What's in This Configuration
The R1-A5-D Smart A is the entry point into mobile humanoid research. It pairs the R1-A5-D autonomous mobile base — complete with MID360 LiDAR, stereo vision, and a removable chassis battery — with Dex1-1 V2 parallel grippers for reliable pick-and-place. The built-in Orin Nano 40 TOPS handles onboard navigation, perception, and control without external compute.
✓ R1-A5-D Mobile Base Body
Full upper-body humanoid on a wheeled autonomous chassis: dual 5-DOF arms, 1-DOF waist, 2-DOF head, 1-DOF pillar, 2-DOF base. 683×520×440 mm collapsed, ~30 kg with battery.
✓ Dex1-1 V2 Parallel Grippers
Reliable two-finger parallel grippers pre-installed on both arms for robust pick-and-place, part handling, and basic manipulation tasks.
✓ MID360 LiDAR
360° surround LiDAR integrated into the mobile chassis for real-time SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation.
✓ Stereo Vision Head
Binocular camera head with RGB and depth streaming for scene understanding, object detection, and visual servoing.
✓ Orin Nano 40 TOPS
Built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano delivering 40 TOPS for onboard perception, navigation, and arm control.
✓ Full-Stack Open SDK
Linux framework, ROS 2 native, open APIs for arms, base, audio, vision, lighting. Dual encoders per joint.
Dex1-1 V2 — Reliable Parallel Gripping
The Dex1-1 V2 is a proven two-finger parallel gripper designed for consistency and durability. Its simple, robust mechanism delivers repeatable grasping force for a wide range of industrial and research objects — from small electronic components to medium-weight boxes. Pre-installed on both arms, it turns the R1-A5-D into a capable mobile manipulator for logistics, laboratory automation, and introductory robotics research.
Autonomous Mobile Base — Navigate, Then Manipulate
The R1-A5-D chassis adds 3 degrees of freedom to the upper body: a telescopic pillar for height adjustment and a 2-DOF wheeled base for omnidirectional navigation. Combined with the MID360 LiDAR and stereo camera head, the robot builds real-time maps, plans paths, and avoids obstacles autonomously — then stops precisely to manipulate. The removable lithium-ion battery in the chassis delivers approximately 1.5 hours of untethered operation.
LiDAR + Stereo Vision — Complete Perception Stack
Smart A processes data from two complementary sensors: a MID360 360° LiDAR for metrically accurate mapping and long-range obstacle detection, and a binocular camera head (146°×124° FOV, 60 mm baseline) for colour vision, object recognition, and depth estimation. Fused on the Orin Nano 40 TOPS, this dual-modality perception stack supports research in visual-LiDAR SLAM, semantic navigation, and active perception for mobile manipulation.
Orin Nano 40 TOPS — Onboard AI for Navigation & Control
The built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano delivers 40 TOPS of AI compute, running SLAM, path planning, object detection, and arm trajectory generation locally. No external GPU server, no cloud dependency — just power on and deploy. The module is pre-installed and thermally integrated with the chassis cooling system.
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 MID360 LiDAR, the R1-A5-D Smart A offers a complete perception stack for research in visual-LiDAR fusion, semantic navigation, and mobile manipulation.
Voice Collaboration & Natural Interaction
Four-array beamforming microphones and dual 3 W speakers enable clear voice capture and synthesis in noisy labs, warehouses, or classrooms. The open audio framework supports custom wake words, multilingual TTS, and integration with LLMs for conversational command-and-control — even while the base is in motion.
Collapsible. Mobile. Ready to Deploy.
At 683 × 520 × 440 mm collapsed (1323 mm elevated), the R1-A5-D Smart A navigates standard doorways, elevators, and lab aisles. The telescopic pillar lowers the upper body for transport and raises it for manipulation. At approximately 30 kg with battery, it is a self-contained mobile research platform — no external compute rack, no tether cables during operation.
Full-Stack Open Development
Unitree provides a mature, Linux-based robot development framework with open APIs for the underlying system, robotic arms, mobile base, audio, lighting, and visual control. ROS 2 native support, dual encoders on every arm joint, and hollow internal wiring make the R1-A5-D Smart A a clean slate for reinforcement learning, mobile manipulation research, embodied AI, and autonomous navigation studies. The built-in Orin Nano 40 TOPS handles perception and planning locally without external hardware.
Upgrade Path — Grow With Your Research
Smart A is the entry-level mobile configuration. Expand capability as your research evolves:
- End Effectors — Upgrade to Dex3-1, BrainCo Revo 2, LinkerBot O6, or tendon-driven hands for advanced dexterity.
- Compute Module — Swap to the 100 TOPS expansion for large-model inference and multi-robot coordination.
- Wrist Cameras — Add RGB cameras to each arm for close-up visual feedback and grasp verification.
