RobotEra STAR1
STAR1 is a general-purpose humanoid robot from RobotEra (星动纪元), a Chinese startup founded by researchers from Tsinghua University. It set a world speed record for bipedal robots at 3.6 m/s (about 8 mph) during a desert run test in China's Gobi Desert in October 2024, surpassing Unitree H1's previous record. The robot has 55 degrees of freedom total, including 7 DOF per arm and a 12-DOF five-fingered dexterous hand (XHAND1) with full direct drive for precise manipulation. Its legs feature 12 DOF with joint torques up to 400 Nm and peak rotational speeds of 25 rad/s. Powered by RobotEra's proprietary ERA-42 AI model, STAR1 can walk, run, and jump on varied terrain and learn new tasks from minimal data. Target applications include manufacturing assembly, logistics, commercial services, and home care.
