About Unitree R1-D
The Unitree R1-D is a family of dual-arm robots from Unitree Robotics, separate from the biped R1 in this database. Unitree announced the line on 30 April 2026. Its R1-D page lists four models: the R1-A5 and R1-A7 on a fixed base, and the R1-A5-D and R1-A7-D on a mobile base with a lifting column.
The official page gives the R1-A5-D at about 30 kg with 18 degrees of freedom including the gripper, and the R1-A7-D at about 32 kg with 22 degrees of freedom. Arm payload is 2-4 kg per arm, depending on arm extension, and battery-powered operation lasts about 1.5 hours. Unitree's current page lists both mobile versions as adjustable from 683 to 1,600 mm, superseding lower raised-height figures in early coverage. No maximum speed is published.
Unitree's shop lists the R1-D from $4,290 and asks buyers to contact sales to purchase. Unitree lists interchangeable two-finger grippers and dexterous hands, along with open programming interfaces and secondary-development support. Its booking page groups the R1-D with education, research and industrial customers.
