What's in This Configuration
The R1-A5-D Ultimate A is the entry point into the Ultimate series — pairing the same R1-A5-D mobile base and Dex1-1 V2 parallel grippers as the Smart A with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 100 TOPS compute module. Unlike the Smart series, Ultimate A runs on an 8-core CPU with 16 GB LPDDR5 and dual DLA cores — delivering 2.5× the AI performance and enough memory headroom for large-model inference, multi-modal sensor fusion, and future upgrades. The Dex1-1 V2 grippers provide reliable two-finger parallel grasping for mobile pick-and-place, navigation-then-manipulation workflows, and educational robotics — all with compute headroom to grow.
✓ 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 mobile pick-and-place, object sorting, and foundational manipulation research.
✓ MID360 LiDAR
360° surround LiDAR integrated into the mobile chassis for real-time SLAM, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation.
✓ Orin NX 100 TOPS
Built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX with 8-core CPU, 16 GB LPDDR5, and dual DLA cores — delivering 100 TOPS for visual-LiDAR fusion, navigation, and manipulation planning with room to grow.
Dex1-1 V2 Parallel Grippers — Reliable Mobile Grasping
The Dex1-1 V2 is a two-finger parallel gripper designed for dependable, repeatable grasping on a mobile platform. Its simple, robust architecture minimizes failure modes during navigation-then-manipulation workflows: the gripper approaches an object, closes with adjustable force, and holds securely while the base moves. The parallel jaw design excels at picking prismatic objects (boxes, cylinders, tools) and is ideal for foundational mobile manipulation research, warehouse automation prototyping, and educational robotics where reliability and simplicity matter more than dexterity. With the Orin NX 100 TOPS, even this entry-level gripper configuration can run advanced visual servoing, grasp pose detection, and reinforcement learning policies that would strain a lesser compute module.
Navigate, Then Manipulate — Mobile Pick-and-Place
Ultimate A combines the R1-A5-D mobile base with straightforward parallel grippers to create a platform optimized for mobile pick-and-place and navigation-then-manipulation research. The MID360 LiDAR and stereo camera head build real-time maps and plan collision-free paths. The robot drives to a target location, positions itself precisely, and executes a pick with the Dex1-1 V2 grippers. The Orin NX 100 TOPS handles SLAM, path planning, visual object detection, and gripper control simultaneously — with enough headroom to add learned policies, multi-object scene understanding, or fleet coordination without hardware limits.
Vision-LiDAR Fusion — Perception for Mobile Manipulation
Ultimate A processes synchronized streams from two sensor modalities on the Orin NX 100 TOPS: scene-level depth from the head binocular camera and 360° point clouds from the MID360 LiDAR. The dual DLA cores can run vision perception networks in parallel while the GPU handles SLAM and planning — no resource contention even under full load. With 16 GB RAM, the system can hold multiple perception models in memory: an object detector for grasp targets, a SLAM network for localization, and a path planner — all running concurrently. This vision-LiDAR fusion enables research in semantic navigation, object-centric mobile manipulation, and autonomous warehouse workflows.
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.
Orin NX 100 TOPS — Flagship Compute for Entry-Level Manipulation
The built-in NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX delivers 100 TOPS of AI compute across an 8-core CPU, 16 GB LPDDR5, and dual NVDLA V2.0 accelerators. Even with entry-level grippers, this compute headroom transforms what Ultimate A can achieve: run real-time SLAM with MID360 LiDAR, process stereo depth at full resolution, deploy learned grasp policies, and experiment with multi-robot coordination — all simultaneously. The dedicated DLA cores offload neural network inference from the GPU, leaving GPU resources free for sensor fusion and planning. The 16 GB RAM provides space for large models that would not fit on an 8 GB module. No external GPU server, no cloud dependency — just power on and deploy.
Binocular Vision & Scene 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 Ultimate A offers a complete perception stack for mobile manipulation research — with the Orin NX 100 TOPS processing both streams in real time for SLAM, object detection, and navigation.
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 Ultimate 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 Ultimate A a clean slate for reinforcement learning, mobile manipulation research, embodied AI, and autonomous navigation studies. The built-in Orin NX 100 TOPS with dual DLA cores and 16 GB RAM handles perception and planning locally — with compute headroom to grow into more advanced end effectors and algorithms without hardware limits.
Upgrade Path — Grow With Your Research
Ultimate A is the entry point with flagship compute already installed. The Orin NX 100 TOPS, 16 GB RAM, and dual DLA cores provide headroom to grow:
- End Effectors — Upgrade to Dex3-1, BrainCo Revo 2, LinkerBot O6, or tendon-driven hands as your manipulation needs evolve. The compute is already ready.
- Wrist Cameras — Add RGB cameras to the grippers for close-up visual feedback and grasp verification.
- Tactile Sensing — Integrate force-sensitive fingertips for contact-aware grasping.
- Large Vision-Language Models — Run VLA policies and multi-modal foundation models locally without quantization.
