Overview

Die Unitree R1 Basic ist ein kompakter humanoider Roboter, der etwa 25 kg wiegt und etwa 1,230 mm hoch ist mit 24 Freiheitsgraden. Antrieben von hochleistungsfähigen PMSM-Motoren und gekreuzten Rollenlagern bietet er agiles und präzises Bewegungsverhalten. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit erreicht etwa 9 km/h (~2,5 m/s), mit Gelenken, die eine Nutzlast von etwa 2 kg pro Arm tragen können. Angetrieben von einem 8-Kern-High-End-CPU verfügt die R1 Basic über erweiterte Anschlussmöglichkeiten, einschließlich Wi‑Fi 6 und Bluetooth 5.2, und ist mit einem 4-Mikrofon-Array, Lautsprecher und Stereokamera ausgestattet, was sie ideal für schnelle Implementierung und Entwicklung in Robotikdemos, Bildungs- und Forschungsumgebungen sowie AI-Prototypierung macht.
