Overview
R1 is a humanoid robot by Unitree in the xpu live catalog, listed for education applications. This profile combines its recorded configuration, capabilities and pricing sources so you can compare the platform with other humanoids.
R1 is Unitree’s compact humanoid family for movement, interaction and educational development. Lite, standard and EDU configurations differ.
The platform supports hands-on robotics learning and algorithm development. Confirm the software interface and compute package for the exact educational edition.
The starting store price is for the lowest listed configuration. Developer interfaces, extra joints, hands and compute are edition-specific; confirm the exact package.
R1 specifications and configuration
Review the specifications section for the exact configuration scope. Dimensions, degrees of freedom, battery information and payload figures are manufacturer-reported where available. Each measurement should be read with its source and test conditions; different editions of a robot can expose different hardware capabilities.
For R1, developer access, sensors and control options are recorded only when the source describes them. A missing specification remains unknown. Before planning an integration, check the supported interfaces, required software and any restrictions on modifying or deploying the platform.
Applications and integration
The listed capabilities and use cases describe the platform’s documented scope. Evaluate them against your actual environment, objects and operating conditions. A demonstration of walking or manipulation does not establish reliable autonomous performance for every task.
Review the limitations section and determine where supervision or remote assistance is required. Plan for commissioning, operator training and maintenance. Test representative tasks with the intended hardware configuration before treating the robot as a complete solution for a production workflow.
R1 price and purchasing context
The price section identifies the configuration, currency and source behind the displayed figure. Official, reported and reseller prices are distinguished. Starting prices and historical references may have a narrower scope than the current platform, while a deposit or subscription is a separate purchasing condition.
Confirm the full R1 quote with Unitree or the named seller. Check delivery, supported markets, warranty and included accessories. Shipping, taxes and integration work can add costs. If no public purchase price is confirmed, contact the manufacturer instead of interpreting a blank value as free access.
Evidence tier and source checks
This directory orders robots by evidence tier and then alphabetically. The position is an editorial catalog order, not an independent benchmark score. Review the stated reason and its linked evidence to understand whether the platform is in customer use, a product catalog, a pilot or development.
Open the official R1 product reference for the original details. The sources panel records specification and pricing checks separately. Those dates describe a review snapshot and should be considered when confirming current availability.
Explore Unitree manufacturer profile, compare other humanoid robots and read our methodology. Choose R1 based on the verified configuration, task requirements and procurement terms rather than one headline specification.
