushing the boundaries of bipedal control, human-robot interaction (HRI), and embodied artificial intelligence.
