Overview

ROBOTERA’s versatile humanoid robot, ROBOTERA STAR1, stands 171 cm tall and boasts 55 degrees of freedom (DOF) across its structure. The legs offer 12 DOF for superior movement, while the waist includes 3 DOF, enhancing flexibility and stability. With joint capabilities reaching up to 400 Nm of torque and peak rotational speeds of 25 rad/s, ROBOTERA STAR1 demonstrates impressive strength and mobility. In real-world outdoor conditions, ROBOTERA STAR1 achieves a top running speed of 3.6 m/s, setting a world record for bipedal robots. The neck, with 2 DOF, enables natural, human-like movements, enhancing its ability to perform tasks requiring precise head positioning. The robot’s upper limbs feature advanced robotic arms with 7 DOF each, paired with the ROBOTERA XHAND1—a five-fingered, dexterous hand equipped with 12 active DOF and full direct drive. This setup allows ROBOTERA STAR1 to carry out complex and highly accurate operations with ease.
