- 26 degrees of freedom 6 DOF per leg, 5 DOF per arm, a 2-DOF waist and a 2-DOF head for full-body articulation.
- Waist articulation ±150° yaw and ±30° roll enable torso rotation and lateral lean for cartwheels and handstands.
- Pan-and-tilt head Two head DOF let the robot actively aim its cameras and track moving targets without moving its body.
- Binocular stereo vision Two offset cameras compute true depth for reliable close-range obstacle avoidance and object localization.
- Ultra-lightweight design Around 25–29 kg and 121–123 cm tall, easily carried by one person and loaded into a standard vehicle.
- UnifoLM multimodal AI An 8-core onboard compute platform runs Unitree's UnifoLM framework for AI-driven mobility.
Description
The Unitree R1 Basic is an ultra-lightweight humanoid robot standing about 121–123 cm tall — roughly the height of a young child — and weighing approximately 25–29 kg, light enough for a single adult to carry and load into a standard vehicle. It has 26 degrees of freedom, distributed as 6 DOF per leg (12 total), 5 DOF per arm (10 total), a 2-DOF waist and a 2-DOF head. The added waist articulation (±150° yaw and ±30° roll) and the pan-and-tilt head are what distinguish the Basic from the entry-level R1 Air: the waist enables coordinated whole-body athletic maneuvers such as cartwheels and handstands, while the head lets the robot actively track people and objects without repositioning its whole body.
Its binocular stereo camera system is the key upgrade over the R1 Air, computing genuine depth from two offset views for reliable close-range obstacle avoidance, object localization and human-presence sensing. An 8-core onboard compute platform runs Unitree's UnifoLM multimodal framework, and the R1 Basic ships as a closed "civilian" platform positioned for individual buyers, education and hands-on robotics experimentation rather than custom SDK development. Its compact scale suits standard indoor spaces without special infrastructure. Contact us for current pricing, availability and a tailored quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Unitree Robotics R1 Basic is priced at CHF 8,525 in your market. For volume or project orders, contact us for a business quote.
The R1 Basic has 26 degrees of freedom: 6 per leg (12 total), 5 per arm (10 total), a 2-DOF waist and a 2-DOF head — six more than the 20-DOF R1 Air.
The Basic adds waist articulation (±150° yaw, ±30° roll), a 2-DOF pan-and-tilt head, and a binocular stereo camera system with true depth perception, where the R1 Air uses a fixed torso and monocular camera.
It is a compact "civilian" humanoid platform aimed at individual buyers, education and hands-on robotics experimentation, supporting AI-driven mobility, locomotion and human-robot interaction.
