What's in This Configuration

The R1-A5 Smart F introduces the LinkerBot Hand O6 — a six-degree-of-freedom dexterous hand that pushes beyond traditional finger-count metrics. With 6-DOF per hand, it delivers exceptional articulation for researchers exploring high-degree-of-freedom control, complex in-hand manipulation, and dexterous tool use. Combined with wrist RGB cameras and the built-in Orin Nano 40 TOPS, Smart F is the configuration of choice for labs focused on advanced kinematics and high-DOF policy learning.

✓ Full-Stack Open SDK
Linux framework, ROS 2 native, open APIs for arms, audio, vision, lighting. Dual encoders per joint.

LinkerBot Hand O6 — 6 Degrees of Freedom per Hand

The LinkerBot Hand O6 is a research-grade dexterous hand built around a six-degree-of-freedom joint architecture — exceeding the kinematic complexity of traditional anthropomorphic designs. Rather than replicating human finger count, the O6 optimizes for articulation density and control precision, enabling complex in-hand manipulation, multi-point contact strategies, and dexterous tool use that demands more independent joints than a standard five-finger hand provides. Each hand is paired with a wrist-mounted RGB camera for visual feedback during high-DOF control tasks.

High-DOF Control — Beyond Finger Count

Smart F is designed for researchers who prioritize kinematic complexity over anthropomorphic fidelity. The 6-DOF LinkerBot Hand O6 enables control strategies that are impossible with simpler grippers: multi-point contact for stable grasping of irregular objects, in-hand reorientation using internal degrees of freedom, and dexterous tool manipulation where wrist and finger motions must be coordinated with high precision. Combined with wrist RGB cameras for visual servoing and the Orin Nano 40 TOPS for real-time policy execution, Smart F is the platform of choice for high-degree-of-freedom manipulation research.

Orin Nano 40 TOPS — AI Compute for High-DOF Policies

The built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano delivers 40 TOPS of AI compute, handling high-dimensional control policies for 6-DOF hands, simultaneous streams from wrist RGB cameras and head binocular vision, and reinforcement learning algorithms with large action spaces. Run visual servoing, grasp planning networks, and high-DOF policy optimization locally with sub-millisecond latency. No external GPU server, no cloud dependency — just plug in power and start training.

Binocular Vision & Multi-Camera Perception

A binocular camera head delivers a 146° × 124° field of view with a 60 mm stereo baseline for scene-level understanding. RGB streams at 1280×720@30 Hz and depth at 544×448@10 Hz. Combined with the wrist RGB cameras on each LinkerBot Hand O6, the R1-A5 Smart F offers a complete multi-camera perception stack for research in hand-eye coordination, active perception, and high-DOF manipulation.

Voice Collaboration & Natural Interaction

Four-array beamforming microphones and dual 3 W speakers enable clear voice capture and synthesis in noisy labs or classrooms. The open audio framework supports custom wake words, multilingual TTS, and integration with LLMs for conversational command-and-control.

Compact. Lightweight. Desk-Ready.

At just 700 × 357 × 190 mm and approximately 11 kg, the R1-A5 Smart F fits on a standard lab bench or classroom desk. The fixed-base design eliminates footprint concerns while delivering full upper-body humanoid kinematics with 6-DOF dexterity. Power via the included external supply — an optional upper-body Li-ion battery is available for ~1.5 hours of untethered operation.

Full-Stack Open Development

Unitree provides a mature, Linux-based robot development framework with open APIs for the underlying system, robotic arms, audio, lighting, and visual control. ROS 2 native support, dual encoders on every arm joint, and hollow internal wiring make the R1-A5 Smart F a clean slate for reinforcement learning, teleoperation research, embodied AI, and high-DOF manipulation studies. The built-in Orin Nano 40 TOPS handles model training and inference for 6-DOF hand control without external hardware.

Upgrade Path — Grow With Your Research

Start with Smart F and expand as your projects evolve. The R1-A5 platform is fully modular:

  • End Effectors — Upgrade to LinkerBot Hand O6 Tactile for force-sensitive 6-DOF grasping, or BrainCo Revo 2 for anthropomorphic five-finger dexterity.
  • Upper-Body Battery — Add the Li-ion battery pack for ~1.5 hours of cord-free operation.
  • Mobile Base — Upgrade to the R1-A5-D platform with wheeled autonomous chassis, LiDAR, and expanded workspace.
