Unitree R1-A5
AI ChatLast updated:
Unitree R1-A5 is the fixed-base 5-axis-arm configuration of Unitree Robotics' R1-D dual-arm humanoid platform. It combines two 5-axis arms, a waist and a two-axis head with binocular cameras on a compact fixed base. The arms reach 420 mm and carry about 2–4 kg, with end-clamp accuracy of ±0.1 mm, and a two-finger gripper or a three- or five-finger dexterous hand can be fitted. Voice interaction, stereo vision and an onboard AI processor let developers build manipulation and embodied-AI applications through Unitree's open interfaces, and an optional NVIDIA Orin module adds more compute.
