About the Unitree R1-D Humanoid Robot
The R1-D is the stripped variant of Unitree's R1 and, at $4,290 on Unitree's own store, the least expensive humanoid the company sells. It shares the R1's ultra-light 29kg, 123cm platform and 20-26 DOF envelope, trading configuration for price. For classrooms and developers who want a walking biped to experiment with rather than a research-grade platform, it is the cheapest legitimate entry point in the category — but confirm the exact bill of materials against the standard R1 before ordering, since the $610 saving comes out of the configuration somewhere.
