Overview

The Unitree D1 is a masterpiece of lightweight engineering, weighing just 2.37kg while offering 6+1 Degrees of Freedom for unmatched dexterity. Engineered for the next generation of Embodied AI, it features ultra-high precision joints equipped with 17-bit encoders, delivering a repetition accuracy of ±0.05mm. Beyond simple movement, the D1 excels in Full-Process Force Control, with a force resolution of ±0.1N. This allows the arm to interact with its environment with human-like sensitivity, making it capable of delicate tasks, compliant interaction, and complex manipulation that traditional rigid arms simply cannot handle.
