Arm R1-7a Robotic Arm Unit Complete 7-DOF robotic arm assembly with low-inertia high-speed inner-rotor PMSM motors, dual encoders, and industrial crossed-roller bearings. Specify left or right arm version.
Hand Linker Hand O6 Five-Finger Hand with RGB Camera (x1) Standard equipment -- Linker Hand O6 five-finger dexterous hand (non-tactile) with 6 DOF, 11 joints (6 active + 5 passive), linkage drive, 0.82 lb (370 g) weight, 110.2 lb (50 kg) max load, <0.008" (<0.20 mm) accuracy, and integrated RGB camera.
Mounting Kit As2 Quadruped Mounting Interface Specialized mounting hardware and interface plate designed specifically for secure attachment to the Unitree As2 robot dog backplate.
Accessory Kit Power & Data Module Kit (x1) Power and data module accessory kit for clean integration with the As2's onboard systems.
Documentation Development Documentation Comprehensive development documentation, SDK reference, API documentation, and As2 integration guidelines.

Important Notes

  • Left/Right arm selection: The R1-7a comes in left-arm and right-arm versions (mirror images). For single-arm mobile applications, default is right-arm SKU. Specify left-arm when required.
  • As2 Integration: This package is specifically configured for mounting on the Unitree As2 quadruped robot. Ensure your host platform is compatible.
  • Linker Hand O6: Five-finger dexterous hand (non-tactile) with 6 DOF, 11 joints (6 active + 5 passive), linkage drive, 0.82 lb (370 g) weight, 110.2 lb (50 kg) max load, and <0.008" (<0.20 mm) repeat positioning accuracy.
  • RGB camera included: The Linker Hand O6 includes an integrated RGB camera for on-hand visual feedback.
  • Power integration: Power is supplied via the XT30 port from the host quadruped's power bus (24V-60V). Ensure the As2 power system can handle the 700W peak load during dynamic manipulation.
  • Force ratings: Thumb: 4.5 lbf (20 N); Four fingers: 5.6 lbf (25 N) each; Five-finger grip: 15.7 lbf (70 N).
  • Communication interfaces: Arm uses high-speed 485. Ensure compatibility with your As2 communication system.
  • Technical support: Excellent technical support and comprehensive development documentation provided. Full ecosystem support for mobile quadruped integration.
  • 12-month warranty: 12-month warranty on the entire unit. Warranty covers manufacturing defects and normal operational use.
