R1

Unitree's most affordable humanoid robot, standing 1.23 meters tall and weighing about 29 kg. The R1 is built around agile bipedal locomotion — it can run, do cartwheels, handstands, and recover from pushes — rather than heavy manipulation. Available in three tiers: the stripped-down R1 Air (20 DOF, ~25 kg, $4,900), the standard R1 (26 DOF, ~29 kg, $5,900), and the R1 EDU with optional dexterous hands, head tracking, and an NVIDIA Jetson Orin module for AI workloads. Runs Unitree's UnifoLM multimodal language model locally for voice and image interaction. Aimed at researchers, educators, hobbyists, and early consumer adopters priced out of the $16,000+ G1.
