Unitree G1 Edu Humanoid Robot Mechanics

The Unitree G1 Edu U3 utilizes a sophisticated humanoid design offering 43 degrees of freedom , enabling highly realistic reproduction of human movements and advanced manipulation. The robot can walk smoothly, maintain balance, rotate its torso, and perform complex movement sequences . Each leg has 6 degrees of freedom, while the arms and multi-axis torso enable natural movements of the entire body. Additionally, each Dex3-1 hand offers 7 degrees of freedom and force control, allowing for precise grasping and manipulation of objects. The design utilizes industrial-grade bearings and PMSM motors, ensuring high dynamics, fast response, and durability during intensive research and experimental work.

The model has 43 degrees of freedom, which gives it great agility.

The U3 version uses the kinematics of the U2 version and additionally has two dexterous, three-fingered Dex3-1 hands.

Unitree G1 AI Robot Perception and Communication

The robot is equipped with an advanced perception system based on a depth camera and a 3D LiDAR scanner , enabling environmental analysis, spatial mapping, and real-time obstacle detection . This allows the platform to be used for research on autonomy and navigation. The audio system includes a four- microphone array and a 5W speaker, enabling voice communication and integration with speech recognition systems. The robot can participate in projects related to human-machine interaction and intelligent communication. The Unitree Explore APP allows you to monitor the robot's operating parameters, temperatures, alarms, and IMU data. You can also perform joint calibration and system diagnostics.

Movement dynamics and physical capabilities of the robot

The Unitree G1 Edu U3 has a compact design , measuring 1320 mm high and weighing approximately 35 kg . Thanks to powerful drives, the robot achieves a maximum knee torque of 120 Nm , which translates into stable and dynamic movement. The robot's arms can carry objects weighing up to approximately 3 kg , while the Dex3-1 hands enable precise manipulation. The robot can perform dynamic movements, maintain balance, and execute complex trajectories even while handling objects. The 9000 mAh battery provides approximately 2 hours of operation , and the quick-change system minimizes downtime during research and experiments.

G1 Edu allows you to perform complex movement sequences, climb stairs, and even get up after a fall.

Open architecture supports Secondary Development, allowing full control over the system.
