It delivers hands-on humanoid research (locomotion, manipulation, HRI, embodied AI) at a price point that fits a single grant line item rather than a capital request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR1 EDU platform: the only R1 tier with secondary development support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26–40 degrees of freedom with optional dexterous hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional high-power computing module (NVIDIA Orin class, 40–100 TOPS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional LiDAR package and EDU backpack expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinocular depth camera, multimodal speech-and-vision AI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR1 EDU (Edu Smart is a dealer configuration of this tier)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (standing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1230 × 357 × 190 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 29 kg (with battery)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDegrees of Freedom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26–40 (with optional dexterous hand)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCamera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBinocular depth camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-core CPU + optional NVIDIA Orin module (40–100 TOPS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDevelopment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary development supported (EDU-exclusive)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwappable pack, approx. 1 h runtime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0°C to 40°C (not waterproof or dustproof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecifications per Unitree R1 User Manual V1.3.

In-stock units go out quickly, while factory-configured builds take longer. We confirm the current lead time when you order or request a quote and keep you informed through delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the warranty cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach unit carries a 12-month manufacturer warranty serviced through Unitree's authorized US distribution, meaning US-based repair rather than shipping your robot overseas. Extended coverage options are available when you request a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you work with purchase orders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. We regularly handle university, government, and enterprise procurement: formal quotes, vendor registration, W-9 documentation, and purchase orders for verified institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I program the R1 Edu Smart with an SDK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The R1 EDU platform is the only R1 tier with secondary development support, so the Edu Smart is built for writing and deploying your own code, with optional NVIDIA Orin compute for onboard AI workloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for a lab environment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It is a research platform intended for operators 18 and up, and it needs a clear, dry indoor operating space. Since a protective mount is not included by default, plan your early development sessions accordingly or ask us about mounting options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy order through Global Drone HQ rather than importing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGray-market imports come with no US warranty support and often lack English documentation or firmware support. Our robots are sourced through Unitree's authorized US distribution with US-based service, and we support your team before and after the sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eExplore the Unitree Lineup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare every configuration in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/unitree\"\u003ethe full Unitree collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
