Unitree's R1 introduction shows promotional demonstrations, not our tests or proof of autonomous household help. Its launch-era price and weight labels are not the current configuration table below; Air and EDU packages differ.

R1's appeal begins with movement and interaction. Its remote-control manual documents dance presets, a handshake, a wave and a voice-mode switch. Those are useful activities to ask about in a demonstration, while checking the firmware and language support included in the actual offer. Standard R1 does not support secondary development; that is an EDU feature.41
On October 25, 2026, the selected R1 White listing advertised USD 5,900 and displayed In Stock. Shipping was listed at USD 300 to USD 1,200, with import charges additional. The product-page USD 4,900 starting price belongs to AIR. Confirm delivery to your address before treating the stock label as a shipment commitment.21
Unitree gives an approximate one-hour battery rating. Treat that as a planning starting point, then ask how long the intended routine runs with the supplied battery and software. For an event greeting or short performance, include preparation, charging and the operator's time in the plan.14Inferred
The listed standing dimensions are 1,230 × 357 × 190 mm. Plan the demonstration area around the actual movement you want to run, not just those static dimensions. Unitree also says some sample functions on the page are still being developed, making confirmation of the enabled routines particularly useful.1
The current standard-R1 table lists an eight-month warranty and points to the detailed warranty brochure. Unitree's general terms exclude certain damage from falls and unauthorized modification. Ask where the exact unit would be repaired, how transport is handled and which maintenance the owner is permitted to perform.16
The binocular camera and microphones make data handling part of the purchase conversation. Ask what is processed on the robot, what leaves it, whether recordings are retained and which functions depend on online services. Request any recurring software charges alongside the hardware quote.12
The middle column describes standard R1. AIR and EDU have different specifications and access. Standard R1 has an approximate one-hour runtime and an eight-month warranty entry; the detailed brochure still matters.Inferred

This dated offer is the selected R1 White variant 49681001185513. Its USD 5,900 price and In Stock label are separate from AIR pricing and from confirmed shipment to a particular address.

The July 2025 family introduction used an approximate 25 kg description. The current standard table specifies about 29 kg with its battery; the older description does not establish the same measurement basis.

The BT2-72 manual prints 194.4 Wh, 6,000 mAh and 35.1 V. Those figures are not arithmetically consistent, and the supplied pack for the White variant is not established. No robot-level energy rating is assigned from them.

A source-based profile, not a hands-on review or buying recommendation.
This record covers the standard Unitree R1 humanoid and its 26-joint configuration. Air and EDU are distinct editions.
Do you want to use supplied activities or write your own robot software? Standard R1 is not the secondary-development edition. Ask the seller to demonstrate the activities and controls included in the exact version you are considering.
The selected standard R1 White offer lists USD5900, with shipping and import charges separate. The shop labels it In Stock; destination acceptance and fulfillment remain unverified.
A joint count does not tell you how well a robot will do your intended job. Standard R1 excludes secondary development, and a whole-robot payload or walking-speed rating has not been qualified here.
Ask which battery and firmware the quote supplies, which movements and languages are enabled, and how runtime changes under the intended activity. About one hour is the manufacturer's unspecified-workload estimate.
