On July 25, Unitree unveiled the R1 through its official YouTube channel and social platforms, sharing an early look at a humanoid robot that remains in active development. Built for flexible movement, responsive interaction, and real-world usability, the R1 represents Unitree’s ongoing effort to make humanoid robots relevant outside of research or enterprise-only environments.
While details on specs and release timing remain limited, the initial reveal has drawn attention for its compact form, onboard AI, and potential to reach a broader range of users.
