What's in This Configuration
The R1-A5-D Smart C adds tactile sensing to the 3-finger dexterity of the Dex3-1 platform. Force-sensitive fingertips and palm arrays on each hand enable pressure mapping, contact detection, and slip prediction — all while navigating autonomously on the R1-A5-D mobile base with MID360 LiDAR and stereo vision. The built-in Orin Nano 40 TOPS fuses tactile, visual, and LiDAR streams for a complete multi-modal mobile manipulation pipeline.
✓ 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.
✓ Dex3-1 Tactile 3-Finger Hands
Three-finger dexterous hands with integrated tactile sensors pre-installed on both arms for force-aware adaptive grasping on a mobile platform.
✓ Tactile Sensor Array
Force-sensitive fingertips and palm regions on each hand enabling pressure mapping, contact detection, and slip prediction during mobile manipulation.
✓ Wrist RGB Cameras
Dedicated RGB cameras mounted on each wrist for close-up visual feedback, pose estimation, and grasp verification during navigation and manipulation.
✓ MID360 LiDAR
360° surround LiDAR integrated into the mobile chassis for real-time SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation.
✓ Orin Nano 40 TOPS
Built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano delivering 40 TOPS for tactile-visual fusion, navigation, arm control, and wrist-camera processing.
Dex3-1 Tactile — Feel What You Grasp
The Dex3-1 Tactile takes the three-finger dexterity of the standard Dex3-1 and adds an array of force-sensitive tactile sensors integrated into the fingertips and palm surfaces. This enables real-time pressure mapping and contact detection across adaptive grasp configurations — critical for force-controlled manipulation on a moving platform, compliant grasping of fragile objects, and physical human-robot interaction where both dexterity and touch matter simultaneously.
Tactile-Visual Fusion — Multi-Modal Perception on the Move
Smart C processes synchronized streams from four sensor modalities on the Orin Nano 40 TOPS: tactile pressure maps from each 3-finger hand, close-up RGB from wrist cameras, scene-level depth from the head binocular camera, and 360° point clouds from the MID360 LiDAR. This rich multi-modal fusion enables research in tactile-visual servoing for mobile manipulation, affordance prediction with force awareness, slip-compensated grasping while navigating, and sensorimotor learning across perception and locomotion — domains where any single modality is insufficient.
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 + Tactile — Complete Perception Stack
Smart C processes data from five complementary sensors: a MID360 360° LiDAR for metrically accurate mapping, a binocular camera head for scene-level vision, dedicated wrist RGB cameras on each arm for close-up grasp feedback, and tactile arrays on each Dex3-1 hand for force-aware contact detection. Fused on the Orin Nano 40 TOPS, this multi-modality perception stack supports research in tactile-visual-LiDAR fusion, force-aware mobile manipulation, and multi-modal sensorimotor learning.
Orin Nano 40 TOPS — AI Compute for Tactile Mobile Control
The built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano delivers 40 TOPS of AI compute, running SLAM, path planning, tactile-visual fusion, 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, wrist RGB cameras, and tactile arrays on each Dex3-1 Tactile hand, the R1-A5-D Smart C offers the most complete perception stack for research in multi-modal mobile manipulation and active perception.
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 C 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, visual control, and tactile sensing. ROS 2 native support, dual encoders on every arm joint, and hollow internal wiring make the R1-A5-D Smart C a clean slate for reinforcement learning, tactile mobile manipulation research, embodied AI, and autonomous navigation studies. The built-in Orin Nano 40 TOPS handles multi-modal perception and planning locally without external hardware.
