UNITREE R1 Edu U6 Humanoid Robot

UNITREE R1 Edu U6 (Crismon Hero) Humanoid Robot

The Unitree R1 Edu U6 is an advanced humanoid robot designed as a comprehensive research and development platform for work in robotics and artificial intelligence. With a height of 1210 mm, a weight of approximately 25 kg, and as many as 38 degrees of freedom, its design ensures very high mobility and precision of movement, while remaining compact and easy to transport. The EDU U6 version combines all the capabilities of the R1 Basic and EDU U1, expanding them with more powerful computing power, support for AI algorithms, two five-fingered Revo 2 Touch hands with full haptic support, and additional degrees of freedom for the head. All of this makes the device a complete tool for advanced experiments, simulations, and more.

Advanced kinematics and natural movement

The robot offers a total of 38 degrees of freedom, which translates to very realistic, smooth, and complex full-body movements. The Unitree R1 Edu U6 can easily jump, run, walk on its hands, and even perform sequences inspired by martial arts. Each leg has 6 DoF, the waist 2 DoF, each arm 5 DoF, and the head 2 DoF. Added to this are two hands—6 DoF each. Wide ranges of motion in the waist, hips, and knees allow for testing advanced algorithms for locomotion, balance, and manipulation in dynamic scenarios.

Precise joint design

The Unitree R1 EDU U6 features a refined joint design with internal cable routing within hollow axes, which enhances reliability and protects mechanical components during intensive use. The use of dual and single encoders ensures high position reading accuracy, while local air cooling maintains stable operating parameters even during prolonged testing. Additionally, the arm’s maximum payload of 2 kg enables experiments with grasping and manipulating objects.

Two Revo 2 Touch hands

The R1 robot in the Edu U6 version is equipped with two dexterous five-finger Revo 2 Touch hands. Each has 6 degrees of freedom and offers full tactile support. Thanks to advanced haptics and extensive object manipulation capabilities, the device performs even better in tasks requiring dexterity and precision.

AI-Ready Platform

The EDU U6 version introduces an expansion dock offering up to 100 TOPS of computing power. The platform has been designed with intensive development of AI algorithms, machine learning, and perception in mind, offering ready-to-use algorithmic support and full access to robot models, APIs, and development tools. Added to this is compatibility with popular simulation environments, including Isaac SIM, which enables a seamless transition from simulation to real-world testing.

Perception, Communication, and Interaction

The robot is equipped with a humanoid binocular camera, which serves as the foundation for visual perception and computer vision algorithms. A built-in speaker and microphone array enable natural-sounding voice communication, while Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity ensure stable data transmission.

A Ready-to-Use Ecosystem for Research

The Unitree R1 EDU U6 is designed as a complete solution for laboratories, universities, and R&D; teams. The smart lithium battery with a quick-release system provides approximately 1 hour of operation, and the included charger allows the robot to be quickly restored to working order. The package is complemented by extensive technical and ecosystem support, which facilitates the implementation of the device even in highly advanced research projects.
