Unitree Robotics has just launched the R1 humanoid robot for only 39,999 yuan (about 146 million dong). R1 has 26 joints, can tumble, run uphill, and stand up quickly like high-end robot models.
The R1's surprisingly low price puts competitors like Tesla, Figure AI, and Agility Robotics under a lot of pressure. Unitree positions R1 as a development platform for individuals, research teams, and small businesses.
This robot is lighter but still performs basic movement and control tasks smoothly. R1 opens the era of "affordable" humanoid robots, helping to popularize technology to many people. The product was launched just ahead of Unitree's IPO, showing the Chinese company's big ambitions.
With R1, China is gaining a big advantage in the new stage of the global robot technology race. Readers are invited to watch more videos : Iris scanning tool to verify human identity | VTV24
