About
R1 is a compact humanoid family. R1 AIR has 20 joints and approximately 27 kg weight; R1 has 26 joints and approximately 29 kg weight; EDU spans 26–40 joints depending on options. All are listed at 1,230 mm height with about one hour battery life. Secondary development is listed for EDU only. A torque row on the English page uses kg rather than torque units, so that ambiguous row is not imported.
