Unitree R1 humanoid robot on a plain background — the 121 cm bipedal chassis shared by every R1 configuration
What the R1 Basic is
The R1 Basic is the entry configuration of Unitree’s 121–123 cm bipedal humanoid, listed at $8,990. It arrives as a finished demonstration machine: 24 degrees of freedom, binocular cameras, head and waist articulation, voice and vision AI, app and remote control, and factory routines that include running, cartwheels and fall recovery on day one. Runtime is roughly an hour on a hot-swappable battery, and the warranty is eight months.
What it does not include — and what the next tier adds
The Basic ships with no SDK and no secondary development path. That is a property of the configuration, not a licence you can add later, and it is the single most common reason a buyer regrets this tier. If you need ROS 2, Python or C++ access, the cheapest R1 that provides it is the R1 EDU Standard at $15,950, which adds a 40 TOPS NVIDIA Jetson module, the full SDK and a 12-month warranty.
Buy the Basic if you want a humanoid that performs from the moment it is unboxed — lobby demos, STEM outreach, film and event work, or a physical anchor for a robotics programme. Do not buy it as a research platform.
This is the configuration page for the Unitree R1 Basic. Every other configuration, the full specification tables and the price history are in our Unitree R1 guide. Prices shown are dealer-listed prices read from that configuration’s own product page, not manufacturer MSRP, and they are re-read automatically every day; the date above is the last reading. We are not the seller and we do not hold stock — the dealer handles quoting, payment, logistics, warranty and after-sales. Affiliate disclosure.
