Product description: Humanoid robot - Unitree G1 Edu U1
The Unitree G1 Edu U1 is an advanced humanoid educational and research robot , part of the professional G1 Edu series created for scientists, developers, and R&D teams. The platform builds on the proven design of the G1 model, while offering full openness to the development and implementation of custom artificial intelligence algorithms . The robot has 23 degrees of freedom , including 6 DoF for each leg, 5 DoF for each arm, and 1 DoF at the waist, ensuring stable and realistic locomotion. The use of PMSM motors, industrial bearings, and dual encoders guarantees high precision, dynamic operation, and repeatable movements. The maximum knee joint torque is 120 Nm , and the maximum arm load is approximately 3 kg . A perception system based on a depth camera and 3D LiDAR enables accurate environmental analysis and supports autonomous navigation. The built-in 100 TOPS computing module enables real-time processing of advanced AI algorithms, while support for both low- and high-level programming provides complete control over the robot's behavior. Additionally, the robot offers WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, voice communication, and a 9000 mAh battery. This solution is designed not only for learning, but above all for actively developing and testing modern robotic systems.

Biomechanics of a humanoid robot
The design of the humanoid robot is inspired by human anatomy, which translates into a natural way of moving and high stability . Thanks to the use of industrial-grade cross-bearings and dual encoders, the robot precisely controls the position of each of its 23 joints . Each leg has 6 degrees of freedom , enabling stable walking and running, while advanced active stabilization algorithms prevent the robot from falling while interacting with its environment. The joints' range of motion, including knees of up to 165° , allows for complex movement sequences and research on locomotion and balance control. This allows the robot to be used both in laboratory environments and for technology demonstrations.
