Product description: Humanoid robot - Unitree G1 Edu U5
The Unitree G1 Edu U5 is a professional humanoid platform designed for research laboratories, technical universities, and teams developing artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics systems. The robot combines advanced mechanics, high computing power, and an advanced perception system enabling complex manipulation tasks requiring very high precision. The Edu U5 is based on the G1 Edu Advanced Edition platform and is equipped with two advanced five-fingered RH56DFQ hands . These hands allow the robot to grasp tools, manipulate irregular objects, and perform tasks requiring high dexterity and adaptive motion control. Combined with seven-axis arms and a three-axis waist, the design offers a total of 41 degrees of freedom , allowing it to replicate natural human movements and perform complex manipulation operations. The robot utilizes a depth camera and a 3D LiDAR scanner for environmental perception, supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 , and a 9000 mAh intelligent battery provides approximately 2 hours of operation. The knee joint has a maximum torque of 120 Nm, and the arm can move objects weighing up to approximately 3 kg. AI processing is handled by a powerful 8-core processor and the Nvidia Jetson Orin platform, offering computing power of up to 100 TOPS.
