Overview
Unitree's first full-size humanoid and, for a time, the fastest walking humanoid on record. Widely used in university labs for RL locomotion and teleoperation research thanks to its open low-level SDK. Lighter and simpler than most industrial humanoids, with no dexterous hands in the base model.
